The Swedish brand's first small electric crossover Sports Utility Vehicle is going to be one of the most affordable small Electric Vehicle on sale in Europe, with a promise to undercut prices of the Opel Mokka-e and Peugeot e-2008 by more than 3,000 euros
The adaptability of the EX30's design means that Volvo is also putting out high performance versions of the car. An all-wheel-drive variant will offer 422 horsepower, drawing from a 69kWh battery and two motors, one over each axle. It's a Volvo so as you would expect, it's packed with active safety features including the new door-opening alert as standard equipment, warning the car's occupant via visual and audio cues if they are about to open the door in front of a passing cyclist.
"We have prioritised what is important for the brand," Akhil Krishnan, Volvo's head of small car programs, was quoted as saying. "Instead of taking cost away from the interactive surfaces and materials, we have taken cost away from electronics and technology by making them simpler and more efficient."
