Volvo launch a new 'small yet mighty' electric EX40 SUV

Volvo's new EX30 fully electric SUV was recently revealed to the world in Milan. The brands first small premium SUV expands their fully electric model range as the demand for EV's continues to grow. 

The Volvo EX30 will start at just €38,596 in Ireland (including SEAI Grant & VRT Relief). 

The new EX30 is available with three different battery options; a Single Motor (which comes as standard) and offers a range of up to 344Km, a Single Motor Extended Range variant, gives you a range of up to 480km, and an all-wheel drive Twin Motor Performance variant that provides 315kW (428hp) and takes you from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, making it officially Volvo's fastest-accelerating car ever!

The extended-range Twin Motor variant has a charging capacity of up to 153kW, while the standard-range car has a capacity of 134kW. That means you can charge your battery from 10 to 80 per cent in a little over 25 minutes.

The EX30 embodies Volvo's design values in a smaller format. A long wheelbase, large wheels and equal overhangs bring balance and refinement to the exterior. It’s distinctly electric, with a confident face, closed shield and a digital rendition of the Thor’s Hammer headlights. Five vibrant exterior colours, from stylish Cloud Blue to bright and expressive Moss Yellow – the latter inspired by lichen growing on rocks along the Swedish west coast – give it character and personality.

Jim Ronan Chief Executive of Volvo Ireland said: “The fully electric EX30 might be our smallest ever SUV, but it’s a big deal for our customers and a big deal for us as a company. We like to say the EX30 is small yet mighty, because it delivers on everything you’d want from a Volvo but in a smaller package. Like any Volvo, it’s an outstanding product which is safe and designed around people and their needs.”

The Volvo EX30 is available to order now, with the first Irish deliveries expected in January 2024.
