Overview

• Volvo Cars India says bookings open on 20 August with a late‑September launch targeted and first customer deliveries slated for October 2025.
• India will get a locally assembled EX30 in a single rear‑wheel‑drive configuration with a 69 kWh battery, 268 bhp and 343 Nm, a 0–100 km/h time of 5.3 seconds and a claimed WLTP range of about 480 km.
• The cabin features a minimalist layout centered on a vertical Google‑based touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, a Harman Kardon sound system, extensive ADAS and a 5‑star Euro NCAP rating.
• Early drive reports praise design, performance and efficiency but note tight rear‑seat space, missing rear A/C vents in some cars and touchscreen‑heavy controls.
• Market estimates place pricing around Rs 40–45 lakh ex‑showroom, with some reports suggesting up to Rs 50 lakh, as analysts highlight the EX30’s role in Volvo’s profit goals and note global production has been shifted to Belgium to navigate tariffs.
