c40s incentives are higher since they are moving slower. These are for purchase, and am not sure about lease incentives.
Dealers suck here and Portland as well. My experience is that you have to go pretty far out of state before you find dealers who are willing to negotiate. Will report back what I find.

One is an ICE retrofit into an EV and one isnât (however similar they look).
The incentives you listed are lease incentives. There is no Federal Tax credit on either the C40 or XC40 Recharge on a purchase (Section 30), only as a lease incentive pass-thru under Section 45.

Correct - I should have been clearer. I was referring the the $1500 manufacturer to dealer lease incentive. No idea if that applies to the c40.
They are basically the same car. Not sure why Volvo did thisâŚ
One is an SUV and one is a HatchbackâŚlol.
Theyâre both built on the CMA platform, the C40 is lighter because it was designed to be an EV. At one time I had the exploded BOM for both and the part counts were different.
They did what most ICE manufacturers did: they retrofitted a BEV drive train into an ICE chassis (XC40 T8) then redesigned a BEV (C40). Why they continued building both is mostly customer preference, but if you follow production youâll see that common sense caught up to them. There are fewer C40s on fire sale because they built increasingly fewer. If rumors are to be believed, they wonât be building anything with a bigger battery than a mild hybrid before Q4.

Wow CarGurus on the west coast says 200+ on both.
Now do the ports and inbounds
Not sure how different the C40 is than the XC40.
Sat in both over the weekend and they seem identical except from the rear seats back.
Even the frunks seem the same where usually an ICE convert doesnât have a frunk or a really small thrown in one.
If you combine it with the $10,000 in free silver this is a 
deal.

So I am curious about this, drove both the xc40 and c40 (drive is same - rear visibility out of c40 is atrocious). The money factor is way lower on the c40. My local dealer is pushing back on discounting from MSRP the XC40 Ultimate recharge at all claiming all the incentives that Iâm stacking (loyalty, costco, 7500 ev, a-plan) is one or the other. I swear Iâve seen people posting about getting 7-10% under MSRP before those incentives on the lease though. There are 100+ XC40 recharges in my market right now (Miami). What am I missing?
Canât help with pricing but FYI, the 2024s have significantly increased range.
Also, if you do pick one up off the lot, test drive it first. Thereâs an issue with vibration in the drive train around 60-70 mph.
Picked up a C40 yesterday and yeah, the rear visibility is ridiculous.

The 2024 AWD model has 10-15% more range. The RWD models do have significant range boost at the expense of power.
I donât think youâre missing anything. The C40 is steal right now. If the range is not an issue (and really 225 vs 255 is not a big deal more most people who have access to charging), then the discounts that amount to 25%+ off MSRP, plus a very good MF (and even better with MSDs), make driving this car for 2-3 years very cheap. Thatâs why Iâm likely getting one. In the SoCal market, the dealers have tons of them, and the 2024s are coming in starting in August. They need to move them.
