Volvo C40 Recharge E80

The driving experience was top-notch. This car is a paradise for driving lovers. Looks are stunning and can attract all other travelers on the road. Best class and comfort in this segment.

This car is indirectly promoting Innova hycross

Not going to sell at this price point, very wrong approach to the Indian Market. Indeed this makes customers feel more value for money now. People would pay 25+L and upgrade to Velfire Or Merc Vclass This is going the Jimny way down
