Volvo’s new electric SUV, the EX30, will reach U.S. customers earlier than initially planned, following a surge in pre-order demand, the automaker confirmed. Deliveries of the EX30, which is Volvo’s smallest and most affordable electric vehicle, are now set to begin in late 2024, a shift from its previously anticipated 2025 debut.
The move comes after high interest in the EX30 Twin Motor Performance variant, which Volvo identified as the model’s most popular version. Starting at $44,900, this dual-motor variant offers 422 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, marking it as Volvo’s fastest vehicle to date.
Customers seeking the EX30 with a single motor, priced at $34,950, will be able to order that model later in 2025. Volvo noted that the Twin Motor version’s range is approximately 253 miles per charge, while the Single Motor variant provides up to 275 miles. The EX30 also includes fast-charging capabilities, reaching 80% charge in just over 25 minutes.
“Volvo has been and always will be about people, which is why we worked hard to make the Volvo EX30 available sooner than anticipated for our customers,” said Mike Cottone, President of Volvo Cars U.S. and Canada, emphasizing the company’s commitment to customer demand.
Previously delayed due to new U.S. tariffs on electric vehicle imports from China, where the EX30 is manufactured, Volvo plans to ramp up production at its facility in Ghent, Belgium, to meet demand while offsetting additional costs. The EX30 has already gained traction in other markets, ranking as Volvo’s third best-selling model globally in September and the second best-selling electric vehicle in Europe behind Tesla’s Model Y in August.
