As we previously reported, the launch has taken place and the Volvo EX30 Cross Country has arrived.
The presentation took place in a small, secluded cabin in northern Sweden, in collaboration with the outdoor equipment brand Fjällräven.
A multifaceted 100% electric SUV
This is a 100% electric compact SUV and is presented as an experience, much more than a car. Although it's a city-capable SUV, you can drive it rain, shine or snow, such is the EX30 Cross Country's adaptability. It's also the first known 100% electric Cross Country on the car market.
If you like adventure and are a true nature lover, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country is the car for you. According to the Swedish brand, ‘it has a range of up to 427 kilometres and zero exhaust emissions, charging from 10 to 80% in just 26 minutes.’ Volvo adds that it is ‘higher than the original EX30 version and offers greater capacity to tackle challenging rough terrain.’
Volvo's Cross Country
This isn't Volvo's first Cross Country and it promises not to be the last. The first model in the Cross Country range appeared in 1997, with the V70 receiving the Cross Country in its name for the first time.
Since then, many of the Swedish brand's models have been reinforced with the Cross Country range. This nomenclature was designed to cope with the demanding Scandinavian climate and work in a wide variety of road conditions, from muddy tracks and snow to motorway driving, always with the elements of comfort and convenience that Volvo drivers have come to expect.
Technology and plenty of safety
Despite all the signs of adventure and challenges on the road, Volvo's renowned safety is not neglected in the EX30 Cross Country.
With high safety standards, it helps you avoid being involved in a collision. It contains braking and steering support to help you avoid collisions with oncoming vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, as well as a driver monitoring sensor.
Inside, the EX30 Cross Country is highly functional and contains all the clever technology, storage and design that made the original EX30 such a success from the moment it was unveiled. The doors contain large storage compartments, because the speakers have been removed and incorporated into the sound bar on the dashboard.
In terms of prices, it is expected to go on sale in Portugal for around 55,000 euros.
