Assessing the Volvo EX30 Cross Country: A compact electric off-roader boasting charm and capability

The Volvo EX30 Cross Country has made its debut, offering an exciting blend of performance, practicality, and style. This new electric SUV is now available for purchase on VolvoCars.com, starting from £47,005.

Power and Performance

The EX30 Cross Country boasts a punchy 428hp engine, capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds. It also comes with all-wheel drive as standard, ensuring a smooth and confident ride.

Practicality and Space

The EX30 Cross Country offers a flexible and informative boot space. With two loading floor heights, you can easily adjust the space to suit your needs. An added feature is a built-in infographic guide on the boot roof's underside, providing useful information at a glance. The minimum and maximum boot space is 318 liters and 1000 liters, respectively.

Design and Aesthetics

The exterior of the EX30 Cross Country features a large panel of dark matt cladding with scored contour lines at the front, giving it a rugged yet refined look. The rear of the vehicle also has more dark cladding, making it suitable for rugged roof rack and accessories. The Cross Country variant of the EX30 also comes with wheel arch extensions, integrated front and rear lower bumper skid plates, and slightly smaller 19in wheels.

Interior and Technology

The interior of the EX30 Cross Country is a testament to Volvo's commitment to quality. You won't find any fake materials in the cabin. Instead, some seat fabrics are made of Nordic wool coated with pine resin and mixed with recycled polyester, adding a touch of Scandinavian charm.

The dashboard houses a soundbar with seven speakers, ensuring an immersive audio experience. The EX30 Cross Country also supports Apple and Android mirror screening, allowing you to seamlessly connect your devices.

One unique feature is the display of the speed digitally on the top right of the center screen, instead of a traditional driver's display in front of the steering wheel. The vehicle also comes with a fixed panoramic roof, filling the cabin with natural light.

Google Automotive Services and Driving Modes

The EX30 Cross Country is equipped with Google Automotive Services, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience. It also offers various driving modes for steering, dynamics, and one-pedal driving with different regenerative braking settings, giving you control over your driving experience.

Size and Price

The Volvo EX30 Cross Country measures 4233mm in length, making it larger than an Audi Q2 and shorter than a Smart #1. The price ceiling of the EX30 Cross Country electric SUV is approximately 50,000 euros.

The EX30 Cross Country is the latest model to offer a Cross Country version, continuing Volvo's tradition of blending practicality with off-road capability. With its combination of power, practicality, and style, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country is sure to turn heads.
