Explore EX30 features

A free-standing 12.3-inch tablet serves as your combined driver and centre display. It puts driver information and your favourite controls at a glance in one convenient location.

The touchscreen is engineered to deliver high-definition visuals with minimal glare and reflections. And it’s highly responsive. Sensors and an infrared film help make each command instantaneous.

The centre display's welcome view makes it simple to set your driving preferences. You can activate driver support features, select an ambience theme and play your favourite playlist.

Fixed widgets put navigation, media and your phone a tap away. Commands for your most-used functions can appear at the bottom of the display, but these shortcuts only appear when features are available. Want the 360° camera view? You'll have to wait until your speed is low enough for it to function.

Get driver information how you want it with different driver views. Calm sweeps away everything but the essentials, like speed, battery level and your expected range. Surround shows you the same information, plus active driving support features like Pilot Assist and a real-time look at the vehicles in front of you.

Choose your preferred view on the centre display or add it to the customisable steering wheel button for quick toggling.

Powering the next-generation infotainment system in the EX30 is software developed by our in-house engineering experts and Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. It’s state-of-the-art computing power that makes core functions fast, responsive and precise.

An advanced filter helps keep incoming air clear of dust, pollen and harmful PM2.5 particles. An air quality sensor automatically shuts the intakes and recirculates cabin air when it detects high levels of hazardous gases outside.

Pre-clean the cabin air and access information on interior air quality before entering the car using the Volvo EX30 app.

Our standard one-zone climate system lets you choose your preferred cabin temperature. The car optimises fan speed and air distribution. You can still make manual adjustments, of course.

Opt for the two-zone climate system to allow the driver and front-seat passenger to choose their own temperature settings. The car will adjust and maintain both accordingly.

Schedule your departure using the Volvo EX30 app to warm or cool the cabin, steering wheel and seats before you hop in.

The EX30 is designed to help you avoid or mitigate collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists any time, day or night. It can send audio and visual alerts and brake pulse warnings when a collision risk is detected.

If a collision is imminent or should you turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle at an intersection, the car can brake automatically. In some situations, it can even steer the car to avoid or mitigate a collision.

Your car can detect distracted and drowsy drivers. An infrared sensor on the steering column tracks the driver's eye and head movements. It tracks how fast or slow they blink and how often. A front-facing camera watches the road to detect erratic driving. And another sensor monitors the steering wheel.

When this data is analysed together, and a distracted or drowsy driver is detected, the car can drop the driver messages to say it's time to focus or take a break.

The EX30 uses rear radars to detect cyclists and scooters approaching from behind, sounding an alert if someone in the car goes to open a door. The alert has two levels. First, you’ll hear a warning on the centre display and a steady Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) light. When a collision risk is imminent, the alert escalates to a warning sound, and the BLIS light will flash.

Pilot Assist helps you in small ways that can make a big difference.

Ready to change lanes? Let your car make the move. There must be enough time and space to complete the lane change, and you should maintain your grip on the steering wheel. But this new feature is designed to reduce the pressure of lane changes.

Your car can help make passing and driving alongside large vehicles less unpleasant. It does it by increasing and maintaining the distance between the side of your car and the other vehicle. And when there are trucks on both sides, the car will steer to a centre point between them.

Pilot Assist adapts your speed to maintain the distance between you and the vehicle directly in front of you. This can be a huge help in stop-and-go traffic especially. Your car can brake to a complete standstill if the car in front stops. But if that car stops only briefly, your car will automatically resume driving.

These are only some of the ways Pilot Assist delivers advanced driver support. But you must remain attentive and engaged. Pilot Assist can issue prompts to steer and escalate warnings if it detects an unresponsive driver. No response can see the car bring itself to a complete stop.

The EX30 can steer, accelerate and brake to park itself. And yes, it can even parallel park. Just keep a sharp eye on what’s going on around you and take over if something unexpected happens.

The car will find good parking spots, too. At speeds up to 22 km/h, it can locate spaces and show your options on the centre display. Pick one, and the car will do the rest.

Cameras on all sides give you a high-resolution 360° bird's-eye view of your car. This view automatically pops up on the centre display when you go into reverse gear or approach an obstacle at low speed.

Upgrade to get a split-screen 360° and 180° view. A 360° camera with 3D view is also available for enhanced parking assistance.

A 20 per cent charge can trigger a charging reminder to help you top up on time. With the reminder, your car offers to list nearby public charging stations on your centre display. Select a station and enjoy turn-by-turn navigation plus an estimated time of arrival and expected charge level on arrival.

Select a charging station as your destination, and your car will pre-condition the battery, pre-heating or pre-cooling it to the optimal temperature for charging. That can make a big difference to how rapidly and efficiently the battery charges when you arrive.

Charge your EX30 from 10 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes at fast public charging stations. A Volvo Cars wallbox makes rapid charging at home faster, too. Compared to a regular household socket, it can charge your EX30 up to five times faster. You can start and stop charging, schedule charging, and monitor progress on the wallbox and your smartphone.
