The EX30 lineup includes six trims.

Volvo EX30 Core
The Core version adds some features that enhance daily usability. Notable features include adaptive cruise control, a front cargo area, and a flexible trunk floor to better organize the available space.
Volvo EX30 Plus
With the Plus package, comfort features are further enhanced. It includes an electrically operated rear door that opens and closes, a high-end interior lighting system, and air quality monitoring in the cabin, along with the ability for remote pre-purification.
Volvo EX30 Ultra
At the top of the range is the Ultra model, which adds a fixed panoramic glass roof, the Park Pilot Assist system, and 360-degree Visual Park Assist with 3D visualization. The latter assists with parking by displaying a representation of the area around the vehicle on the screen.
Volvo EX30 Cross Country
Volvo EX30 Black Edition and Cross Country
The Black Edition stands out primarily for its dark-colored aesthetic finish, along with dedicated details and specific rims. The Cross Country version, on the other hand, takes the EX30 in a more rugged direction, featuring an adventurous crossover look and specialized features. Volvo presents these as variants of the EX30 family, separate from the regular lineup of trims.
Volvo EX30, Engines
Volvo’s lineup includes three versions. The P5 Electric is equipped with a 272 HP engine, rear-wheel drive, and a battery with a nominal capacity of 51 kWh. The claimed range reaches up to 337 km in the WLTP mixed cycle.
The P5 Long Range Electric retains 272 HP and rear-wheel drive, but it uses a larger battery with a nominal capacity of 69 kWh. In this case, the maximum claimed range increases to 475 km WLTP, making it the version with the greatest range in the standard lineup.
Volvo EX30 Interior
At the top is the P8 AWD Electric, equipped with two electric motors and all-wheel drive. The total power reaches 428 HP, while the battery has a nominal capacity of 69 kWh. The claimed range goes up to 450 km WLTP. Its performance is significantly better: it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, compared to 5.7 seconds for the P5 Electric and 5.3 seconds for the P5 Long Range.
For AC charging, Volvo specifies a power output of 11 kW: it takes approximately six hours to charge from 0 to 100% with a 51 kWh battery and eight hours with a 69 kWh battery. For DC charging, the P5 Electric can accept up to 150 kW, while versions equipped with a 69 kWh battery can handle 175 kW. Under favorable conditions, charging from 10 to 80% takes about 26 minutes on the P5 Electric and 27 minutes on the Long Range and AWD versions.
