Sweden is a land of contrasts—deep lakes, boundless forests, towering mountain ranges, and some of the harshest winters on Earth. It’s also home to some of the most innovative and enjoyable cars ever made. In keeping with this proud legacy, Volvo has unveiled the EX30 Cross Country, an all-electric SUV that is as rugged as it is refined. More than just a car, it’s an invitation to experience the great outdoors like never before.

A New Era for Cross Country

Revealed in the heart of the Swedish wilderness, during a fireside chat alongside renowned outdoor equipment brand Fjällräven, the EX30 Cross Country is engineered for those who crave big adventures in a small, capable SUV. With enhancements tailored for life beyond the city limits, it offers a new level of freedom to explore, whether in the pouring rain, under the summer sun, or across snow-covered landscapes.

Volvo’s Cross Country heritage dates back over 25 years, and this latest iteration continues the tradition of durable, all-weather vehicles. To further enhance the adventure, Volvo is launching an exclusive experience package for EX30 Cross Country buyers, providing access to essential accessories, specialized gear, and expert guidance on making the most of their journeys.

Designed for the City, Built for the Wild

At its core, the EX30 Cross Country retains the efficiency and innovation of the standard EX30, boasting an impressive range of up to 427km on a full charge and the ability to recharge from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes. But it is the rugged enhancements that set it apart. The ride height has been increased, allowing for better ground clearance on uneven terrain. Special, larger wheels provide additional stability, and buyers have the option to equip the SUV with 18-inch all-terrain tires, perfect for tackling countryside trails with ease.

Additionally, the EX30 Cross Country features standard all-wheel drive, ensuring superior traction in slippery conditions, whether navigating icy backroads or venturing onto muddy trails. This seamless transition between urban and off-road environments makes it an ideal choice for those who refuse to compromise between daily practicality and weekend adventure.

Volvo Ex30 Cross Country The Ultimate Adventure Companion

Rugged Looks with Scandinavian Elegance

Performance and resilience are at the heart of the EX30 Cross Country, but its design is just as compelling. The front shield and boot lid sport a striking dark finish, while a unique topographical artwork of the Arctic Swedish Kebnekaise mountain range adorns the front. Chunky skid plates and wheel arch extensions add a commanding presence, making it clear that this vehicle is built for adventure.

Inside, Volvo’s signature functional elegance is on full display. Smart storage solutions abound, from spacious door compartments to a versatile central storage tunnel that adapts to different needs. Rear passengers enjoy a removable, washable storage box, and the boot lid features a practical ‘Will it fit?’ guide, ensuring all your gear is packed efficiently. Every detail is designed to enhance the driving experience while maintaining Volvo’s high standards of quality and innovation.

Smart, Safe, and Seamlessly Connected

As expected from Volvo, safety remains a top priority. The EX30 Cross Country incorporates the latest protective and preventative technologies, including braking and steering assistance to help avoid collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. A built-in driver monitoring sensor ensures attentiveness, providing gentle alerts when fatigue or distraction is detected.

Connectivity is another strong suit, with Google built-in for seamless navigation via Google Maps, ensuring easy access to even the most remote locations. The Volvo EX30 app allows preconditioning of the cabin, so drivers can return to a warm, welcoming car after a long day exploring nature.

More Than a Car: A Complete Experience

Volvo understands that adventure goes beyond the vehicle itself. That’s why EX30 Cross Country buyers can opt for the Cross Country Experience package, offering exclusive accessories such as a load carrier, roof basket, 18-inch all-terrain tires, and mudflaps. Further offers will be announced, reinforcing Volvo’s commitment to creating an ecosystem that enhances exploration.

“As more people seek ways to reconnect with nature, our Cross Country Experience aims to support their adventures,” says Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo Cars. “We are not just offering a car—we are delivering a complete lifestyle that empowers customers to embrace the outdoors.”

Ready for Adventure

Blending safety, sustainability, and off-road capability, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country is the ultimate companion for those who refuse to be bound by city limits. Available to order now in select markets, with deliveries starting later this spring, the EX30 Cross Country is more than just an SUV—it’s a gateway to adventure.

Start your journey today by configuring your own Volvo EX30 Cross Country and embrace the great outdoors like never before.
