What is the Volvo EX30 at 32,500 euros in the entry-level version worth?

Comment
Volvo EX 30

Volvo has launched its configurator for the Volvo EX 30, giving us the opportunity to see how the entry-level EX 30 performs. 

Built with the lowest carbon footprint of any vehicle ever designed, the Swedish brand made a bold move with its new model the EX 30. The model is available in three finishes: Start, Plus, and Ultra. We compared the new Volvo SUV to the Tesla Model Y, which is also an SUV from the American company. 

A standard version with minimal range 

The Volvo EX 30 is, of course, an all-electric vehicle just like the Tesla Model Y. Volvo’s offering is slightly below in terms of performance compared to the Tesla, with a shorter range, as well as a lower top speed and power. 

To be clearer, here is a table listing all the information on consumption and power for both vehicles.

An Attractive Price 

Yes, the model is the lowest in the range, but its price is very attractive. €37,500 without the ecological bonus, which reduces the price to €32,500 after the rebate. In comparison, the starting price of a Tesla Model Y is €45,990 without the bonus and €40,990 with it, which is an €8,000 difference.

Price before bonus €37,500 €45,990
Price after bonus €32,500€40,990

Ultimately, for €8,000 less than the Tesla Model Y, the Volvo offers good value for money, despite the slightly lower range by 100 km compared to its American counterpart.
