As anticipated, Volvo has officially introduced the Volvo EX30 Cross Country, a compact electric SUV designed to handle any terrain. With all-wheel drive, a rugged design, and cutting-edge technology, the EX30 Cross Country promises a unique and safe driving experience both in the city and off the beaten path.
From urban roads to rugged trails
The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is built for versatility, seamlessly adapting to city streets as well as rough, off-road conditions. This fully electric SUV boasts an impressive range of up to 427 km and can charge from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime.
Compared to the standard EX30, the Cross Country version features enhancements tailored for tougher terrains:
- Increased ground clearance for better maneuverability on uneven surfaces.
- Larger wheels, with an option for 18-inch all-terrain tires to boost off-road performance.
- Standard all-wheel drive, offering superior grip on slippery surfaces, including snow and ice.
While built for extreme conditions, the EX30 Cross Country does not compromise on style. Its exterior design balances ruggedness with refined Scandinavian aesthetics:
- A darkened front shield and tailgate add a bold touch.
- A unique front design featuring an artistic rendering of the Kebnekaise mountain range, reflecting Volvo’s Scandinavian heritage.
- Front and rear skid plates, along with widened wheel arches, emphasize the SUV’s durability and off-road readiness.
Functional interior
Inside, the EX30 Cross Country prioritizes comfort and practicality while maintaining Volvo’s signature minimalist design. Key interior features include:
- Generous door storage, enabled by the integration of speakers into the dashboard soundbar.
- A versatile center console with adjustable cupholders and additional storage space.
- A spacious floor compartment between the front seats, ideal for larger items.
- A removable and washable rear storage bin, perfect for outdoor excursions.
- A handy “Will it fit?” guide on the tailgate to optimize cargo organization.
Technologically advanced, the EX30 Cross Country comes with built-in Google services, including Google Maps for precise navigation even in remote locations. Additionally, the Volvo EX30 app allows drivers to pre-condition the vehicle remotely, ensuring a comfortable cabin upon return from outdoor adventures.
As expected from Volvo, the EX30 Cross Country is equipped with state-of-the-art safety features designed to protect passengers and prevent accidents:
- Automatic braking and steering assistance to avoid collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.
- A driver monitoring system that detects signs of fatigue or distraction, issuing timely alerts.
- Reinforced structures and high-quality materials to maximize crash protection.
The Cross Country experience
To further enhance the adventure, Volvo introduces the Cross Country Experience, an exclusive program for EX30 Cross Country owners. This initiative provides access to specialized accessories and outdoor equipment, including:
- Secure cargo bars for transporting gear safely.
- A roof box to expand storage capacity.
- 18-inch all-terrain tires for superior off-road capability.
- Mudguards to protect the vehicle from dirt and debris.
