- Has a motor in the front and in the back, for a total of 408 bhp, and accelerates from 0 to 100 in 4.7 seconds.

- The specific version is around 60,000 Euros, the cheapest version starts around 50,000 Euros.
- The C40’s exterior is smaller than expected; its length is 4.44 m and its width 1.87m, so parking has to be considered.
- The exterior rearview mirrors are large and give good visibility, and door handles are regular door handles.
