Small size, big ambitions for Volvo’s new mini electric SUV, the Sino-Swedish model aiming for Car of the Year title.
The new Volvo EX30 is the brand’s first compact luxury SUV. It expands a 100% electric range that already includes four models. Its pricing strategy is smart, because at 37,500 euros in France, it offers loyal customers an all-electric SUV at a price close to that of a thermal engine SUV of similar size. There remains some uncertainty about the model’s eligibility for the Ecological Bonus beyond December 15, but Volvo assures that it has taken the necessary steps.
EX30 for cities and EX30 for roads
The EX30 offers three powertrains and two types of batteries. For those who spend most of their time in the city or tend to travel shorter distances, Volvo offers a Single version, single motor with a standard lithium iron phosphate battery, more economical and resource-efficient in production.
The Extended Range Single version with a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt NMC battery provides an extended range of up to 480 km WLTP between charges.
Finally, if performance is the priority, the Twin Performance version combines the NMC battery with a second electric motor. This all-wheel-drive version offers a power of 315 kW (428 hp) and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds. It is simply Volvo’s most rapid acceleration ever. A magic trick made possible by its electric mechanics with instant torque available.
Volvo tailors your driving experience
No revolutionary interior with a stripped-down cabin and exemplary finishes. An inviting cockpit and a digital screen of good size. It’s classic, understated… very Swedish and true to what you expect from a Volvo. For those resistant to parking, the new Park Pilot Assist will identify available parking spaces around the car. Then, once the desired space is selected via the new 3D user interface, the system will control the accelerator, brake, and steering. While the driver supervises the parking maneuver, the display will show the distance to objects such as cars, walls, and barriers.
Starting next year, the Volvo EX30 will also be available in its small adventurer version Cross Country. It will feature higher ground clearance and 19-inch black wheels that should suit it well.
