					<description><![CDATA[Volvo sedang menjalani penyelarasan semula strategik bagi barisan kenderaan elektriknya untuk lebih sepadan dengan konvensyen penamaan model yang akan datang yang terdiri daripada model-model yang hanya menggunakan kuasa elektrik.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bermula pada tahun 2025, usaha penyelarasan semula ini akan menyaksikan XC40 Recharge dikenali semula sebagai EX40, manakala C40 Recharge akan dikenali sebagai EC40.</p>
<p><a href="https://thepistonshow.com/galleries/image_2026-04-27_232604284/"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-141181" src="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_232604284-1024x683.png" alt="Volvo Mengumumkan Penjenamaan Semula untuk Model EV" width="800" height="534" srcset="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_232604284-1024x683.png 1024w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_232604284-300x200.png 300w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_232604284-768x512.png 768w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_232604284-1536x1024.png 1536w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_232604284.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Inisiatif penyemakan semula ini bertujuan untuk mencipta perbezaan yang lebih jelas antara kenderaan elektrik Volvo dengan varian yang menggunakan petrol. Walaupun nama tradisional XC40 akan kekal tidak berubah bagi versi petrol, nama baru ini akan membawa ketekalan di seluruh barisan elektrik Volvo, sejajar dengan model-model yang akan datang seperti EX30 dan EX90, yang dijadualkan untuk dikeluarkan pada separuh pertama tahun ini.</p>
<p>Walaupun terdapat perubahan nama, tidak akan ada perubahan kepada reka bentuk model EX40 dan EC40, kecuali pengenalan badging baru. EX40 akan mengekalkan reka bentuk SUV subkompak elektriknya yang bersudut, manakala EC40 akan terus menawarkan varian yang bersudut ke bawah. Selain itu, Volvo merancang untuk memperkenalkan satu pakej perisian prestasi baru yang disesuaikan untuk pasaran tertentu.</p>

<p>Penambahbaikan perisian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengalaman pemanduan dengan meningkatkan kuasa maksimum sebanyak 33hp untuk varian AWD dual-motor dan menyempurnakan pemetaan pedal penunjuk arah bagi tindak balas pedal gas yang lebih responsif. Memasukkan mod pemanduan &#8220;Prestasi&#8221; akan membuka kuasa maksimum sebanyak 435hp, peningkatan yang ketara daripada 402hp sebelum ini dalam konfigurasi dual-motor. Walaupun pakej perisian ini akan tersedia sebagai peningkatan pilihan bagi pelanggan yang membeli model-model baru tahun 2025, Volvo juga merancang untuk menawarkan pemilik sedia ada model 2024 pilihan untuk membeli dan memuat turun peningkatan tersebut melalui aplikasi Volvo.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Volvo is undergoing a strategic rebranding of its current electric vehicle lineup to better align with the naming convention of its upcoming electric-only models.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Set to take effect in 2025, this rebranding effort will see the XC40 Recharge being renamed as the EX40, while the C40 Recharge will now be known as the EC40.</p>
<p><a href="https://thepistonshow.com/galleries/image_2026-04-27_233200278/"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-141186" src="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233200278-1024x675.png" alt="Volvo’s Rebranding Strategy for Electric Mobility" width="800" height="527" srcset="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233200278-1024x675.png 1024w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233200278-300x198.png 300w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233200278-768x506.png 768w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233200278-1536x1013.png 1536w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233200278.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>This renaming initiative aims to create a clearer distinction between Volvo&#8217;s electric vehicles and their petrol-powered counterparts. While the traditional XC40 name will remain unchanged for the petrol version, the new nomenclature will bring consistency across Volvo&#8217;s electric lineup, aligning it with upcoming models such as the EX30 and EX90, which are slated for release in the first half of this year.</p>
<p>Despite the name changes, there will be no alterations to the design of the EX40 and EC40 models, except for the introduction of new badges. The EX40 will retain its characteristic squared electric subcompact SUV design, while the EC40 will continue to offer its sloped variant. Additionally, Volvo plans to introduce a new performance software package tailored for specific markets.</p>
<p><a href="https://thepistonshow.com/galleries/image_2026-04-27_233210603/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-141188" src="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233210603-1024x620.png" alt="Volvo’s Rebranding Strategy for Electric Mobility" width="800" height="484" srcset="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233210603-1024x620.png 1024w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233210603-300x182.png 300w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233210603-768x465.png 768w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233210603-1536x930.png 1536w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image_2026-04-27_233210603.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>This software upgrade aims to enhance the driving experience by increasing the peak power output by 33hp for the dual-motor AWD variant and refining the accelerator pedal mapping for more responsive throttle response. Engaging the &#8220;Performance&#8221; drive mode will unlock a peak power output of 435hp, a notable increase from the previous 402hp in the dual-motor configuration. While this software package will be available as an optional upgrade for customers purchasing new 2025 models, Volvo also plans to offer existing owners of 2024 models the option to purchase and download the upgrade via the Volvo mobile app.</p>
