Volvo's new compact all-electric luxury SUV, the EX30, offers the strength and quality you expect from Volvo Cars' highest safety standards. Designed to be the Volvo brand's smallest carbon footprint to date, the Volvo EX30 uses cutting-edge technology and intelligent design to perfectly reflect the essence of Scandinavian design style, bringing people a simpler, more relaxed and more enjoyable life experience.
Today, the Volvo EX30 made its world premiere in Milan, Italy, and is Volvo Cars' first small luxury SUV and fourth all-electric model. The launch of the Volvo EX30 not only enriches Volvo Cars' all-electric product lineup, but also helps Volvo Cars to seize the growing demand for pure electric vehicles in the fast-growing pure electric vehicle market.
Volvo Cars President and CEO Locke Wenxi said: "The Volvo EX30 may be the smallest SUV in the brand's history, and although it is sophisticated, it means a lot to customers and Volvo. In Volvo Cars' view, the Volvo EX30 carries all the advantages of Volvo Cars, adhering to the excellent quality of Volvo products, combining high safety and human-oriented design. ”
The Volvo EX30 embodies the entire design philosophy of Volvo Cars in its refined form. In terms of appearance, large wheels and equal-length front and rear overhangs give the Volvo EX30 a balanced and refined look. The closed front grille and the design of Thor's Hammer headlights give the Volvo EX30 a confident front face, presenting the design style of Volvo's new generation of pure electric products. In addition, the Volvo EX30 is available in five vibrant body colours, such as the stylish "Sea Cloud Blue" and the bright and expressive "Fluorite Yellow", which is inspired by lichens grown on the rocks of Sweden's west coast.
Battery technology solutions to meet the needs of different groups of people for vehicles and electricity
In terms of power, the Volvo EX30 offers three powertrain options and two battery types, giving customers the freedom to choose the model that best meets their needs. For customers who are mainly in urban areas or short-distance travel and do not need a long range, they can choose a single-motor solution equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are cost-effective and consume less resources.
For customers who need to maximize range, they can choose the Single Motor Extended Range model equipped with ternary lithium (NMC) batteries, which use lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt raw materials to be more energy efficient than lithium iron phosphate batteries. This single-motor version offers a range of up to 480 km on a single charge.
For the most performance-conscious customers, you can choose the Twin Motor Performance model, which is equipped with an additional electric motor on the basis of a ternary lithium battery, with a power of up to 315 kW (428 hp) and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.6 seconds, making it the fastest Volvo model ever.
In terms of charging speed, the charging power of the Volvo EX30 dual-motor four-wheel drive version model can reach 153kW, and the charging power of the standard endurance version model can reach 134kW, and it only takes about 25 minutes to charge the battery from 10% to 80%. In addition, customers can set the current, maximum charge and charging start time through the car's center display and app.
For a better driving experience, the chassis of the Volvo EX30 has also been carefully designed. The smaller ground clearance of the body makes the overall center of gravity of the body lower, and the handling is small and flexible, which is more suitable for shuttling in the city.
Smaller carbon emissions, but just as outstanding safety
Designed to be Volvo Cars' smallest carbon footprint to date, the Volvo EX30 is an important step towards Volvo Cars' sustainability goals. Through strict tracking and calculation of Volvo EX30's efforts to address emissions throughout production and life cycle, and rational use of materials inside and outside the vehicle, its total carbon emissions from 200,000 kilometers have been reduced to less than 30 tons.
The Volvo EX30 continues to adhere to Volvo Cars' safety standards, taking urban safety to new heights by keeping you and others safe in busy urban environments. For example, the Volvo EX30 uses a door opening warning system that emits visual and voice alerts when it detects a cyclist, scooter or runner passing by.
The Volvo EX30 continues Volvo Cars' ultra-high passive safety standards and is equipped with Volvo Cars' most comprehensive safety protection technology. The Volvo EX30 features a high-strength body structure and an advanced airbag protection system that effectively absorbs the impact that may be caused by a collision and helps to cope with a variety of realistic road scenarios.
The Volvo EX30 uses cutting-edge technology and intelligent design to perfectly reflect the essence of Scandinavian design style, bringing a simpler, more relaxed and more enjoyable life experience with a refined body. The Volvo EX30 offers four interior "space" styles, each with its own distinctive expressions and colour combinations, allowing your Volvo EX30 to perfectly match your personality and preferences. At the same time, the Volvo EX30 has an ingenious smart storage concept that provides a complete experience that is simple but not simple.
In terms of cutting-edge technology, the Volvo EX30 is the first Volvo car to adopt a new generation of parking assistance. This function can handle all types of parking spaces, including side, diagonal, vertical and diagonal, making parking in tight spaces a breeze.
The new parking assist system also has the function of identifying available parking spaces nearby. The feature provides a 3D user interface that allows the car to control the accelerator, brakes and steering by simply tapping on the selected parking space. The distance of the car to objects such as other cars, walls, and bollards is also displayed, allowing you to observe the parking process in real time.
Volvo Cars works closely with technology partners such as Apple and Qualcomm to enable the Volvo EX30 to provide a better user experience. We have established the HaleyTek Software Joint Venture with ECARCOM Technologies, resulting in a close partnership to provide a better infotainment platform for our customers.
Immerse yourself in Scandinavian aesthetics
The Volvo EX30 is equipped with a digital key function for mobile phones, making it easy for customers to use their own car or share it with others. Based on advanced UWB technology and CCC industry standards, Volvo Cars is compatible with a wide range of brands and models.
The Volvo Cars App includes all services related to your car, including useful functions such as charging, car finding, locking and remote air conditioning, so you can easily cope with any situation. The Volvo EX30 also supports OTA over-the-air software upgrades and continuously improved functionality.
In addition, the Volvo EX30 offers five different theme style mood lights, each inspired by the different Scandinavian landscapes, with subtle color changes that create a sense of serenity in the interior.
The interior mood lighting theme style of the Volvo EX30 includes the warm sun of the Scandinavian forest, the sunset on the west coast of Sweden, the world-famous Northern Lights, the golden Swedish summer, and the pleasant city sunset, each theme style also has matching ambient music to bring customers a stronger sense of immersion.
