Volvo, with its new distributor Hariphil Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), launches the first fully electric subcompact SUV, the EX30. Designed for people and planet, the new Volvo EX30 combines everything great about Volvo vehicles. It features cutting-edge technology, world-renowned safety, and the lowest carbon footprint of any Volvo car to date.

EFFICIENT POWERDelivering 272 horsepower and 343 Nm of torque to the rear wheels, the EX30 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds. It offers energy efficiency as low as 17.5 kWh per 100 kilometers, paired with rapid DC fast charging that reaches 80% in only 26.5 minutes.

SAFETY, AS ALWAYSAs with every Volvo, advanced safety features come standard. Pilot Assist helps manage speed and distance to vehicles ahead while providing steering assistance and prompts as needed. It can escalate warnings if the driver is unresponsive. Paired with Driver Attention Monitoring, it analyzes driving behavior to detect signs of fatigue or reduced focus, issuing alerts via sound and messages in the driver information display.The Collision Avoidance System enhances safety by delivering audio and visual warnings, along with brake pulse alerts, when a collision risk is detected. In critical situations, it can brake automatically or steer the car to help avoid or reduce potential impacts.

SOPHISTICATED EXPERIENCEThe EX30 offers serene design with nature-inspired colors, tactile finishes, and four interior themes crafted with renewable materials. Its ambient lighting features five Scandinavian-inspired modes, complemented by Harman Kardon® immersive audio. An advanced climate system ensures a fresh and comfortable cabin with air quality monitoring and remote pre-cleaning. The interior also offers versatile storage, including a 61-liter underfloor compartment, 318 liters with the rear seats up, and 904 liters when folded. Five ergonomic seats with discreet ISOFIX attachments ensure safety and comfort for all passengers.

SUSTAINABILITY BUILT, EXCEPTIONALLY DESIGNEDThe EX30 is built with sustainability at its core. Manufactured in a factory powered by climate-neutral energy, it integrates sustainable materials throughout its design. Approximately 25% of the aluminum and 17% of the steel used in its production is recycled. The interior showcases smarter materials like denim, flax, wool-blend fabrics containing 70% recycled polyester, and plastics, 17% of which are recycled — a Volvo record.
