[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] The sports utility vehicle (SUV) ‘C40 Recharge’ has been introduced in Korea. The C40 Recharge offers a balanced combination of three purchasing factors: ‘product appeal, price, and service,’ providing a new option for potential electric vehicle customers in the domestic market.

Volvo has developed a differentiated integrated infotainment service exclusively for domestic customers, a first among imported cars.

Electric vehicle?exclusive features include ▲checking the expected remaining battery charge upon arrival at the destination ▲automatic recommendation of nearby charging stations and route additions ▲viewing the drivable range with the current battery charge, reducing stress related to EV charging and providing a high level of connectivity for a new electric vehicle lifestyle.

By using the brand’s official digital app based on mobile and digital devices, the ‘Volvo Cars App,’ various vehicle systems can be remotely controlled. Without getting into the car, new functions for the electric vehicle lifestyle have been applied, such as ▲remote monitoring of vehicle status including battery charge status ▲setting charging schedules ▲and pre-conditioning the cabin temperature before boarding.
