Volvo EX30 Electric

Volvo is introducing the EX30 SUV, which has a cutting-edge base and stylish design. The Volvo Car EX30 is the fastest-accelerating car to date, with 268 horsepower in rear-wheel drive and 422 horsepower in all-wheel drive. It is available in single- and dual-motor variants. A single charge of the 64.0 kWh battery pack allows for up to 275 kilometers of travel. The EX30 has cozy bucket seats, LED lighting, and a sustainable interior made of recyclable materials from sources that are carbon neutral. In the brand hierarchy, the EX30 takes the place of the C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge, establishing a new entry-level position.

Pricing

With a single motor, the mid-range Plus trim of the EX30 has a somewhat more efficient 268 horsepower configuration than the 422 dual-motor variant. Despite its slower pace, it still has attractive amenities such as a Harman/Kardon music system, 19-inch alloys, and a panoramic sunroof.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance

The debut of Volvo’s new EX30 Volvo Electric car series has been revealed. With its 268-hp electric motor, the Single Motor Extended Range variant should reach 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. With 400 pound-feet of torque and 422 horsepower, the Dual Motor Performance variant can accelerate to 60 mph in only 3.4 seconds. There is also a Single Motor variant with rear-wheel drive available. On 19-inch wheels, both versions have a strong ride, but on winding roads, the EX30’s chassis seems more balanced and nimble. Later on, a Cross Country model with additional ground clearance and a tough appearance may be offered.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life

Every EX30 model has a 64.0-kWh battery pack, which according to Volvo is big enough to give rear-wheel drive vehicles up to 275 miles of travel between charges. The anticipated range of all-wheel-drive vehicles is 265 miles between charges, and both can be charged at a maximum charging rate of 153 kW using a DC fast-charging connection. With this connection, Volvo claims the power source is capable of being charged from 10 to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Recycled materials are used in the EX30’s interior to reduce its environmental impact. For example, one upholstery option makes use of leftovers from the denim recycling process; additional alternatives include an inside sewed from flax and a recycled polyester wool substitute. With a few modern touches, the interior design is very simple, keeping with Volvo’s Scandinavian aesthetic. For instance, the glovebox on the EX30 has been moved to the middle of the dashboard, beneath the infotainment screen, to facilitate driver access. In order to save room, the cupholders on the SUV fold up when not in use.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The EX30 will have a single vertically oriented display panel that functions as both a gauge display and an infotainment system, taking a cue from Tesla Cars. The 12.3-inch screen has wireless Apple CarPlay and Google Maps for navigation, utilizing an enhanced version of Volvo’s Google-based interface. Volvo decided against placing separate speakers throughout the EX30 and instead installed a soundbar across the base of the dashboard, making the stereo system special.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The EX30 will also include a standard package of driver-assistance systems to help prevent collisions, just like previous Volvo vehicles. Visit the websites of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for further details on the EX30’s crash test results. Important safety components probably consist of:

  • Typical automatic emergency braking equipped with sensors for cyclists and pedestrians
  • Normal lane-departure alert with assistance for lane-keeping
  • Normal adaptive cruise control equipped with lane-centering functionality

With all new models, Volvo provides a comprehensive warranty package that includes a free maintenance plan for three years or 36,000 miles.

  • A four-year or fifty-thousand-mile limited warranty is offered.
  • A 4-year or 50,000-mile powertrain warranty is offered.
  • The warranty on battery components is for 100,000 miles or eight years.
