Volvo Unveils the All-Electric EX30 in Canada: A Glimpse into the Future of Mobility
August 25 2023,
Volvo Cars took a significant step in its journey toward full electrification by showcasing the all-new, fully electric Volvo EX30 in Montreal, Canada. This compact SUV perfectly embodies the Swedish brand's design philosophy, marrying its commitment to safety, sustainability, and Scandinavian elegance into a concise package.
Scandinavian Design Meets Sustainability
The exterior of the EX30 offers a refreshing look into the future of car design. With the long wheelbase paired with sizable wheels and equivalent overhangs both front and rear, the EX30 epitomizes harmony and sophistication. Its unique electric identity is clear, marked by a confident face, a closed shield, and a digital adaptation of the iconic Thor’s Hammer headlights. From the tranquil Cloud Blue to the spirited Moss Yellow, which draws inspiration from the lichen on the Swedish west coast rocks, the EX30 isn’t short on character.
Unveiled in Milan earlier this year, the EX30 isn't just about looks. Boasting the smallest CO2 footprint in the Volvo lineup, the vehicle leans on advanced technology and Scandinavian design to provide users with a safer, more convenient, and enjoyable driving experience.
Performance Choices for the Discerning Driver
With two distinct powertrain options, the EX30 ensures potential buyers find what they need. The Single Motor Extended Range rear-wheel-drive variant promises a commendable estimated range of up to 442 kms per charge. However, those seeking sheer power will find the Twin Motor Performance variant more fitting. This all-wheel-drive option of the EX30 boasts 422 hp, achieving 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, marking it as the fastest-accelerating Volvo yet.
Sustainability and Purchasing Details
A linchpin in Volvo’s green initiatives, the EX30 stands out with its reduced carbon footprint. By assessing emissions across the entire production process and vehicle lifecycle, and mindful material selection, the vehicle's total carbon footprint is trimmed to below 30 tons across 200,000 kms.
Starting at $53,700.00, the MY25 Volvo EX30 sets itself as an enticing choice for those eager to step into the electric vehicle world. With its price point positioned to leverage Federal and provincial EV incentives, consumers can now relish the perks of a fully electric premium SUV at nearly the same cost as its internal combustion counterparts. Furthermore, more details on pricing for the distinct powertrains and features will be available later this fall on the Volvocars.ca configurator. The platform will also facilitate reservations for early birds. Moreover, the Volvo EX30 is slated to be the third vehicle offered under Volvo’s ‘One Price Promise’, ensuring a hassle-free and transparent buying process for all.
