Introducing the Volvo EX30 Cross Country: Designed for Sweden's Harsh Conditions

Swedish car buyers have long demanded vehicles that can handle the rigors of both urban traffic and rural challenges, especially given Sweden's tough climate and prolonged winters. Reliance on a dependable car in various weather conditions is paramount, as many Swedes also have recreational interests that necessitate access to reliable transportation, such as summer cottages. In response to these needs, Volvo Cars has been dedicated to understanding and meeting the demands of Swedish drivers for decades. One significant innovation is the Cross Country concept, which has embodied robustness and comfort for 25 years, evolving alongside the changing driving landscape. Now, for the first time, Volvo has introduced an all-electric vehicle under the much-respected name: the Volvo EX30 Cross Country. The EX30 Cross Country is tailored for enhanced accessibility and performance. It features a ground clearance of 19mm higher than the standard EX30 model, allowing for improved maneuverability on rough terrain. This model includes widened wheel arches and an upgraded chassis structure with a five-link rear suspension, ensuring a comfortable driving experience. It comes standard with striking black 19-inch wheels, with an option for 18-inch All Terrain wheels for enthusiasts seeking extra capability. This new electric vehicle is powered by two motors—one on the rear axle and one on the front, resulting in efficient four-wheel drive with a total output of 428 horsepower. The performance specs are impressive, with the EX30 Cross Country capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The 69 kWh battery offers an impressive range of up to 436 kilometers according to WLTP standards, and under optimal conditions, it can fast charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 26.5 minutes. Despite being Volvo's smallest Cross Country model at just over 4.2 meters in length, the EX30 Cross Country does not compromise on interior space. It boasts a considerable cargo capacity of 1000 liters with the rear seats down, ideal for transporting gear and supplies. The car is well-equipped with a panoramic roof, access to Google services, a premium Harman Kardon sound system, wireless phone charging, and Apple CarPlay. Safety and convenience features include LED headlights with active high beam and power-adjustable seats, ensuring a seamless driving experience. In conclusion, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country is engineered with the Swedish driver in mind—combining performance, versatility, and advanced technology to meet the needs of those who require a vehicle that thrives in challenging environments. It’s not only a small SUV; it’s a companion for big adventures. Related Sources: • Source 1 • Source 2
