Volvo is ending sales of its EX40 all-electric compact SUV in North America, with the model set to leave the lineup next year. The decision is reported alongside Volvo’s plan to continue supplying the gas-powered XC40, which is receiving a facelift.
Both outlets frame the move as part of Volvo’s broader product and electrification adjustments for the “40-Series,” which are described as being near a global refresh. Car and Driver links the cancellation to falling sales for the EX40, placing emphasis on demand trends for the electric version. The Truth About Cars adds additional context, noting that Volvo has already eliminated the similar EC40, decided not to bring the smaller EX30 EV to the North American market, and revised its electrification targets.
The coverage differs primarily in emphasis: one centers on sales performance as the immediate driver, while the other places the decision within a wider pattern of lineup changes and revised corporate plans for electrification and how results are measured by region.
