Volvo Cross Country Goes Electric with the EX30 SUV
The Volvo Cross Country lineup welcomes a new, electrified addition with the rugged 4x4 version of the EX30.
Designed to combine the charm of off-road adventures with the benefits of an electric SUV, this is the first model in Volvo's history to wear the Cross Country badge as an SUV or EV.
The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is built for those who love exploring nature. This all-wheel-drive electric SUV has been raised by 19mm for enhanced ground clearance and is fitted with robust features like front and rear skid plates. For adventurers looking to take on tougher terrain, additional options, such as mudflaps and 720mm all-terrain tires, make this an ideal choice. The SUV’s softened five-link rear suspension further ensures it tackles bumpier tracks, muddy paths, ankle-deep snow, and smooth highways with equal ease.
Perfect for Weekend Explorers
Volvo’s goal with the EX30 Cross Country is to cater to “weekend explorers” rather than dedicated off-roading enthusiasts. While not a hardcore off-roader, this electric SUV is designed to make it easier for drivers to connect with nature on its own terms. Whether you're heading out for a weekend camping trip or navigating countryside tracks, the EX30 Cross Country is equipped to deliver comfort and capability.
A rugged, more outdoor-ready design sets the EX30 Cross Country apart from its standard sibling. With blacked-out accents on the front grille and bootlid, sculpted bumpers, and blackened wheel arches, the car sports a stylish yet durable look. Buyers can also opt for accessories like a roof-mounted kayak holder, a roof tent, or a stowable towbar to enhance outdoor functionality.
Power Meets Performance
Key to the EX30 Cross Country’s performance is its powerful 69kWh battery. This all-electric model comes with a dual-motor setup that generates an impressive 422bhp, ensuring both smooth city drives and adventurous off-road trips. The SUV offers a range of up to 264 miles, giving drivers the peace of mind needed for longer journeys. From launch, the model will feature all-wheel drive, but future single-motor variants may also join the lineup.
A Look at Pricing and Availability
While pricing has yet to be finalized, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country is expected to carry a higher price tag than the standard EX30, which currently tops out at around £45,000. Regardless of the cost, it is clear that Volvo has created this model to meet the growing demand for vehicles that allow people to immerse themselves in nature while being environmentally conscious.
