R1 354 400
Powered by a large 78 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, it produces 300 kW and 660 N.m, so the dash to 100 km/h is completed in only 4,7 seconds. This makes it effectively as fast as an Audi RS Q3 Sportback.
Design is the primary selling point for the C40. The smaller glass-to-metal ratio contrasts against chunky lower body panels that hunker down on 20-inch wheels. Its unique 84-pixel headlights claim to do a better job at not dazzling oncoming drivers than regular LED matrix units. The taillights that extend up the C-pillar perform an LED animation whenever it’s locked or unlocked. Aerodynamic elements like a spoiler at the top and bottom of that raked rear glass add a touch of sportiness but are functional too as the C40 has a drag coefficient of 0,319 Cd.
Pleasing aesthetics continue inside the C40 and there’s no actual leather on the steering wheel or suede on the seats. The materials are entirely leather-free, but they look and feel convincing. The carpeting too is made from recycled material. An especially stylish detail on the dash is a trim insert which is designed from the topography of Sweden’s Abisko National Park. At night, backlighting shines through it.
