Fresh Arrival in 2025: Volvo's Compact, Speedy, and High-Tech EX 30 Model
The Volvo EX30, the Swedish automaker's smallest SUV yet, is making waves in the automotive industry with its blend of style, technology, and sustainability. Developed by HaleyTek, a developer for Android-powered infotainment systems and part of the Volvo group structure, the EX30 promises an immersive in-car experience.
Measuring 166.7 inches in length and 72.4 inches in width, the EX30 offers a compact footprint while still comfortably seating five passengers. Rear space may be a bit cozy for adults, but the EX30 provides a decent 12.4 cu ft of cargo room behind the rear seats, expandable to 27.8 with the seats folded.
Priced at a starting point of $46,195, the EX30 offers a range of trims and options, with the price reaching up to $47,895. The Twin Motor Performance AWD trim, the only available option at launch, produces an impressive 422 hp, making it Volvo's fastest-accelerating production car to date, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 to 3.4 seconds.
The EX30 boasts a minimalist cabin, with a central, vertically mounted 12.3-inch touchscreen for controls. However, during testing, the EX30 did not consistently maintain a connection with a Droid device. The glove compartment is small and may bump into the driver and passengers' knees, while the volume control is small and difficult to access.
The EX30's steering is not as sharp as its acceleration when cornering, but road noise remains minimal, and visibility is acceptable. The SUV runs on a Snapdragon-powered, Google-based infotainment system offering wireless Apple CarPlay and OTA updates.
Environmental concerns are addressed with the EX30's use of recycled materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastic, and interior touches like flax, recycled denim, and wool blend fabric. Fast charging for the EX30 can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in roughly 26.5 minutes at a 153 kW station, with an EPA-estimated range of 250-253 miles.
Safety is a priority for Volvo, and the EX30 comes standard with a suite of driver-assistance technologies, including automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering function. Volvo also provides a comprehensive warranty package on its new vehicles, including a limited warranty for 4 years or 50,000 miles, a powertrain warranty for the same period, battery component coverage for 8 years or 100,000 miles, and complimentary scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles.
However, it's worth noting that the key fob of the EX30 does not have any buttons, and the door may not open automatically when approached. The base pricing for the EX30 is not specified in the provided article.
In conclusion, the Volvo EX30 offers a unique blend of style, technology, and sustainability, making it an exciting addition to Volvo's lineup. With its compact size, impressive performance, and focus on environmental responsibility, the EX30 is poised to appeal to a wide range of consumers.
