Volvo announces 2025 model range prices and changes for the USA
Volvo is continuing to market all drive types including a mild-hybrid, to plug-in hybrid and fully electric variants of their vehicles. The hybrid options will not be available under the EX suffix, instead being sold under the classic XC tag, as they are combustion models.
The Volvo EX90 was originally introduced in late 2022, as a successor to the XC90. Shortly afterwards, Volvo followed up by introducing bi-directional charging for the model. The model saw its official premiere before the end of 2022, however, the market launch was affected by production delays. By 2024, the company managed to get its sales back on track, however, boosting numbers by 50 per cent. We were able to test the EX90 in September last year.
For the US American Volvo EX90 models, all will be produced at the Volvo factory near Charleston in South Carolina and will be offered with a starting price of $79,995 (MSRP). The electric car features a range of up to 310 miles and can charge from 10-80 per cent in about 30 minutes. The EX90 is available in eight different options, ranging from a performance version to different seating options. The range tops out at $89,845 for the EX90 Twin Motor Performance, Ultra, 6-Seater variant.
The EX40 is also going to see its launch on the U.S. market, with single and twin motor options. The mild hybrid variant still runs under the XC40 name. The EX40 starts at $52,500 for the Single Motor Extended Range RWD, Core variant, topping out at $60,750 for the Recharge Twin Motor AWD, Ultra version. Volvo writes that the “EX40 Twin Motor variant features an 82 kWh battery, up from 78 kWh. The charge rate for both the Single Motor and Twin Motor variants have been increased to 205kW DC from 200 kW.”
For the last fully-electric model, the EX30, Volvo is charging $44,900 for the base version, titled “Plus”, and prices go up to $46,600 for the “Ultra” variant. The EX30 features a range of up to 253 miles and can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in about 25 minutes with a charging capacity of up to 153 kW.
Aside from the new models, Volvo also updated its nomenclature, eliminating the ‘Recharge’ suffix from all models, instead opting for the naming scheme seen above. This is to make it “it even easier for existing and new customers to understand which of the models are fully electric and which are hybrids no matter where in the world they may shop for a new Volvo car.”
As the subsidy situation in the USA remains somewhat unclear following the start of the new presidency, Volvo only writes: “Select fully electric and plug-in hybrid models may be eligible for local state incentives.”
