Key Features of the 2026 Volvo EX30

Twin Motor Performance

For drivers who want maximum acceleration and enhanced traction, the EX30 Twin Motor Performance pairs front and rear motors with the 69.0 kWh battery. The result is instant torque and an exhilarating 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds, or 3.5 seconds on Cross Country models. The system defaults to rear-wheel drive for efficiency but brings both motors online seamlessly for grip and stability when needed. A selectable Performance All-wheel Drive mode lets you prioritize continuous AWD. In daily use, one-pedal drive adds polish to the experience by allowing confident speed modulation with the accelerator and assertive regeneration as you lift off, contributing to control on hills and in stop-and-go traffic.

Single Motor Extended Range

The Single Motor Extended Range powertrain balances smooth power delivery and superb efficiency, offering up to 272 hp and an EPA-estimated range of up to 261 miles when equipped with 19-inch wheels. An advanced motor inverter elevates energy efficiency, while one-pedal drive enables precise control. This configuration suits commuters and road-trippers who value long legs between charges and composed handling. It also maintains the EX30’s towing capability of up to 2,000 pounds and its flexible cargo usability — up to 12.4 cubic feet in the trunk with the second row up, and up to 27.8 cubic feet with seatbacks folded, including a 2.2-cubic-foot compartment under the floor. Consider this the sweet spot for Colorado households who want easy charging rhythm and a right-sized footprint.

DC Fast Charging 10-80% in 26.5 minutes

Time matters, and the EX30 is engineered to minimize it. At a compatible DC fast charger providing up to 153 kW, the EX30 can charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 26.5 minutes. Battery pre-conditioning automatically prepares the pack en route to the charger when a station is set as your destination in Google Maps, helping ensure the battery reaches an optimal temperature for faster charging. A helpful charging reminder at 20 percent state-of-charge prompts planning. With an included NACS Fast Charging Adapter, EX30 drivers can access more than 23,000 additional DC fast chargers across North America, expanding road-trip flexibility. Around-town charging is equally simple — use Google built-in to locate nearby stations, see availability, and view estimated arrival charge levels, then route with confidence.

Advanced Sensing Technology, Pilot Assist, and 360° Camera with 3D View

Volvo’s reputation for safety innovation informs every EX30. Advanced sensing technology underpins driver support features including Adaptive Cruise Control, Pilot Assist for supportive lane-centering and distance control, Park Pilot Assist to simplify parallel and perpendicular parking, and a 360° camera with 3D View to visualize surroundings from multiple angles. High-visibility LED Thor’s Hammer headlights deliver a wide, segmented light pattern with automatic high/low beam management, while C-shaped rear lights sit flush to the body for a seamless look and improved visibility. These systems come together to reduce stress, heighten awareness, and lend confidence in tight downtown spaces, busy school lanes, and on long highway drives.

Google built-in and Wireless Apple CarPlay®

In the EX30, your apps and services feel native rather than tacked on. Google built-in integrates Google Assistant for voice commands, Google Maps for navigation and charging visibility, and Google Play for curated apps. The interface is crisp and intuitive, with updates that help keep features feeling fresh. Wireless Apple CarPlay® comes standard, making it easy to bring your iPhone into the experience for music, messages, and navigation. Thoughtful touches like a panoramic roof option, aerodynamic and lightweight wheel designs, and a black roof with coordinated spoiler reinforce the EX30’s Scandinavian minimalism outside, while inside the layout maximizes utility for five, with smart storage solutions and a power-operated tailgate available for effortless loading.
