Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 EX40.
The 2025 Volvo EX40 is a fully electric compact SUV built on Volvo's CMA platform, representing the brand's continued expansion into the premium EV segment with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain delivering substantial output, and it carries forward the model's reputation for solid reliability into a model year marked by only two owner complaints—centered on steering and service brakes issues—alongside three recalls that place it squarely within the normal range for the nameplate's recent history, suggesting that while minor concerns persist, the overall ownership experience remains consistent with the model's established track record.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2025 Volvo EX40 dominate in one area — the steering,service brakes, 1 of 2 reports (50%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 3 recall campaigns target the steering,service brakes, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the steering,service brakes pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
