Overview

• Reviewers in India praise the EX30’s Scandinavian design, rapid 0–100 km/h acceleration in about 5.3 seconds, real-world range exceeding 400 km and top safety ratings.
• Volvo Car India will open fully refundable pre-bookings on August 20 ahead of an end-September launch and early-October deliveries.
• The compact crossover runs a 69 kWh rear-wheel-drive motor rated at roughly 270 PS and 343 Nm, with a WLTP-claimed range of 480 km.
• Having posted a roughly €1 billion loss in Q2 and reinstated Håkan Samuelsson as CEO, Volvo needs EX30 sales to help hit its revised 2025 target of 800,000–850,000 units.
• Shifting EX30 production to Belgium mitigates EU tariff exposure but could add costs that test Volvo’s ability to price the model competitively.
