Intelligently Safe

In conceptualising the car, Volvo designers worked on the basis that every moment matters – every idea, design, material choice, calculation, and test – to make a car that is meant for every journey and every person both within and around the car.

The EX30 comes equipped with Volvo’s full Safe Space Technology suite and advanced driver assistance systems shared with Volvo’s top-of-the-line cars – enabled by radars, ultrasonic sensors and cameras located around the car.

In fact, the EX30 adds even more safety features, including:

• An innovative door opening alert that detects bikes or other road users from behind and warns occupants with visual and audio alarms when attempting to open the door.
• Upgraded Pilot Assist that also adjusts the optimum distance from large vehicles on the highway.
• Automatic braking for front cross traffic, intersection turns, and low speed reversing.
• Automatic steering avoidance for vulnerable road users such as bikers travelling next to the lane and in the same direction.

The Volvo EX30 is also the first to include a new generation of Volvo’s Park Pilot Assist feature that can handle parallel, curved, perpendicular and diagonal fishbone parking spaces. Park Pilot Assist can automatically identify available parking spaces and take over the accelerator, brakes and steering to manoeuvre the car.

Personalised for Life

The EX30 blends chic Scandinavian minimalism with uncompromising safety, and its city-focused design is intended for a new generation of Volvo owners who live or commute in the city, value style and sustainability, and whose active lifestyle demands practical and effortless driving for multiple destinations in the same day.

The EX30’s urban-friendly size makes navigating busy city streets and tight parking spaces a breeze, while a low hood, extra-wide headlights and fenders, large wheels, and 171 mm of ground clearance adds to a confident look that never looks out of place at any office, gym, social club or urban destination.

The EX30 boasts a clean, minimalist cabin enhanced with five interior ambient light themes inspired by Swedish nature for every mood, featuring calming, shifting shades projected on the interior panels. For extra immersion, owners can pair each lighting theme with an ambient soundscape.

The EX30 is also Volvo’s first car to introduce Harman Kardon Premium Sound within a single soundbar unit embedded in the dashboard. Inspired by home audio design, the soundbar frees up valuable space in the front doors while reducing weight and material resources without compromising high-fidelity, driver-focused audio.

The EX30 maximises every interior space, with smarter storage solutions such as:

• Inbuilt wireless phone charging slot that keeps up to two phones in place, and flexible central storage that can easily fit a handbag
• Sliding cupholder and storage that can be fully tucked away under the central armrest
• Large door pockets replacing traditional door speakers
• Removable rear storage box under the central armrest that doubles up as a trash bin
• Rear luggage space of 318 litres with all seats up or 718 litres with the second-row split seats fully folded⁴, easily accommodating golf bags, flat-pack furniture and baby strollers
• 61 litres of hidden rear storage under the flexible load floor which can also be used to hide valuable cargo like laptops
• A handy “Will it Fit?” graphic on the power tailgate with intuitive examples of what can be transported with ease

The Volvo EX30 is the only sub-compact SUV with Google built-in, now enhanced with wireless Apple AirPlay for seamless connectivity. It also comes with a dedicated phone app that can be used to lock and unlock the car, set charging levels, and manage settings remotely.
