2023 Volvo Xc40 Recharge towing capacity

The 2023 Volvo Xc40 Recharge is published in 10 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 4,409 to 4,630 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (4,630 lb) sits in compact SUV / minivan territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2023 Volvo Xc40 Recharge with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

Per-trim breakdown

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.

How this year compares to 2022

The 2022 Volvo Xc40 Recharge carried a maximum tow rating of 3,500 lb. The 2023 model adds 1,130 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification. See the 2022 Volvo Xc40 Recharge page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
