Volvo EX30 — What is it?

The Volvo EX30, as we mentioned earlier, is Volvo’s smallest and most-affordable electric vehicle and like everything other carmaker, Volvo wants us to believe it's an SUV. The EX30 is one of the first EVs from the range of new-gen EVs that Volvo has revealed over the past few years. It sits on the brand's dedicated EV platform and comes with both single- and dual-motor configurations. While it is the smallest and most affordable, the EX30 still is Volvo’s quickest car, with a 0-100kmph acceleration time of 3.6 seconds.

Volvo EX30 design and features

Speaking about the design of the EX30, it carries its key design cues from the larger EX90—the electric iteration of the XC90 that recently received a mid-lifecycle facelift in the Indian market. The EX30 gets a new interpretation of the Thor-Hammer LED headlights, which now move up for the projector to function—looks rather cool for sure. Other exterior features of the EX30 include an enclosed front grille, 19-inch alloy wheels and vertically-stacked LED tail lights.
