Volvo ventures into the snowy, untamed Swedish wilderness to unveil its latest model, the EX30 Cross Country

Volvo has expanded its line-up with the introduction of the EX30 Cross Country, a new model that combines the best of electric vehicles (EV) and outdoor adventure.

The EX30 Cross Country is more than just a car; it's an "experience," as Volvo describes it. This lightly upgraded version of the EV boasts a more rugged appearance, designed to dispel any confusion and give the car a durable, outdoorsy image.

The front of the EX30 Cross Country EV features a blanked-out area with a map graphic of the Arctic Swedish Kebnekaise mountain range, adding to its adventurous aesthetic. Subtle Cross Country branding can be found on the front and rear, ensuring the vehicle's identity remains intact.

The EX30 Cross Country EV is equipped with a 69kWh battery, which allows for fast-charging capabilities, and offers a maximum range of 265 miles (427km). This makes it suitable for winter cabins and various outdoor adventures, with the option of 18-inch all-terrain tyres for added traction.

Inside, the EX30 Cross Country model offers clever storage solutions, hard-wearing textile seats, dashboard, and door cards. The interior is designed to be flexible in use, providing comfort and functionality for all types of journeys.

The EX30 Cross Country EV has already garnered praise, being considered one of the best small EVs. It has even won a Smart Space award from a certain website, recognising its innovative design and practicality.

Volvo partnered with Swedish outdoor brand Fjällräven for the launch event, further emphasising the EX30 Cross Country's connection to the outdoors.

Interested buyers can configure the EX30 Cross Country EV on Volvo's official website. The price of the Volvo EX30 Cross Country in Sweden starts at approximately €57,000 according to premium variant pricing details. The Cross Country version features higher ground clearance, offroad look, and all-wheel drive, making it a suitable choice for those seeking an adventurous electric vehicle.

While the EX30 was never billed as an estate car, it doesn't claim much SUV-ness either. However, with its rugged design and versatile features, the EX30 Cross Country EV is certainly carving out a unique niche in the EV market.
