The All-New Volvo EX30 Cross Country: Where Adventure Meets Innovation

It's been 25 years since Volvo launched the pioneering V70 XC model, marking the birth of the Cross Country concept. This idea has since evolved into a hallmark of robust vehicles adept at tackling the challenges posed by Swedish climates—be it in urban settings or while navigating rugged terrains. Fast forward to today, and Volvo has seamlessly integrated this legacy into the electric age with the debut of the EX30 Cross Country, a compact SUV that embraces modern technology while honoring its heritage. One of the standout features of the EX30 Cross Country is its enhanced physical stature, boasting a ground clearance that is 19 mm higher than its regular EX30 counterpart, complemented by specially designed wheels and durable skid plates in the front and rear. The car's robust build is accentuated with widened wheel arches and an updated chassis structure, featuring a five-link rear suspension for a smoother driving experience. It arrives equipped with standard 19-inch black wheels, while adventurous drivers can opt for 18-inch All Terrain wheels as an accessory. Notably, the EX30 Cross Country proudly showcases a unique front design inscribed with the topography and coordinates of Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest peak, signaling its readiness for tough challenges. Under the hood, the EX30 Cross Country is powered by Volvo's Twin Motor Performance powertrain, delivering an impressive 428 horsepower and all-wheel drive capability. This powertrain ensures not only excellent off-road performance but also nimble maneuverability, enabling the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. Its 69 kWh battery promises a range of up to 436 kilometers under WLTP testing conditions, and with optimal circumstances, the battery can be fast-charged from 10% to 80% in just 26.5 minutes. Despite being Volvos smallest Cross Country model to date, measuring just over 4.2 meters in length, the EX30 Cross Country offers ample interior space for long-distance travel. The cargo area impressively spans 1000 liters with the rear seats folded, showcasing the model’s practicality. A panoramic roof is standard equipment, enhancing the cabin's spacious feel. Additional luxurious touches include Google services, Premium Sound from Harman Kardon, wireless phone charging, and wireless Apple CarPlay. Safety and visibility are also prioritized with LED headlights featuring active high beams, along with power-adjustable seats for both the driver and passenger. With the EX30 Cross Country, Volvo not only honors the rugged spirit of its Cross Country lineage but also leads the charge into an electrified future, marrying adventure-ready design with cutting-edge features. This model is set to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts and city dwellers alike, proving that versatility can indeed coexist with sustainability. Related Sources: • Source 1 • Source 2
