Volvo EX30 2025 is finally making its way to the Indian market. This compact electric SUV is already creating buzz around the world. And now, it’s ready to win hearts in India too. If you are someone who’s thinking about switching to an EV, this one might just be the right pick. Let’s talk in simple words about everything you need to know.
India launch update
Volvo has officially confirmed that EX30 will be launched in India by the end of 2025. Most likely, it will hit the market around October. The company plans to bring it as a CKD unit, which means they will assemble the car in India itself. This will help keep the price more affordable for Indian buyers.
Price expectations
The expected price of the Volvo EX30 in India is somewhere between ₹40 to ₹50 lakh (ex-showroom). Now, it may sound a bit expensive, but considering it’s a premium electric SUV packed with features, the price feels justified. If Volvo manages to keep it below ₹45 lakh, it will be a strong contender in the market.
Battery options and range
Volvo is offering two battery choices globally. First is the 51 kWh battery that gives a range of around 337 km. Second is the bigger 69 kWh battery which can take you around 476 km on a single charge. India will most likely get the larger battery version. There’s also a dual-motor option which makes it even faster. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. That’s proper fast for a car of this size.
Charging time
When it comes to charging, the EX30 supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW. That means you can charge it from 10 to 80 percent in around 25 to 30 minutes. For daily use, it also supports home AC charging. That will take longer, around 8 to 10 hours for a full charge.
Stylish and compact design
The design of the EX30 is one of its biggest highlights. It’s compact yet muscular. It has that Scandinavian style Volvo is known for. The front comes with signature Thor’s Hammer LED lights. The rear has vertical tail lamps. You can get it in multiple fun colors. It’s a head-turner for sure.
Interior and cabin quality
Inside, it’s clean and minimal. Volvo has gone with sustainable materials like recycled plastics, flax, and old denim. There’s a large 12.3-inch vertical touchscreen in the middle. That’s your main control center. No clutter, no confusion. It supports Google built-in, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The sound system is from Harman Kardon, so you can expect good music quality.
Tech and features
Volvo EX30 is loaded with tech. You get wireless charging, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, and a smart digital key. It also comes with a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and park assist. Safety is top-notch. Volvo is known for it. It comes with multiple airbags, driver alert system, blind spot warning, and emergency braking. Basically, it keeps you and your family safe.
Performance and drive feel
Even though it’s a small SUV, the EX30 doesn’t feel underpowered. The single motor version is smooth and quick. The dual motor version is more exciting. It gives you more grip and faster acceleration. It also has different drive modes to suit your mood. Whether you’re driving in the city or on a highway, the EX30 handles really well.
Rivals in India
Once launched, the EX30 will compete with cars like Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, BMW iX1, and BYD Seal. It may also challenge the Mercedes EQA and upcoming EVs from Audi. But Volvo’s pricing, safety, and design will give it an edge in this segment.
