The Indian EV market is heating up fast and Volvo is about to launch one of its most exciting cars yet. The Volvo EX30 India is expected to debut in late 2025 and has already been spotted testing on our roads. It’s going to be the brand’s most affordable electric car and promises style, range and tech that will shake up the luxury EV space.

Design and Looks

Volvo hasn’t gone overboard with the design – the EX30 sticks to its Scandinavian roots. The front has a closed grille and those iconic Thor’s Hammer LED DRLs, while the rear gets bold pixel-inspired taillights. It’s compact but balanced and has a premium stance. Inside you’ll find a cabin built with sustainable materials. A massive 12.3-inch vertical touchscreen sits at the centre and runs Google’s infotainment system for seamless access to Maps, Assistant and apps. It’s simple, modern and uncluttered.

Performance and Range

Volvo will launch the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive version in India. With 272 hp and 343 Nm of torque it should be fun in the city and confident on highways. A 69 kWh battery pack powers the SUV, which will have an estimated 474 km range (WLTP) – enough for daily commutes and weekend getaways. And when you need a quick top up, the 175 kW DC fast charger can charge it from 10% to 80% in under 30 minutes.

Safety and Technology

Being a Volvo, safety is non-negotiable. The EX30 will get a suite of ADAS features including lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking and 360-degree camera. One cool feature is the door-opening alert which warns passengers of cyclists or scooters before they step out – a small but thoughtful feature for Indian city traffic.

Price and Competition

The Volvo EX30 India is expected to be priced between ₹40–50 lakh (ex-showroom). That puts it in the same bracket as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and BMW iX1. But Volvo’s formula – minimalist design, strong range and class-leading safety – could give it an edge over the flashier competition.

FAQs
