Key Takeaways
- By the end of 2024, Volvo now anticipates delivering the EX30 to the US.
- To get it that fast, you’ll need to get the Twin Motor Performance variant.
- Not until 2025 will the single-motor variant be available for purchase.
According to Volvo, the EX30 EV will be delivered to US consumers by the end of 2024, surpassing the 2025 deadline.
The Twin Motor Performance model, which starts at $44,900 and is the most popular configuration, is the focus of the automaker’s deliveries. The single-motor variant will still not be available until 2025, with a starting price of $36,245.
If Volvo hasn’t already, they ought to ask you to configure your dual-motor EX30 online if you have one on preorder. The “base” Plus trim of the Twin Motor Performance vehicle comes equipped with a rear camera, ambient lighting, and a panoramic roof. A 360-degree camera and driver assistance for parking, lane changes, and partial highway navigation are supplementary features that come with the Ultra.
Due to worries that EV tariffs imposed on China would impact the vehicle, Volvo initially postponed the US launch of the EX30 until 2025. Since Geely is a Chinese parent company, any units made in China may see significant price increases. Beginning in 2025, it will be manufactured in Belgium, which may reduce disagreements.
Volvo’s smallest and least expensive EV is the EX30. Even though its size is a potential drawback when compared to the XC40, it has been incredibly well-liked in the markets where it is now offered. Demand for the EX30 has been second only to that of the Tesla Model Y, even in a declining European EV market.
In general, the electric crossover has been one of Volvo’s most popular vehicles. It was the company’s fourth best-selling vehicle in August, after the XC60 SUV and the gas and electric versions of the XC40.
Demand in North America, where larger SUVs and pickups are more common, may not translate to Europe or other places. Additionally, there are worries that new models, such as Chevy’s $35,000 Equinox EV, may present fierce competition for buyers who choose range and affordability over style. Nevertheless, if you’ve been wanting the EX30 but didn’t want to wait months or longer to receive it, this is wonderful news.
