Volvo has been talking big about electrification for a while now, but despite some of the most ambitious (and now retracted) goals on ditching petrol, the company has long lacked an EV that exists on its own terms. The Volvo EX30 changes the story as the company’s first mass market, electric-only model.
The $44,900 / £32,850 / AU$60,000 entry price for the Volvo EX30 makes it an attractive and competitively-priced Tesla Model Y rival, especially outside of Europe where Volvo is perceived as a luxury, more premium brand. It’s the cheapest EV Volvo offers, priced below the Polestar 2 from Volvo’s sister brand.
