Overview

  • Volvo has commenced local assembly of the EX30 at its India plant, with ex-showroom prices expected around ₹42–44 lakh from September 2025 and deliveries slated for October.
  • The single rear-mounted motor delivers 272 PS and 343 Nm torque, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in 5.3 seconds and a real-world range of approximately 400–450 km from its 69 kWh battery.
  • Standard equipment includes a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, advanced driver-assist systems like Pilot Assist, a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, NFC key card and one-pedal driving mode.
  • The minimalist cabin relies almost entirely on a central touchscreen for climate, media and vehicle settings, integrating Google Maps, Assistant and Play Store apps without a traditional instrument cluster.
  • Reviewers highlight rear comfort compromises from weak under-thigh support and no AC vents, constrained boot capacity (318–400 L, reduced further by a space-saver tyre) and a notably firm low-speed ride.
