2026 Volvo EX40 Ultra: Danvers Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 EX40 Ultra
The EX40 Ultra starts at $60,750 MSRP, excluding the $1,395 destination charge, and comes exclusively with the Twin Motor all-wheel-drive powertrain: 300 kW (402 horsepower), 494 lb-ft of torque, and a 4.6-second run to 60 mph. New for 2026, the Ultra is marketed as the "EX40 Black Edition Ultra" — high-gloss black exterior trim and 20-inch black alloy wheels come standard, not as an optional add-on. EPA range is estimated at 260 miles combined (103 city / 85 highway / 94 combined MPGe) on the shared 82.0 kWh battery. It's on the lot now at Volvo Cars Danvers, 24 Commonwealth Avenue, off Route 128 near the Liberty Tree Mall.
Black Edition, standard — not a checkbox
The headline change for 2026 is that the Ultra trim now ships as what Volvo calls the "EX40 Black Edition Ultra." That's not an optional appearance package a buyer adds at the configurator; it's baked into the trim itself. High-gloss black exterior trim details, 20-inch black alloy wheels, and black-out styling cues inside and out come with every Ultra, full stop. Buyers who want that look without hunting for a specific build code get it automatically the moment they select Ultra; buyers who'd prefer the brighter trim look elsewhere in the lineup, since Black Edition isn't something Ultra can be ordered without.
One powertrain, no decision to make
Unlike the Plus, the Ultra doesn't offer a choice of Single Motor or Twin Motor — every Ultra is Twin Motor, all-wheel drive, 402 horsepower, 494 lb-ft, and a 4.6-second sprint to 60. That simplifies the buying conversation considerably: anyone cross-shopping trims on power and grip alone lands on Ultra by default, while anyone chasing maximum range should look at the Single Motor Plus instead, since the Ultra's 260-mile EPA estimate is the shorter of the two range figures in the EX40 range. The tradeoff is the same one Twin Motor buyers accept at any trim — quicker, more capable in bad weather, shorter range between charges.
What else moves up on Ultra
Ultra builds on everything standard at Plus — panoramic roof, 360-degree camera, Google built-in, wired Apple CarPlay, keyless entry, power tailgate — and adds the Black Edition treatment plus the larger 20-inch wheel package as the visual signature. The Twin Motor powertrain that's optional on Plus is simply the only powertrain here, which means every Ultra buyer gets the quicker acceleration and all-wheel traction without having to configure for it. Charging figures carry over unchanged from the rest of the lineup: 10-80% DC fast charge in as little as 28 minutes, roughly 8 hours on a Level 2 home charger, and standard NACS compatibility with the Tesla Supercharger network alongside public CCS charging.
What Volvo Cars Danvers owners say
Volvo Cars Danvers holds a 4.4-star average across more than 460 Google reviews. Buyers moving up to a higher, more feature-loaded Volvo trim describe a team that walks through equipment differences carefully rather than pushing a sale: "Just got my second Volvo XC40. Boris, Christopher and the entire team were awesome," wrote Rosemary G. in a recent review. Another buyer, describing a same-day purchase, put it simply: "Just recently purchased a Volvo xc90 from [Volvo Cars Danvers]. My experience from start to finish was fantastic. Walked in thinking we would just be able to test drive it and have to come back to iron out the details but Boris made it all happen the same day," wrote Kristen P. That pace and attention to detail is worth expecting on a trim like the Ultra, where the Black Edition styling and the all-wheel-drive powertrain are worth seeing and driving together before signing.
Frequently asked questions
Is Black Edition an option on the EX40 Ultra?
No — it's standard equipment bundled into the Ultra trim itself, marketed together as the "EX40 Black Edition Ultra." There's no way to order an Ultra without it, and no way to add it to a Plus.
Can I get Single Motor range on the Ultra?
No. The Ultra is Twin Motor all-wheel drive exclusively, with a 260-mile EPA range estimate. A buyer who wants the Single Motor's longer 296-mile range needs to choose the Plus trim instead.
How much more is the Ultra than the Plus?
Comparing like for like on the Twin Motor powertrain, Ultra starts $3,850 above Twin Motor Plus ($60,750 versus $56,900 MSRP), which buys the Black Edition styling package, the 20-inch wheel upgrade, and whatever additional interior trim comes with the Ultra equipment level.
What's the 0-60 time on the EX40 Ultra?
4.6 seconds, the same figure as any Twin Motor EX40 regardless of trim, since horsepower and acceleration are set by the powertrain rather than the trim level.
Where can I test drive the Ultra in Danvers?
Volvo Cars Danvers's new inventory stocks the Ultra at 24 Commonwealth Avenue; call ahead to confirm a specific color and wheel finish are on the lot.
