So you’ve been waiting for a stylish, tech-packed, premium electric SUV that won’t burn a hole in your pocket – the Volvo EX30 electric SUV might just be worth the wait. Officially confirmed for India launch in late 2025, the EX30 is Volvo’s next step in its EV journey and it’s coming in hot.
And here’s the twist: local assembly is on the cards, which could bring prices down and make this compact luxury SUV a serious contender.
Compact Design, Big Presence
Think of the EX30 as a mini-EX90, but with its own charm. It carries a sharp, modern face featuring a sealed-off front grille, signature ‘Thor’s Hammer’ LED headlights, and sleek split tail lamps at the rear. It’s built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform – so it’s compact but no compromise on stability or tech.
Inside you get a sleek Scandinavian vibe:
- A 12.3-inch vertical touchscreen takes center stage
- Google-based infotainment, plus Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- Eco-friendly cabin materials: old denim, flax, and recycled plastics
This is luxury with a conscience.
Powertrain: Pick Your Punch
Volvo isn’t holding back on options. Globally the EX30 electric SUV comes in three flavours – and India is likely to get them all:
- Single Motor Standard Range:
268 bhp, 49 kWh battery, 344 km range, 0-100 in 5.7 sec - Single Motor Extended Range:
268 bhp, 64 kWh battery, 476 km range, 0-100 in 5.3 sec - Twin Motor AWD (Performance):
422 bhp, 64 kWh, about 450 km range, 0-100 in 3.6 sec
Fast charging up to 150 kW? Yep, that’s standard across the lineup.
Safety First, Always Volvo
The EX30 packs in all the safety tech you expect:
- Collision avoidance, lane assist and door opening alerts
- Driver monitoring for drowsiness
- 360° camera, Park Pilot and Pilot Assist for semi-auto driving
Basically it’s a smart, safe cocoon on wheels.
Aggressive Pricing Incoming?
If Volvo goes ahead with local assembly expect a much friendlier sticker price – likely in the ₹40–50 lakh range (ex-showroom). That would put it head-to-head with the BMW iX1 but with more kit and Volvo’s safety DNA.
