Published May 1, 2025 Views : 07 min readBy Tushar KamathFollow usThe Volvo C40 Recharge delivers a very different kind of luxury. One that isn’t about superlatives but functional flash.

India is no stranger to big and tall SUVs. Going right back to the turn of the century, we’ve had models like the Tata Safari and Mahindra Scorpio on our roads in large numbers.

In a way, that’s also why every car today seems like a duplication of the same core concepts.

Luxury is often interpreted as its weight in tech and glamourous features that make for great Instagram reels. That, however, is a surface level interpretation. In all honesty, luxury lies in the intangibles - from the way people perceive you based on the badge of what you drive to the noise insulation delivered by what you drive, so there are fewer things for you to bother perceiving. But First, Who Are You?
