Actor and host Mandira Bedi, known for her performances in movies and television, has brought home the Volvo C40 Recharge. The actor was seen with her kids taking delivery of the new electric coupe SUV recently. The Volvo C40 Recharge shares its underpinnings with the XC40 Recharge. While the latter has a boxy SUV body style, the former has a more stylish design with a receding roofline. The C40 Recharge is priced at ₹62.95 lakh (ex-showroom).
In a video now shared on social media, Bedi posed with her children alongside the Volvo, and called the “safest car on the road.” Volvo cars are known for their safety and the e-SUVs are no different from the manufacturer. The C40 Recharge comes equipped with the full ADAS suite, multiple airbags, a 360-degree camera, and more.
