The new 2026 Volvo EX30 has arrived. This compact, fully electric SUV offers rapid performance, quick charging, modern Scandinavian styling, and the latest tech. It's now available in two feature-rich trim levels: Plus and Ultra. Let’s take a look at how these two trims compare.
Performance
Both the EX30 Plus and the EX30 Ultra give you two electric motor options to select from. The standard Single Motor Extended Range powertrain delivers a satisfying 268 horsepower, ensuring lively acceleration. Meanwhile, this SUV’s available Twin Motor Performance powertrain transforms it into one of the quickest Volvo models ever. It produces an exhilarating 422 horsepower. You can experience a breathtaking 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds. The Single Motor Extended Range powertrain features a rear-wheel-drive configuration. The Twin Motor Performance powertrain uses an all-wheel-drive setup.
Appearance
When it comes to exterior appearance, these two EX30 trims are virtually identical. The vehicle’s minimalist design attracts plenty of attention. While its aerodynamic front fascia with high-visibility LED lights will certainly catch your eye, expect the rear end to look just as modern. To accentuate the EX30’s athletic stance, Volvo equips it with a striking set of 19-inch aero wheels. A black roof adds another layer of style. There are several vibrant exterior colors available, including Cloud Blue and Vapour Grey.
Features
The EX30 Plus comes loaded with premium features. Volvo’s Google-powered infotainment system boasts a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. Ergonomic seats and two-zone automatic climate control promote an especially comfortable drive. A panoramic sunroof elevates the cabin’s luxuriousness. Other highlights include a Harman Kardon premium sound system, a power tailgate, wireless smartphone charging, and a suite of advanced safety technologies.
If you often find yourself navigating tight spaces, you’ll greatly benefit from the EX30 Ultra’s advanced parking aids. A 360-degree camera and Park Pilot Assist make the SUV easier to maneuver in crowded places. When traveling on the highway, Pilot Assist with Adaptive Cruise Control reduces driving fatigue. Low Speed Rear Autobrake and Lane Change Assist are included as well.
