Introducing the Volvo EX30 Cross Country: The Electric SUV for Swedish Terrain

Swedish car buyers have consistently set high expectations for their vehicles. Four-wheel drive capabilities and the performance needed to navigate both urban roads and rugged terrains are increasingly important to many. Given Sweden's harsh climate and extended winters, the reliability of a car under diverse weather conditions is crucial. Additionally, many Swedes engage in recreational activities, own summer houses, or pursue hobbies that demand a dependable vehicle. For over six decades, Volvo Cars has considered the needs of Swedish drivers while designing their automobiles. A prime illustration of this commitment is the Cross Country series, which has stood for 25 years as a symbol of robust and comfortable vehicles ready to tackle various challenges. For the first time, Volvo has introduced a fully electric model under the Cross Country banner—the Volvo EX30 Cross Country. **Enhanced Performance for Adventurous Journeys** The EX30 Cross Country features a ground clearance that is 19 mm higher than the standard EX30 model, ensuring better accessibility on uneven surfaces. This model showcases widened wheel arches and a refreshed chassis design, equipped with a five-link rear suspension intended to deliver a smoother driving experience. The car comes with standard black 19-inch wheels, with available accessories including 18-inch All-Terrain wheels for those looking for additional capability. Under the hood, the EX30 Cross Country is powered by two electric motors—one on the front axle and one on the rear axle—delivering efficient all-wheel drive and a formidable total output of 428 horsepower. The car is quick, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. It is fitted with a 69 kWh battery that offers a range of up to 436 kilometers as assessed by WLTP standards, along with the ability to fast-charge from 10 to 80 percent in only 26.5 minutes under optimal conditions. **Compact Yet Spacious** Despite being the smallest model in Volvo's Cross Country lineup at just over 4.2 meters long, the EX30 Cross Country doesn't skimp on space. With the rear seats folded down, it boasts a cargo capacity of 1,000 liters—making it versatile for carrying both passengers and gear. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with modern conveniences such as a panoramic roof, Google services, a Harman Kardon sound system, wireless phone charging, and Apple CarPlay. Standard features also include LED headlights with active high beams and power-adjustable seats. As the automotive landscape shifts towards electrification, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country stands out as a testament to the brand's commitment to meeting the high expectations of Swedish drivers. With its combination of performance, practicality, and innovative features, it is designed not only for the challenges of Sweden’s diverse terrains but also for the environmentally conscious consumer who refuses to compromise on capability.
