    Volvo EX30

    The Volvo EX30 is an all-electric SUV that is currently the smallest and quickest vehicle in the company’s catalogue.

    Volvo revealed the punchy little model in 2023, with its forward-thinking design, hi-tech features and competitive pricing making it one of the most compelling entries into the increasingly competitive electric small-SUV segment.

    The line-up currently starts at $59,990 for the EX30 Single Motor Extend Range Plus and ranges through to $71,290 for the range-topping EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra.

    Volvo EX30 Interior

    The EX30’s interior is strictly a leather-free zone, the cabin swathed in recycled and renewable materials. You can choose from four interior themes, or 'rooms' as Volvo refers to them and it feels cool, calm and collected inside with soft tones dominating and rounded forms defining the multi-layered dash, seats and doors.

    Volvo EX30 Engine

    As its name implies, the EX30 Single-Motor Extended Range is powered by a rear-mounted single permanent magnet synchronous motor sending 200kW/343Nm to the rear wheels via a single-speed reduction auto transmission. And, yes, the Twin Motor Performance version adds a motor to the front axle for combined outputs of 315kW/543Nm going to all four wheels. Juice is provided by a 400V 69kWh lithium-ion battery.

    Volvo EX30 Seats

    The EX30 is a five-seater. The front seats are comfy and supportive, even after lengthy stints on the road. Move to the rear, however, and the limitations of the car’s overall footprint are apparent. The back seat will technically accommodate three adults but, despite the flat rear floor, you wouldn’t slot your worst enemy into the centre position on anything other than a super-short, emergency trip.
