With an instant electric torque rating of 253 pound-feet, a Single Motor Extended Range Volvo EX30 can jump-start your day with excellent handling and power. Inject a bigger burst of energy into your drive with the 400 pound-feet of torque of the Twin Motor Performance option that provides even smoother handling with AWD. This SUV might be compact, but it's making big strides off the line!

This fully electric SUV will be the Volvo Cars brand's smallest sport utility vehicle, designed to offer the smallest carbon footprint of any model to date, but its long wheelbase, large wheels, and head-turning front design give the Volvo EX30 exterior a strong, powerful presence. An Onyx Black roof that interlocks with the SUV's pillars and inflatable curtains provides increased safety, while the Thor's Hammer headlights add visual intrigue.
The panoramic glass roof allows sunlight to stream into the calm, minimalist cabin, which features elegant upholstery choices like Breeze and Pine textiles or Denim and Flax decor panels. The center display is tablet-sized and user-friendly, placing Google applications at your fingertips.
