Volvo Car USA has officially announced the pricing for its groundbreaking all-electric compact SUV, the Volvo EX30, setting a new benchmark for accessible premium electric vehicles. Revealed in Milan, Italy, earlier this year, the EX30 expands Volvo’s electric lineup, offering a compelling entry point into the world of Volvo EVs without compromising on luxury or performance. With a starting Volvo EX30 price of just $34,950, Volvo is making premium electric mobility attainable for a wider audience, rivaling even some internal combustion engine (ICE) equivalents in price.

Scandinavian Design, Concentrated Essence
The Volvo EX30 embodies the essence of Scandinavian design in a compact form. Volvo’s design team describes it as an “espresso shot of Volvo,” capturing the brand’s core design principles in a smaller, more focused package. This electric SUV offers a choice of five exterior colors, ranging from the vibrant Moss Yellow to the sophisticated Crystal White and Onyx Black, allowing drivers to personalize their EX30 to reflect their individual style.
Stepping inside the EX30 reveals a sanctuary of minimalist Scandinavian luxury. The interior prioritizes sustainable materials, utilizing natural and recycled leather-free materials. Four distinct interior design themes – Mist, Pine, Indigo, and Breeze – are complemented by five ambient lighting options inspired by Swedish landscapes. This combination creates a customizable and serene cabin environment, a hallmark of Volvo’s commitment to well-being.

Safety and Technology: Big Features in a Compact SUV
Despite its compact size and attractive Volvo EX30 price, the EX30 doesn’t compromise on safety – a core Volvo value. Equipped with a comprehensive suite of radars, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors, the EX30 is engineered to protect occupants and the surrounding environment. Volvo leverages its extensive real-world accident research to equip the EX30 with advanced safety features, reflecting their dedication to passenger and pedestrian safety.
The EX30 also prioritizes planetary safety. It’s designed to have the lowest carbon footprint of any Volvo car to date*, representing a significant step towards Volvo’s goal of becoming a fully electric car company by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2040.
Standard technology features in every Volvo EX30 include Google built-in, providing seamless access to Google Maps and Google Assistant. Wireless Apple CarPlay is also standard, alongside essential safety systems like Driver Alert System, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Door Opening Alert, and Front & Rear Collision Mitigation.
Moving up to the Plus trim level unlocks premium features such as Harman Kardon Premium Sound, a dual-tone panoramic roof in Onyx Black, and stylish 19-inch wheels. The top-tier Ultra trim elevates the experience further with next-generation Pilot Assist featuring Lane Change Assistance, a 360-degree camera with 3D View, and Park Pilot Assist, showcasing advanced driver assistance technologies usually found in higher-priced vehicles.
