For the interior of the EX30, Volvo has decided to adopt a minimalist route similar to Tesla. Instead of having multiple screens, there is only one 12.3-inch central screen that provides all the driving data to the driver while acting as the infotainment centre display at the same time.With a total power output of 428hp and 543Nm torque, Volvo claimed that the EX30 Twin Motor Performance model could accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds.
As for the Single Motor variant, the output is much more modest at 272hp alongside a maximum torque of 343Nm. The century sprint timing for the standard version is 5.7 seconds while the Extended Range version is slightly quicker at 5.3 seconds, although regardless of the EX30 variant that you prefer, the top speed has been electronically limited to 180km/h.
The Single Motor model also features an onboard 11kW AC charger and takes around 6 hours to be fully charged from 0% to 100%. When plugged into a 134kW DC fast charger, it takes around 26 minutes for the EV’s battery to go from 10% to 80%.Meanwhile, the Single Extended Range and Twin Motor Performance variants receive a much more powerful onboard 22kW AC charger that allows them to cut off the AC charging time to as low as 4 hours.
Aside from being the most compact and quickest Volvo SUV around, the EX30 is also the company’s cheapest fully electric model to date, given its starting price tag of EUR36,000 . It remains to be seen whether VCM is able to price the new model at around RM200,000 over here but there is a high chance that it will spice up the market if the Swedish marquee is able to pull that off.
