The forthcoming 2025 Volvo EX30 slots into Volvo’s electric lineup right below the C40 Recharge and the XC40 Recharge. As a smaller electric SUV, the EX30 serves as the entry-level vehicle for the brand, but its fit, finish, and performance are just as praise-worthy as its larger counterparts. The EX30’s electric powertrain options provide instant torque and faster acceleration in Volvo history. The refined cabin is filled with tech and recycled materials that take the environmentally friendly nature of the SUV beyond just sustainable energy.
The five-seater EX30’s interior champions environmental sustainability by extensively utilizing recycled materials, including unique upholstery options derived from denim recycling, materials like flax, and an eco-friendly wool substitute made from recycled polyester, further emphasizing its green ethos. Reflecting Volvo’s Scandinavian design philosophy, the EX30 maintains its minimalist design approach yet introduces innovative elements like a centrally located glove box beneath the infotainment screen for enhanced driver accessibility. To maximize space, the SUV incorporates cleverly designed cup holders that fold up when not in use, showcasing the vehicle’s commitment to both functionality and style.
The EX30 has a modern and sleek design that embodies the brand’s Scandinavian roots. Smooth, flowing lines create a visually appealing surface, and its compact proportions and raised stance convey a sense of agility and adventure. The signature “Thor’s Hammer” headlights, now rendered in a digital fashion with individual rectangular daytime running lights, add a touch of futuristic flair to the front fascia. At the same time, the closed-off grille emphasizes the vehicle’s electric powertrain. The rear end is characterized by a clean and uncluttered aesthetic, with wraparound tail lights that extend across the width of the tailgate, framing the Volvo nameplate. The EX30 is available in five exterior colors:
The 2025 Volvo EX30 has two powertrain setups. The base powertrain is a single motor mounted on the rear axle that produces 268 horsepower and 253 pounds-feet of torque. Bump up to the dual motor powertrain for an all-wheel drive experience, 400 l.-ft. of torque, and 422 horsepower. The dual motor setup shoots the EX30 from zero to 60 in only 3.4 seconds. Both powertrains are connected to a 64.0-kWh battery pack that, according to the brand, is good for 275 miles of range on the single motor setup and 265 for all-wheel drive models.
The EX30 has two load compartments. Behind the rear seat is 11.2 cubic feet of space, including 2.2 cubic feet of hidden storage. A small frunk provides a convenient storage location for the charging cable and small items such as washer fluid.
The EX30 will feature a single, vertically oriented display screen, actively serving dual roles as both the infotainment and gauge display. A 12.3-inch screen in the EX30 utilizes an updated version of Volvo’s Google-based interface, offering Google Maps for navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay integration. Volvo has uniquely designed the EX30’s stereo system by installing a soundbar across the dashboard’s base, a departure from the traditional approach of placing individual speakers throughout the vehicle. This innovative soundbar approach in the EX30 reflects Volvo’s commitment to integrating advanced audio technology within a streamlined interior design.
