In case you didn’t know, Volvo is still around in the Philippines, and the Swedish luxury carmaker is about to launch two electric vehicles: the C40 Recharge Twin and the XC40 Recharge Twin.

These two share the same powertrain, with a 183kW motor at the rear and a 117kW motor at the front. The total output is 300kW and 660Nm, and this is delivered via an all-wheel drive system. Powering the EVs is an 82kWh battery pack for a range of up to 537km for the XC40 Recharge Twin, and 549km for the C40 Recharge Twin.

Although both models are built on a similar platform, the C40 features a fastback design while the XC40 is shaped more like a conventional crossover. Both roll on 19-inch wheels, and in line with their Nordic heritage, the headlights are shaped like Thor’s hammer.
