Volvo just recently revealed its EX60 electric SUV, and with it, it seemed as though Volvo was going to have a complete electric range from the entry-level EX30 to the large EX90. That will likely still be the case, but only briefly and while supplies of the EX30 last. The reason is that, as discovered by The Drive, Volvo is discontinuing the EX30 for the U.S.Volvo It Won't Last Long We reached out to Volvo for confirmation about the little SUV's discontinuation, and a company representative told us the following:"Volvo Car USA has decided to end sales of the EX30 and EX30 Cross Country in the US market after the 2026 model year. The EX30 will remain available in other markets globally, including Canada and Mexico. Volvo Cars’ commitment to electrification and our customers remains unchanged, and we look forward to continuing to bring exciting new electrified options to our customers in the US, including the all-new EX60 and upgraded EX90." -Volvo representativeAccording to The Drive, the EX30 will still be available for a little while, reporting that orders are open until March 20, and existing orders will still be delivered. As such, there should be remaining inventory at Volvo dealers for some months into the future.Volvo The Decision Is, And Isn't, Surprising The decision to drop the EX30 is a bit of a surprise for a few reasons. For one, the EX30 has started to pick up sales traction. The company sold 5,409 examples in 2025, nearly 40% more units than either the EX90 or the V60, though still a ways behind bigger sellers like the XC90 and XC60. Additionally, Volvo seemed to be committing to the model with the introduction of the Cross Country variant, which featured slightly tougher looks and chunky tires. That model just went on sale in January. A more affordable single-motor model was even on the way.Though Volvo didn't give a specific reason for ending the EX30 in the U.S., we suspect it may be at least partially related to tariffs. Tariffs have plagued the model since its initial global launch. The first models all came from a Volvo plant in China, and right around the time that it was going to come to America, the Biden administration passed steep tariffs on Chinese-built EVs. Volvo wouldn't have been able to make money on their entry-level EV with those tariffs, so it had to hold off until European-built models were available, which didn't happen until last April.Jared Rosenholtz/CarBuzz/ValnetThen, the Trump administration implemented tariffs on European-made cars, though not as high as the ones against Chinese cars. Those tariffs settled down to 15% about halfway through 2025. That will of course apply to the new EX60, but that model will almost certainly sell in higher numbers and at higher prices, making it easier for Volvo to take the tariff hit. A small-margin, low-priced model like the EX30 doesn't have that ability, especially when its growing sales are still far off larger, more mainstream models. We'll Miss The Funky Little Swede From the start, we were enamored with the chunky, boxy styling of the EX30, and that love continued to the Cross Country version. It was a lovable and distinctive design. The interior was cool, too, with unique materials including recycled plastic trim and real metal door handles. Other parts had cool elements, such as the air vents with highly detailed adjustment tabs and transparent slats. Of course, we also enjoyed how silly quick it was. With the dual-motor powertrain, it made a whopping 422 horsepower and would get to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, making it the quickest Volvo ever sold in America.That's not to say it didn't have its drawbacks. Its tiny exterior also made for a tiny interior, which was comfortable for front occupants, but basically useless for anyone in the back. Cargo space wasn't great, either. The interior controls weren't amazing either, since everything from instruments to climate controls were handled by the single center screen. Also, the price was relatively high considering how small it was. Still, it was fun to look at, and to drive, and, for that, we'll miss it.
