Volvo EX30 model year 2026 - Overview
The Volvo EX30 is our smallest SUV to date, aiming to make your life more convenient, more relaxing and more enjoyable inside the car through cutting-edge tech and considerate Scandinavian interior design. You can choose from four distinct interior rooms, each with their own expression, while there are smart storage options throughout the cabin. Together with a contextual single-screen UX, with Google built-in and running the latest version of our infotainment system, these features all reflect the hallmarks of true Volvo design.
As if that wasn’t enough, the Volvo EX30 also comes with a choice of five different ambient lighting themes. Each is inspired by a different Scandinavian landscape and subtly shifting in colour, adding a sense of calm to the interior. Whether you prefer the warm sunlight falling through the leaves of a Scandinavian Forest, a sunset on the Swedish west coast, the world-famous northern lights, the golden summer skies of Swedish midsummer or the bright mood of an urban sunset, your EX30 will be filled with the colours of your choice. For extra immersion, you can pair each lighting theme with an ambient soundscape.
Connectivity and infotainment
The Volvo EX30 comes equipped with the new Volvo Car UX. It’s designed to be a safe and enjoyable way to interact with your car’s central infotainment screen, more focused and personalised than its predecessor, which is further enhanced through Google Automotive Services.
The centrepiece of Google Automotive Services is the access to Google apps and services*, which offer hands-free help with Google Assistant, best-in-class navigation through Google Maps and a broad offer of native in-car apps via Google Play. This is elevated through access to unlimited mobile data (for in-car apps and vehicle communication) for 4 years.
The EX30 also includes the next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, making our existing Google Android Auto-based infotainment system much faster and much more responsive. The infotainment system in these models will be more than twice as fast as older systems, with graphics generation that is up to 10 times faster.
The EX30 is also capable of receiving larger software and operating system updates over the air. This enables the car to keep evolving and improving over time, rather than being at its peak when it leaves the factory.
Powertrain technology
The EX30 has the option of being powered by 3 different powertrains: Single Motor, Single Motor Extended Range and Twin Motor Performance.
The Twin Motor Performance variant supplies 428hp, utilising one motor on the front axle and one on the rear axle. These are powered by a 69kWh battery that can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes **. These models have a certified range of up to 280 miles (WLTP Combined) ***.
The Single Motor and Single Motor Extended Range variants produce 272hp, via one electric motor on the rear axle. The Single Motor version comes with a 51kWh battery and a range of up to 209 miles (WLTP Combined) ***, with the battery charging from 10 to 80 per cent of capacity in 26 minutes **. Meanwhile, the Single Motor Extended Range version possesses a 69kWh battery that has a range of up to 296 miles (WLTP Combined) ***, with the battery charging from 10 to 80 per cent of capacity in 28 minutes **.
More details around the powertrain offer can be found in the technical specifications.
Safety and driver assistance
The EX30 is designed to be as safe as you’d expect from a Volvo, aiming to look after both you and others in hectic urban environments. For example, it includes as standard a special safety feature for bikes that helps to prevent so-called ‘dooring’ accidents by alerting you when you are about to open your door in front of a cyclist, scooter or runner.
Our protective safety technology further illustrates how we’ve applied our high safety standards to our new small SUV. It contains state-of-the-art restraint technology, as well as top-notch structural design that fulfils our ambitious in-house safety requirements – designed to prepare our cars for various real-world scenarios.
The EX30 is also our first car to include a new generation of our popular Park Pilot Assist feature. It can handle all types of parking spaces, including parallel, curved, perpendicular and diagonal fishbone-style, making parking in tight spaces a breeze. The new Park Pilot Assist will identify any available parking spots around you. Then, once you’ve tapped the one you want in the new 3D user interface, the feature will operate the accelerator and brake as well as the steering. While you supervise the parking process, the screen shows the distance to objects such as cars, walls and bollards in metric or imperial figures.
