Volvo EX30 Cross Country: Mechanical Core

Mechanically, this version maintains the dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) system found in the standard EX30, delivering 422bhp of maximum power and 543Nm of peak torque. It is powered by a 64kWh battery pack, which Volvo estimates will offer a driving range of 427 km per charge. The EX30 Cross Country can go from 0 to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds. 

With DC fast-charging capability, the battery can be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent within just 26 minutes, according to Volvo. 

Volvo EX30 Cross Country: Cabin and Features

Coming to the cabin, the Cross Country offers the same layout as the standard model, boasting a 12.3-inch Google-driven touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a full-width soundbar, and other high-tech amenities.

In terms of safety, the model incorporates cutting-edge safety tech such as automated steering and braking assistance to mitigate the risk of crashes involving cars, pedestrians, as well as cyclists. Additionally, a driver monitoring system provides alerts when it detects potential fatigue or lapses in attention.
