But, that is set to change with the introduction of the new Volvo EX30 which will be introduced beneath the current models. Volvo is now accepting orders for preorders of the EX30 and is anticipated to arrive on the market in summer 2024, as a model year 2025 vehicle.
Its 2023 Volvo EX30 might seem like just a price-point as an entry point to the company’s range of EVs and that’s certainly the case. However, it’s more than that, since the EX30 is said to be quicker than the more costly Recharge sibling models, and is almost as good as their range. The 2025 Volvo EX30 is at a special spot in the lineup which is charged with the responsibility of welcoming and satisfying the people who are just beginning their journey.

As per the trend of the moment according to the zeitgeist, the 2025 Volvo EX30 will be available in dual and single-motor versions. A 64-kWh battery will power both versions, which although it is significantly less than the smaller 79-kWh model that is in the Volvo XC40 Recharge, still promises better performance and impressive range numbers. The base version is driven by a rear-axle mounted 268-hp electric motor. The top-of-the-line Dual Motor Performance AWD trim boasts a power output that is 428 horsepower.
As we mentioned previously as of 2025 Volvo EX30 is expected to be positioned behind the tiniest electric vehicles that are currently available from Volvo in terms of dimensions and cost. Volvo’s parent company, China-based Geely joined forces with Mercedes-Benz to create a Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform for the Volvo EX30. The modular platform is also the basis for several forthcoming Polestar electric vehicles as well as the Lotus Eletre hyper-SUV.

If you value driving range over performance, then the Single Motor Extended Range variant of the 2025 Volvo EX30 is the one to go with. It has a maximum distance of 275 miles, which is comparable to the pricier Tesla Model Y. We estimate that the dual motor versions of the EX30 have a range of 250 miles of range since they’re powered by the 64-kWh NMC battery pack. The range figures are adequate and impressive considering the class and price range that is the EX30.
With power comes the need to speed up charging times and Volvo has addressed the issue too. The maximum capacity for charging for the 2025 Volvo EX30 ranges between 134 milliwatts in the single-motor standard version, and up to 53 kW in the extended-range twin-motor model.

Additionally, if the route towards a station for charging has been created in the navigation system it will be able to charge the EX 30 starts pre-conditioning its battery to a temperature needed for efficient charging.
Interior
Its 2025 Volvo EX30 flaunts a simplistic interior with a variety of recycled materials as well as a minimalist, clean cabin layout. The fishing nets, along with other materials that are discarded were repurposed as mats made of textiles in this Volvo’s cabin, while jettisoned PVC windows and shutters made of roller are used as decorative accents. To make a greener footprint the upholstery options on EX 30 have been sourced from recycling. They are made from materials derived from the denim recycling method, recycled polyester, and many more.
Incorporating a Tesla model, a central touchscreen was used to serve as the control panels, speedometer, and infotainment panel in the 2020 Volvo EX30. The vertically oriented 12.3-inch tablet-like touchscreen has a user-friendly Google interface that includes Google Maps for navigation. Google Assistant is another in-built feature that lets you easily voice-controlled functions such as taking phone calls, sending text messages, and swiftly searching the internet. To ensure that all these functions run smoothly Volvo EX30 will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon. Volvo EX30 will come powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon cockpit system that is equipped with the fastest 5G mobile networks.
The unique infotainment system in the 2025 Volvo EX30 is further augmented and enhanced by Harman Kardon’s premium audio system. Volvo is integrating an integrated soundbar that is positioned at the bottom of the instrument panel in the EX30 instead of putting different units inside the cabin’s front. With a 1,040W amplifier as well as nine speakers, Volvo promises that this configuration will give you an immersive audio experience. Additionally, every element of the system can be adjusted to suit the preference of the user using the available sound profiles, which include Select Dynamic, Soft, and Voice.
