<p>
The Volvo EX30 is a curious case. On the one hand, it’s the most affordable luxury EV that you can buy in the country. On the other hand, it feels a bit half-baked. As a result, this quirky Volvo finds itself in a tricky spot, especially in a market full of capable EVs. That said, the EX30 isn’t a complete washout. In fact, it has a lot of tricks up its sleeve.</p>

<p>‘This is, by far, the best electric vehicle to push for a fast lap around the BIC from the current lineup!’ – that was Dhruv’s verdict after spending just 10 minutes in the car. This is clearly reflected in its lap times. Despite being a heavyweight electric bruiser, the EX30’s fastest lap time slots between those of the VW Golf GTI and Mercedes-Benz E450 in the overall standings – both of which pack serious performance and also cost a heck of a lot more.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/volvo-ex30-first-drive-review-style-over-substance-121506/">Volvo EX30 First Drive Review: Style over substance?</a></p>

<p>For an EV, the EX30 handles remarkably well. It has ample grip and gusto. Its 268bhp and 343Nm motor rockets it from 0 to 100km/h in just 5.3 seconds, and since it’s driven by the rear wheels, it nicely rotates from the back instead of understeering. Unlike other EVs, the electronics do not intervene abruptly. Most EVs sap power as soon as you turn the steering wheel even slightly, but not the EX30 – it feeds the right amount of power to the wheels to maintain momentum while keeping grip in check, ensuring that you stay off the barriers. Its direct steering and taut suspension play along, resulting in a rewarding driving experience.</p>

<p>It’s also undeniably stylish. Quirky, yes, but with plenty of X-factor. However, marketing it as an SUV is a bit of a stretch – it’s more of a hatchback. Step inside, and you’ll quickly realise this. The rear compartment is tight, the floor is high, and there’s virtually no space for average-sized adults in the back. Up front, it oozes style, but Volvo has clearly cut corners in the name of minimalism. There are no power window switches on the doors. Plus, a touchscreen handles most functions, including adjusting the ORVMs and opening the glovebox. There’s no driver display either. And while the dashboard is made of sustainable materials, the quality leaves you wanting more.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://youtu.be/k4oaPb9H0r8?si=clda3isPMXacuMBK">Volvo EX30 Review: India’s Most Affordable Luxury EV? | autoX</a></p>

<p>All things considered, the EX30 has its flaws, but it’s a likeable EV simply because of how well it drives. At an asking price of  ₹41 lakh, however, driving prowess alone won’t be enough for it to survive a market crowded with cutthroat rivals from all corners of the world.

Volvo XC60 vs Audi Q5 vs BMW X3 vs Lexus NX 350h vs Mercedes GLC | Luxury SUV Comparison | autoX

It’s the ultimate midsize luxury SUV showdown! This time, Shivank brings together all five contenders in this segment — the Volvo XC60, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3, and Lexus NX 350h — for a definitive comparison test.

<p>Volvo has announced an array of hardware&nbsp;and software upgrades for the 2026 EX90,&nbsp;while retaining its familiar exterior design.&nbsp;The most significant change is the integration of Volvo’s&nbsp;new 800-volt electric architecture, replacing the previous 400V system.&nbsp;The new system minimises heat buildup during charging, resulting&nbsp;in faster charge times and improved performance. It is&nbsp;further enhanced&nbsp;by the company’s smart, in-house battery management software, which optimises&nbsp;the charging process using adaptive algorithms, allowing the vehicle to gain up to 250&nbsp;kilometres of range in 10 minutes. Beyond charging speed, the high-voltage system also delivers&nbsp;stronger performance with quicker acceleration and improved energy use. Additionally,&nbsp;the upgraded design reduces material consumption, making the batteries&nbsp;and electric motors lighter and more efficient overall.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/Volvo-EX90-(2)-1758801418031.webp" alt="Volvo EX90 (2).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    
    <h2><strong>2026 Volvo EX90: Other Updates</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/volvo/">Volvo</a> has upgraded the EX90’s software by replacing the older Nvidia Xavier chip with two&nbsp;powerful Nvidia Drive AGX Orin chips, delivering 500 trillion&nbsp;operations per second (TOPS). The enhanced computing capability&nbsp;is said to enable Volvo to elevate the EX90’s safety and performance&nbsp;through advanced data processing, software improvements, and AI capabilities.&nbsp;The upgrade not only benefits the 2026 models but is also made&nbsp;available to 2025 EX90 owners, who can receive a complimentary&nbsp;one-time core computer update during a scheduled service visit at authorised Volvo workshops.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/volvo-ex30-ev-launched-in-india-at-rs-41-lakh-rs-3999-lakh-intro-offer-till-oct-19-121825/">Volvo EX30 EV Launched in India at Rs 41 Lakh; Rs 39.99 Lakh Intro Offer Till Oct 19</a></p><p>As for safety, Volvo has added new connected alerts for slippery conditions, hazards, and accidents ahead. The vehicle also&nbsp;features automatic e-Call with Emergency Stop Assist (ESA), which can detect&nbsp;if the driver is unresponsive and bring the car to a&nbsp;safe stop within its lane. After stopping, the system&nbsp;automatically contacts a Volvo emergency centre that can talk with passengers&nbsp;and send help if needed. Plus, automatic emergency steering in the dark&nbsp;has been improved, and Park Pilot assist&nbsp;now helps make parallel parking easier.</p><p>Anders Bell, chief technology &amp; engineering officer at Volvo Cars, said, 'The additional computing power enables us to harness&nbsp;the power of AI, data, and software to further enhance&nbsp;safety and overall performance of the EX90.'</p><p>He also added, 'This means we can provide our customers with advanced&nbsp;safety and driver support features, along with continuous&nbsp;improvements to the infotainment and battery management&nbsp;systems – all delivered seamlessly over the air.'</p>

2026 Volvo EX90 Upgrades to 800-Volt System for Faster Charging

Volvo’s new 800-volt electric architecture has replaced the previous 400V system in the EX90. The new system minimises heat buildup during charging, resulting in faster charge times and improved performance.

<p>Volvo India has finally announced  the prices for its third electric SUV, the EX30.&nbsp;The smallest and entry-level Volvo SUV carries a special festive price of Rs&nbsp;39.99 lakh for customers who book before October 19, 2025. After this period,&nbsp;the EX30 will be available at an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs&nbsp;41 lakh, with deliveries starting in early November 2025.&nbsp;Notably, the EX30 is the third electric vehicle&nbsp;from Volvo to be locally assembled at its Hosakote plant near Bengaluru.&nbsp;It comes with a comprehensive ownership package that includes an 8-year&nbsp;battery warranty, a free 11 kW wall box charger, and cutting-edge&nbsp;digital key technology via NFC and the Volvo Car App. Additionally,&nbsp;buyers benefit from 3 years of warranty, free servicing, roadside assistance,&nbsp;and 5 years of Volvo’s connected services.

Volvo EX30 Review: India’s Most Affordable Luxury EV? | autoX

The Volvo EX30 is here — and it promises to shake up the luxury EV market. With prices expected between ₹35–40 lakh (ex-showroom), it could be the most affordable luxury car in India!

<p>There was a time when electric vehicles had that certain X-factor, but with the recent onslaught of EVs coming from virtually all corners of the world, they have lost some of that charm. The problem is, they all look, feel, and to a great extent, drive the same. Otherworldly appearances, tech-laden cabins, and insane straight line speeds – it’s a common theme with all EVs. Truth be told, it’s becoming more and more difficult to distinguish one EV from another when it comes to their personalities.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-Front-Three-Quarter-1755495413867.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>So, if a car brand wants to set itself or its EV apart, they have to think out-of-the-box. Most manufacturers are well and truly on that path, including Volvo. Its latest EV, the EX30, is a brand-new product that is made entirely from the ground-up, and it claims to offer a new take on how Volvo or its EVs are perceived. But the question remains – does it have that extra something to stand out from the sea of EVs out there?</p>







<h2>Volvo EX30: Design &amp; Styling</h2>

<p>The EX30 is a compact-SUV EV and it’s going to be the most affordable offering by Volvo in the country, as and when its prices are announced. At first glance, it may look more like a hatchback than a compact SUV, but if you come to think of it, that’s not a criticism. Its proportions are tight and athletic, giving it a modern stance that balances tradition with futuristic appeal.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-Front-1755495423562.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-Front.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Signature Thor’s Hammer LED headlamps, split tail-lamps, and the clean surfacing are classic Volvo touches. And those 19-inch aero wheels add a sporty edge. The overall design is going to be one of the strongest reasons customers, especially the young crowd, will be drawn to it.</p>





<h2>Volvo EX30: Performance &amp; Range</h2>

<p>For India, the EX30 comes in a single variant featuring a 69kWh battery pack powering a rear-mounted electric motor. This setup produces 268bhp and 343Nm, enabling a 0–100km/h sprint in just 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 180km/h.</p>

<p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-Side-Profile-1755495324589.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-Side-Profile.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>On the road, the EX30 feels quick yet composed. It doesn’t have the neck-snapping acceleration of the twin-motor EX40, but it’s far from boring. The acceleration is brisk, and it doesn’t taper off even when you’re doing triple digit speeds. Refinement levels are excellent, and performance is effortless across all conditions. Volvo claims a 480km range on the WLTP cycle. In the real world, you can expect around 350–380km per charge, which should be more than adequate for daily use.</p>

<h2>Volvo EX30: Ride &amp; Handling</h2>

<p>What impressed me the most about the EX30 is its ride quality. On rough and uneven roads, the suspension absorbed bumps confidently without unsettling the cabin. The ride is firm, but never uncomfortable, and even big potholes only make themselves felt at low speeds.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-01-1755495474778.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-01.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>





<p>Handling is equally commendable. Despite being a heavy EV, the EX30 remains stable and composed through corners. Grip levels are impressive, and while the steering feels somewhat vague and lifeless, it still responds faithfully to inputs. Again, it won’t set your heart racing, but on a daily basis, it will keep you entertained.</p>

<h2>Volvo EX30: Interior, Features, &amp; Safety</h2>

<p>Inside, the EX30 follows a minimalistic approach, in line with Volvo’s design philosophy. The cabin feels airy and clean, with clever storage solutions and high levels of comfort up front. The electrically adjustable front seats offer excellent support and space. Technology and safety are big highlights.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1755495312430.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p> Level 2 ADAS comes standard, with multiple cameras, radars, and sensors. A 12.3-inch touchscreen powered by Google integrates wireless Apple CarPlay. Premium Harman Kardon audio, digital key, panoramic moonroof, and dual-zone climate control are all included.</p>







<h2>Volvo EX30: It's not perfect though…</h2>

<p>As good as the EX30 is, it has its share of oddities. Like many modern EVs, physical controls are almost entirely gone. Even basic functions like ORVM adjustments and the speedometer are buried in menus. Thankfully, though, the interface is intuitive.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-infotainment-screen-1755495404253.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-infotainment-screen.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>





<p>Among other irritations, there isn’t a physical key fob offered; instead Volvo provides only an NFC card or smartphone app. During our test, we only had the NFC card, which meant we had to swipe it every time to lock and unlock the vehicle – yes, there’s no keyless functionality either!But that’s not where it ends. You also need to put the NFC card at a designated space, next to the wireless charger, to turn the ignition on – all the time! So, essentially, there’s no keyless start/stop either. What’s more, in the name of minimalism, Volvo had made the cabin a little too quirky and impractical. For example, the power window switches have been moved from the doors to the centre console, while the glove box is tucked below the dashboard and can only be accessed from the touchscreen. And, lastly, there’s no driver display. All the information, including the speed, range, etc., is relayed through the touchscreen. You kind of feel that Volvo has gone a little too far…</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-03-1755495458008.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    The fit-and-finish levels, too, aren’t the best. While most of the materials used inside are sustainable, the dashboard plastics don’t feel very premium and come across as slightly tacky.</p>







<p>And, lastly, the rear seat experience – it is this Volvo’s Achilles Heel. The raised floor compromises legroom and knee room, forcing passengers into a knees-up position. For longer journeys, this will be uncomfortable.</p>

<h2>Verdict</h2>

<p>The biggest strength of the EX30 is going to be its pricing. Expected to fall between ₹35–40 lakh ex-showroom, it will not only be the most affordable Volvo, but also the most affordable luxury car in India. If Volvo can manage an on-road price in the ₹42–45 lakh range, the EX30 will become an extremely tempting proposition.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Volvo-EX30-Rear-Static-02-1755495341631.webp" alt="Volvo-EX30-Rear-Static-02.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>On the whole, the Volvo EX30 is a stylish, feature-rich, and fun-to-drive luxury EV. It’s perfect for young buyers or couples looking for their first premium electric car. However, if you’re after practicality and family-friendly space, you may want to look elsewhere…</p>
