What?
Volvo has started delivering its smallest electric offering, the EX30, to Australian car dealers. The EX30 is an electric small SUV that has generated significant interest with over 500 deposits collected within the first few weeks of opening order books. It comes in EV-only form and is built on the Geely EV-only SEA platform, making it the model with the smallest lifetime carbon footprint in Volvo’s lineup. The car features a minimalist interior design and is positioned as a competitor to Tesla models.
So What?
The arrival of the Volvo EX30 in dealer showrooms marks a significant milestone in Volvo’s journey towards becoming an electric-only brand in Australia by 2026. The EX30 offers impressive comfort, roominess, and eco-friendliness compared to its petrol counterparts. With the growing interest in electric vehicles, Volvo’s expansion into the electric market with models like the EX30 showcases a commitment to sustainability and innovation.
What’s next?
As Volvo continues its electric vehicle rollout, the next model to look out for is the large EX90 SUV, set to launch later in the year. Customers who missed the initial order window for the EX30 may experience delays in receiving their vehicles due to high demand. With competitive pricing and specifications, Volvo is poised to attract environmentally conscious consumers looking for stylish and sustainable transportation options.
