Volvo’s compact electric car, the 2025 EX30, has finally arrived at dealerships after a delay of nearly a year. The lineup currently includes the EX30 Plus Twin Motor Performance versions, starting at $46,195, with features such as premium sound, a panoramic roof, and 19-inch wheels. Missing from the lineup are the single-motor versions, which were originally planned to serve as the base models at lower prices.
The Ultra versions of the EX30 come with enhanced driver assistance features, including assisted lane changes and parking assistance, and have a price tag of $47,895 with all-wheel drive. However, the single-motor version of the Ultra, as well as the single-motor versions of other trims, are still missing from the lineup. Currently, the only available versions in the U.S. are the Twin Motor Performance Plus and the Twin Motor Performance Ultra.
Volvo has expressed its intention to introduce the EX30 Single Motor in the U.S. but has not provided a timeline for its availability. The company plans to build most or all EX30 models destined for the U.S. market at its plant in Ghent, Belgium. All versions of the EX30 come equipped with advanced safety features and are based on Google Built-In interface with support for wireless Apple CarPlay.
The 2025 Volvo EX30 offers a range of color options and interior expressions, along with ambient lighting themes. The dual-motor versions have an EPA range rating of 253 miles and a 69-kwh battery pack. Volvo aims to achieve price parity with gasoline-engine equivalents without relying on EV tax credits. The EX30 is positioned as a viable alternative to other electric vehicles currently on the market.
Volvo has positioned the EX30 as an SUV suitable for weekend adventures, although it remains unclear if it offers off-road capabilities or greater ground clearance compared to Volvo cars. The company has hinted at a more rugged Cross Country version of the EX30. Volvo aims to avoid markups and position the EX30 as a competitive option in the electric vehicle market.
Volvo sees subscriptions as a means to drive EV adoption and initially announced that its U.S. EVs would be sold with no-haggle pricing and online sales only. However, this strategy has yet to be fully implemented. Overall, the Volvo EX30 represents the brand’s commitment to electric mobility and sustainable transportation while offering a competitive pricing and feature package compared to other electric vehicles in its class.
