Volvo introduces new EX30 variant in the UK
The two new variants include a ‘Single Motor’ version, which features a driving range of up to 209 miles, and a ‘Single Motor Extended Range’, which can travel up to 295 miles, according to official WLTP data. On-the-road prices start at £32,850 for the Single Motor version and £37,050 for the Single Motor Extended Range.
Order books are already open for the new EX30 Core variants, however, first customer deliveries are not expected until early 2025. Considering that the first EX30 was only handed over to customers at the beginning of this year, that is no surprise.
Volvo describes the equipment package as “generous”, as it includes a “rear parking camera, rear parking sensors, automatic LED headlights with active high beam and 18-inch alloy wheels. The 12.3-inch touchscreen system comes with Google built-in. In the Extended Range variant, the climate control system also uses a heat pump, “helping optimise the car’s power usage and driving range.”
The Chinese-owned Swedish company seems to be realigning its global strategy with the EX30, which was only recently discontinued in the USA, however, a new variant was launched in China. This is likely due to the subsidy situation in the USA, which requires vehicles and batteries to be locally sourced, while Volvo’s main production hubs are located in Europe.
