Hey folks, if you’re in the market for a sleek electric ride that doesn’t break the bank, Volvo’s got your attention with the EX30. This compact SUV just landed in India as the Swedish brand’s cheapest EV option here, kicking off at an intro price of Rs. 41 lakhs ex-showroom. But snag a pre-reserve spot by October 19, and you can lock it in for Rs. 39.99 lakhs – a sweet deal to get more folks behind the wheel. Look for deliveries rolling out in early November, and it’ll come in five fresh color choices right from the jump.
Volvo’s doubling down on building local roots, too – this is the third EV they’ll assemble at their Bengaluru-area plant. Every EX30 packs an 11 kW home charger from a partner brand, plus an eight-year battery warranty good for 160,000 km. And get this: a no-fuss ownership perk throws in three years of full coverage, maintenance, roadside help, five years of connected features, and that charger, all bundled up.
What really sets it apart is the eco-angle. Volvo claims it’s their greenest EV ever, from cradle to grave, thanks to recycled goodies like denim seats, PET plastics, aluminum bits, and old PVC reworked into the interior. It snagged a top Euro NCAP safety score and awards like Red Dot’s top design nod for 2024, plus World Urban Car of the Year.
Under the hood, the single-motor setup dishes out 272 horsepower and 343 Nm of twist from a 69 kWh battery. Expect a solid 480 km WLTP range, zero-to-100 in 5.3 seconds, and a 180 km/h top end, all with rear-wheel drive and an auto ‘box.
Safety’s no afterthought – think a full sensor array with cameras and radars for auto-braking at intersections, pedestrian and bike detection, lane-keeping, blind-spot warnings, adaptive cruise, a 360 camera for parking, rear cross-traffic alerts, and post-crash stops.
Step inside, and it’s cozy: a big fixed glass roof, dual-zone AC with clean air tech, adjustable front seats, fold-flat rear seats, a handy 7-liter front trunk, and 318 liters out back. Crank up the 1,040-watt Harman Kardon audio with nine speakers and mood lighting options. The 12.3-inch screen runs Google apps with 5G and wireless updates, plus Apple CarPlay. Toss in wireless phone charging, roomy pockets, and app-based keyless entry via NFC.
Outside, LED lights with auto highs, DRLs, a powered liftgate, and 19-inch aero wheels on summer rubber round it out, with one-pedal driving for easy city zips.
Priced sharp and made local, the EX30’s out to grow Volvo’s EV crowd in India, banking on its clean creds, sharp looks, and that loaded warranty. Just don’t sleep on the pre-book window – chat with your dealer for the fine print.
