Small in size. Large for life. Volvo Cars confirms pricing for the all-new EX30 100% electric SUV. Volvo has launched the new EX30, its smallest ever electric SUV which boasts the smallest carbon footprint of any Volvo produced to date.

EX30 combines the best elements of Volvo’s distinctive Scandinavian ‘living room’ design with industry leading safety features, and the latest Apple CarPlay and voice-activated Google functionalities as standard.

In keeping with Volvo’s commitment to produce electric only cars by 2030, EX30 is 100% electric. The smooth, powerful electric powertrain of the Volvo EX30 is at the heart of the driving experience. A high-voltage 400V lithium-ion battery makes the Volvo EX30 optimised for range, comfort, safety, and versatility. Three locally available variants will carry the 69kWh battery option. The single motor Extended range has 200kW of power and 343Nm of torque whereas the twin motor Performance with electric
motors both in front and the rear having a maximum output of 315kW of power and 543Nm of torque. The single motor variant has an estimated range of up to 480 kilometres with the twin motor being up to 460 kilometres of range (global WLTP figures). Depending on the DC peak charging power, both the
Single Motor Extended Range and the Twin Motor Performance variants are capable of charging from 10% to 80% in approximately thirty minutes.

As the most sustainable Volvo model ever produced, the leather-free interior of EX30 incorporates recycled and renewable materials such as New Zealand wool, and denim upholstery created from the waste fibres of the denim recycling process.

These new materials add creative textures, colour and personality to the generous cabin which features a minimalist dashboard equipped with a 12.3-inch tablet screen in the centre.

Five colour options – Five distinctive exterior colours make it easy to create a personal Volvo EX30.
Contrasting Onyx Black metallic roof perfectly matches the high-gloss black exterior details and adds extra character to the car’s contemporary looks.

Thor’s Hammer headlights – Volvo’s distinctive ‘Thor’s Hammer’ signature headlight has been updated in
EX30 with the addition of a segmented design, extra width, and a narrower look.

Soundbar speaker as standard – Volvo EX30 introduces the soundbar speaker concept as standard. The
soundbar elegantly integrates tweeters, mid-range speakers and a woofer outlet in a stylish audio unit covering the full width of the dashboard in front of the occupants. Bringing home audio design into the car, the soundbar makes sound more driver focused than ever and is an important part of the car’s
modern interior design impression. This speaker concept also frees up valuable space in the doors while reducing weight and material resources.

New driver display just like a smartphone – EX30 features a new 12.3-inch modern tablet display with Google built-in apps and services that are as intuitive to use as a smartphone.

are designed to fulfill the same comfort, ergonomic and safety requirements in larger cars.

Integrated front seats head rests enhance the sporty character of the EX30.
The front seat backsides are upholstered in the same material as the seats and the slim backside design contributes to the increased legroom for the rear passengers.

Enhanced interior air quality – A comfortable cabin climate with clean air is an essential part of well-being
inside the EX30.That’s why an efficient cabin filter comes standard, and an available two-zone climate system can actively help keep hazardous gases outside the cabin. The cabin air can be monitored via the Volvo EX30 app and can be even cleaned before entering the cabin.

Smart interior storage – The Volvo EX30 is packed with small touches which aim to make life easier for
all its occupants. There is a convenient multi-storage area at the floor, and a sliding unit in the tunnel console between the front seats that serves as a cupholder as well as a storage box. And with the introduction of the soundbar, the door pockets can be fully utilised for storage.
