Volvo Car USA has officially announced the pricing for its groundbreaking all-electric compact SUV, the Volvo EX30, setting a new benchmark for accessible premium electric vehicles. Launched globally in Milan, Italy, earlier this year, the EX30 expands Volvo’s electric lineup to an impressive four models, signaling the brand’s commitment to a fully electric future.
The Volvo EX30 enters the market with a compelling starting MSRP of just $34,950, positioning it as a premium, fully electric SUV at a price point comparable to many internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. This strategic pricing democratizes access to premium EV technology, making sustainable driving more attainable for a wider audience.
Scandinavian Design, Concentrated Essence
Volvo’s design team describes the EX30 as “an espresso shot of Volvo,” encapsulating the essence of Scandinavian design in a compact and dynamic form. This electric SUV embodies minimalist elegance and functionality, core tenets of Volvo’s design philosophy.
Exterior customization is offered through a palette of five distinct colors – Moss Yellow, Cloud Blue, Vapour Grey, Crystal White, and Onyx Black. These options range from vibrant and expressive to understated and sophisticated, allowing drivers to personalize their EX30 to reflect their individual style.
Stepping inside the EX30 reveals a sanctuary of modern Scandinavian luxury. The interior prioritizes sustainable and innovative materials, featuring leather-free upholstery crafted from natural and recycled sources. Four thoughtfully curated interior expressions – Mist, Pine, Indigo, and Breeze – offer unique ambiences, further enhanced by five ambient light themes inspired by Swedish landscapes. This combination allows for a highly personalized and serene driving experience.
Feature-Rich and Safety-Focused
Staying true to Volvo’s legacy, the EX30 is engineered with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies. Equipped with an array of radars, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors, the EX30 is designed to protect occupants and other road users. This commitment to safety is built upon decades of real-world accident research and Volvo’s dedication to pioneering automotive safety.
The Volvo EX30 also represents a significant stride in environmental responsibility. Designed to have the lowest carbon footprint of any Volvo car to date*, it aligns with the company’s ambitious goals of becoming a fully electric car manufacturer by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2040. This makes the EX30 a compelling choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
Every Volvo EX30 comes standard with Google built-in, seamlessly integrating Google Maps and Google Assistant for intuitive navigation and voice control. Wireless Apple CarPlay is also standard, ensuring broad smartphone compatibility. Furthermore, a suite of advanced safety features including Driver Alert System, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Door Opening Alert, and Front & Rear Collision Mitigation are included as standard, reinforcing Volvo’s commitment to safety and technology.
Moving up to the Plus trim level unlocks premium features such as Harman Kardon Premium Sound for an immersive audio experience, a striking dual-tone panoramic roof in Onyx Black, and stylish 19-inch wheels.
The top-tier Ultra trim elevates the EX30 experience further with the next generation of Pilot Assist featuring Lane Change Assistance, a 360-degree camera with 3D View for enhanced parking and maneuvering, and Park Pilot Assist for automated parking assistance.
