While still instantly recognizable as a Volvo with strong EX90 influences, the little electric crossover has plenty of attitude. Pixelated Thor’s Hammer headlights, a sculpted hood, and a grille-less fascia give it an identifiable front end. A black roof is par for the course these days, but the most unique elements occur at the back, where split taillight clusters see upper lighting elements flank the rear window while the lower light clusters are integrated with a rectangular design element spanning the width of the tailgate.
20-inch wheels have been showcased on the EX30 in reveal guise, but whether these will be standard remains to be seen.
In addition to standard variants, the EX30 will be available as a Cross Country model – previously the reserve of hatches, wagons, and sedans rather than crossover models – from late 2024.
This variant is characterized by extra ground clearance, 18- and 19-inch wheel options with all-terrain tires, black body cladding and bumper appliques, and skid plates. It will feature model-specific badging and a hood-mounted Swedish flag.
Five exterior colors will be available for the EX30, including Cloud Blue and Moss Yellow, the latter inspired by lichen growing on rocks along Sweden’s west coast.
