Volvo EX30 Cross Country All-Electric Off-Roader Revealed

Volvo has revealed the EX30 Cross Country and yes, it is meant to be an all-electric off-roader. Volvo began the ‘Cross Country’ series in 1997 and now in the electric age, the company is passing on the baton, starting with the EX30. The front shield of the car and the boot lid get a special dark colour and the chunky front and rear skid plates as well as wheel arch extensions complete the more rugged look.

Inside, the EX30 Cross Country contains all the clever tech, storage and design that made the original EX30 such a hit from the moment we revealed it. The doors contain large storage compartments, because Volvo has removed the speakers and incorporated them into the soundbar on the dashboard. 

A versatile central storage tunnel between driver and passenger can be slid out as a cupholder for your morning coffee or your travel mug, or back if you need to store more things. There’s also a big storage compartment on the floor between driver and passenger. The glove compartment has been placed beneath the centre console, providing easy access for both driver and passenger.

Rear passengers get a neat storage box that slides out from beneath the central tunnel. This box is also removable and washable, so can double up as a waste bin. At the rear, on the boot lid. 

The EX30 Cross Country has Google built in. That means you get a variety of Google products as standard – including Google Maps, one of the best mapping systems in the world.

The EX30 Cross Country is fully electric, with a range of up to 427km and zero tailpipe emissions, and can be charged from 10-80 per cent in as little as 26 minutes.
