Key Features of Volvo EX30
The 2025 EX30 electric SUV is Volvo’s fastest car ever.
The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds with the twin-motor variant. The EX30 is also Volvo’s most environmentally friendly car ever, leaving the smallest carbon footprint of any model Volvo has ever made, at just 30 tons over 200,000 km of driving.
It’s built with our planet in mind. Volvo has used 25% recycled aluminum, 17% recycled steel, and 17% recycled plastic throughout the car. Inside, it follows a minimalist Scandinavian design, keeping things clean, quiet, and clutter-free.
The tech inside is smart and easy to use, with a Google-integrated infotainment system that feels like using your smartphone, perfect for maps, music, or calls. It also has battery pre-conditioning, which is a fancy way of saying that it helps charge the battery very quickly when you get to the station.
