If you're in the market for a small yet robust fully electric SUV, the all-new Volvo EX30 has an attractive starting price of just $53,700 and is raising eyebrows for all the right reasons. Designed with safety, sustainability, and Scandinavian flair, this is one SUV that delivers big on Volvo's brand promises in a compact package. But what truly sets it apart? Here are three major things that potential buyers should definitely know.
- Exceptional Performance and Versatility in Powertrain Options
The Volvo EX30 offers two powertrain options that cater to different needs. If maximizing range is your priority, the Single Motor Extended Range variant comes with an NMC extended-range battery that provides an estimated range of 442 km between charges. On the other hand, if you're more performance-oriented, the Twin Motor Performance variant offers an impressive 422 horsepower and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. This makes it the fastest-accelerating Volvo car ever. This sort of flexibility allows you to pick a model that best suits your driving habits and requirements.
- Cutting-Edge Safety and Convenience Features
Safety has always been a cornerstone for Volvo, and the EX30 is no exception. The small SUV comes packed with advanced safety features that are designed to protect you and others in a variety of scenarios. For instance, it offers a special safety feature for bikes that helps prevent ‘dooring’ accidents. Alongside this, the car's new generation of Park Pilot Assist can handle all types of parking spaces and essentially parks the car for you while you supervise. With Google built into its infotainment system, the EX30 aims to make your life more convenient and enjoyable.
- Sustainability and Scandinavian Design
The EX30 is designed with sustainability in mind, boasting the lowest carbon footprint of any Volvo car to date. It has a very considerate use of materials and has managed to keep its total carbon footprint over 124,274 miles of driving to below 30 tons. In addition to its eco-friendly aspects, the SUV carries the hallmarks of Scandinavian design—offering four distinct interior rooms and five different ambient lighting themes inspired by Scandinavian landscapes.
In summary, the Volvo EX30 seems like a well-rounded package that offers flexibility in performance, prioritizes safety, and doesn’t compromise on sustainability or design. Whether you’re zooming through the city or planning a weekend getaway, this small yet mighty SUV seems equipped to handle it all.
