MSRP: $34,950Use the table of contents to jump to a sectionOverviewEntry-level luxury EVs rarely arrive at a price that undercuts most non-luxury alternatives, but the 2025 Volvo EX30 subcompact electric luxury SUV makes a case for itself as the most accessible fully electric vehicle in the brand's lineup. The EX30 sits below the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge in Volvo's hierarchy, and is available with two powertrain configurations: a rear-wheel-drive Single Motor Extended Range and an all-wheel-drive Twin Motor Performance. If Scandinavian design and a compact footprint are high on the list of priorities for a buyer, then the EX30 makes for a compelling proposition.What's New for 2025?The 2025 EX30 is an all-new nameplate for Volvo. Five trim levels are available across two powertrain configurations: Core, Plus, and Ultra trims for the Single Motor Extended Range, and Plus and Ultra for the Twin Motor Performance. Volvo states that the EX30 carries the lowest lifecycle carbon dioxide footprint of any Volvo vehicle produced to date. The Twin Motor Performance reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, a figure no production Volvo vehicle has matched before.ExteriorThor's Hammer LED lighting appears at both ends, rendered in a narrower, more angular form than its interpretation on the larger XC40. Five exterior colors are offered: Moss Yellow, Cloud Blue, Vapour Grey, Crystal White, and Onyx Black. Core trims run on 18-inch wheels, while Plus and above gain 19-inch hoops. The EX30's upright stance and compact proportions reflect a silhouette that Volvo's design team described as a distillation of the brand's Scandinavian design language, and one look at the small SUV makes that claim unmistakable.2025-2026 Volvo EX30 in Vapour GreyVolvoInteriorFour leather-free interior design themes are available: Mist, Pine, Indigo, and Breeze. All of them use recycled and natural materials throughout, including an upholstery option derived from the denim recycling process. A 12.8-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen running Google Built-in, with native Google Maps and Google Assistant, is the primary interface on every trim.Wireless Apple CarPlay is also standard across the lineup. Five ambient lighting themes, each drawn from Swedish landscapes, come standard. The Plus trim adds a Harman Kardon premium sound system and a dual-tone panoramic roof, while Ultra gains a 360-degree camera with 3D view and the next-generation Park Pilot Assist semi-autonomous parking system.2025-2026 Volvo EX30 interiorVolvoPrice Range and Best Value TrimIn the 2025 Volvo EX30's price range, the Single Motor Extended Range Plus comes across as the best value trim, adding the Harman Kardon audio system and panoramic roof over the Core at a $3,950 premium.Trim LevelTrim NameMSRPBaseSingle Motor Extended Range Core$34,950Best ValueSingle Motor Extended Range Plus$38,900TopTwin Motor Performance Ultra$46,600Key SpecsPowertrainModelMotorHPTorqueTransmissionDrivetrainSingle Motor Extended RangeSingle rear motor268 hp253 lb-ftSingle-speed automaticRWDTwin Motor PerformanceDual motor422 hp400 lb-ftSingle-speed automaticAWDFuel Economy (MPGe)ModelCityHighwayCombinedRangeSingle Motor Ext.

But despite these, the EX30's starting price point undercuts the Mini Cooper SE Countryman and BMW iX1 while delivering comparable design, quality and a stronger EPA range figure than either. While the Single Motor Extended Range Plus is great value, packing the most useful features, the Twin Motor Performance gets you AWD and a quick sprint performance. The caveat being the price point that narrows the EX30's value argument considerably against the likes of the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia EV6.2025-2026 Volvo EX30 in Cloud BlueVolvoCompetitorsAudi Q4 e-tronBMW iX1Mini Cooper SE CountrymanHyundai Kona ElectricKia EV6
