The Volvo EX30 has quickly become one of the most talked-about electric vehicles, selling nearly 100,000 units globally in 2024 and earning accolades like Electrek’s EV of the Year. Its appeal lies in a blend of Scandinavian design, impressive performance, and competitive pricing. The Twin Motor Performance model delivers a thrilling 0–60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds, making it the fastest Volvo ever produced. With a minimalist interior crafted from recycled materials and a compact footprint ideal for city driving, the EX30 offers a premium experience in a small package.

Charging and range are well-suited to both daily driving and longer trips. The dual-motor version offers up to 253 miles of range, and DC fast charging gets the battery from 10% to 80% in about 26 minutes, providing quick turnaround times for busy lifestyles. The central touchscreen interface brings a clean, modern feel to the cabin, aligning with Volvo’s signature approach to intuitive design and technology.

Overall, the EX30 emerges as a savvy pick for drivers who want a sleek, eco-conscious, and engaging electric vehicle—without stretching their budget. As Volvo broadens the EX30 lineup and reinforces its legacy of safety, innovation, and sustainability, this compact crossover delivers a well-balanced blend of performance, design, and value that makes it a standout in today’s EV landscape.
