Small in size. Large for life. Volvo launches EX30 100% electric SUV in Australia

Volvo has launched the new EX30, its smallest ever electric SUV which boasts the smallest carbon footprint of any Volvo produced to date.

EX30 combines the best elements of Volvo’s distinctive Scandinavian ‘living room’ design with industry leading safety features, and the latest Apple CarPlay and voice-activated Google functionalities as standard.

In keeping with Volvo’s commitment to produce electric only cars by 2030, EX30 is 100% electric. The smooth, powerful electric powertrain of the Volvo EX30 is at the heart of the driving experience.

A high-voltage 400V lithium-ion battery makes the Volvo EX30 optimised for range, comfort, safety, and versatility. Three locally available variants will carry the 69kWh battery option. The single motor Extended range has 200kW of power and 343Nm of torque whereas the twin motor Performance with electric motors both on front and the rear having a maximum output of 315kW of power and 543Nm of torque. The single motor variant has an estimated range of up to 480 kilometres with twin motor being up to 460 kilometres of range (global WLTP figures). Depending on the DC peak charging power, both the Single Motor Extended Range and the Twin Motor Performance variants are capable of charging from 10% to 80% in approximately thirty minutes.

As the most sustainable Volvo model ever produced, the leather-free interior of EX30 incorporates recycled and renewable materials such as flax, wool and denim upholstery created from the waste fibres of the denim recycling process.

These new materials add creative textures, colour and personality to the generous cabin which features a minimalist dashboard equipped with a 12.3- inch tablet screen in the centre.

“We are proud to introduce the EX30 to Australia which embodies Volvo’s distinctive Scandinavian design values, advanced safety, legendary comfort and cutting-edge tech in a smaller format,” said Stephen Connor, Managing Director of Volvo Car Australia.

“With the EX30 we enter a new, growing segment – the small, fully electric luxury SUV. The EX30 offers a strong value proposition to a new audience in the Australian car market which is increasingly embracing EVs.”

“The EX30 will further drive our accelerated Australian strategy of being an all- electric car company by 2026.”
