Volvo EX30

Volvo EX30

Key Features

  • Starting at $40,345 MSRP*
  • Standard Drivetrain - fully electric, rear-wheel drive setup with 268 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque, or all-wheel drive setup with 422 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque
  • Range - Up to 261 miles
  • Seating Capacity - Up to 5 Passengers
  • Cargo capacity behind back seats - 11.2 cubic feet
  • Interior Headroom (Front/Rear) - 41.7 / 38.3 inches
  • Interior Legroom (Front/Rear) - 41.9 / 32.3 inches

Volvo's smallest pure electric vehicle is also the company's smallest-ever SUV, a city-sized vehicle that makes the most of interior and cargo space, while remaining maneuverable enough to easily parallel park in front of your favorite coffee shop. But unlike most small vehicles made for city dwellers, the EX30 boasts some seriously impressive performance capabilities. Buyers can opt for an all-wheel drive setup that produces a staggering 422 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Those are proper sports car numbers, but with the EX30, you don't have to sacrifice any practicality to have them. With its 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds, the EX30 is the fastest-accelerating Volvo of all time. For most small EVs, you have to choose between performance and range, but the EX30 is efficient enough to be able to offer both impressive performance and 253 miles of range. You get even more range with the standard drivetrain, up to 261 miles, and enough power that it will still go from 0 to 60 in just 5.1 seconds.

Like the rest of the Volvo lineup, the interior of the EX30 is a showcase of serene Scandinavian design. You can choose from five different "moods" for the ambient lighting, and there is an available Harman Kardon Premium Sound system with a 1040W output and front soundbar. There are multiple cargo areas, including a front load compartment and in-floor compartments, adding to the practicality of the small SUV. And in addition to its small size, there is available Park Pilot Assist, which allows the EX30 to park itself, a valuable tool for city living.

Volvo EX40

Volvo EX40

Key Features

  • Starting at $56,545 MSRP
  • Standard Drivetrain - all-electric single-motor RWD (248 horsepower / 310 lb-ft of torque) or all-electric dual-motor AWD (402 horsepower / 494 lb-ft of torque)
  • Range - Up to 296 miles
  • Seating Capacity - 5 Passengers
  • Cargo Capacity - 57.5 cubic feet
  • Interior Headroom (Front/Rear) 37.6 / 38.3 inches
  • Interior Legroom (Front/Rear) - 40.9 / 36.1 inches

If the EX40 looks familiar, that's because it's heavily based on the XC40, including the almost identical styling. The big difference between the two is the drivetrain, with the EX40 being the all-electric version of the two. It is available with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and 248 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque or 402 horsepower and 494 lb-ft of torque. In RWD form, the output is very similar to what you get in the SC40, but upgrading to the more powerful AWD drivetrain turns the EX40 into a genuine performance machine, with a 0-60 time of just 4.6 seconds.

Everything you love about the interior of the XC40 is here in the EX40, and the trim levels for both are the same as well. That means highly desirable options like the 13-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system can be found on the EX40 too. There is a variety of available interior colors and materials, including sustainably sourced upholstery. And there's one more feature that sets the EX40 apart from its gas-powered counterpart, and that is the under-hood storage compartment, made possible by the fact that the electric drivetrain doesn't need to use that space.

Volvo EX60

Volvo EX60

Key Features

  • Starting at $56,445 MSRP
  • Standard Drivetrain - all-electric single-motor RWD (369 horsepower / 354 lb-ft of torque) or all-electric dual-motor AWD (503 horsepower / 524 lb-ft of torque)
  • Range - Up to 400 miles
  • Seating Capacity - 5 Passengers
  • Cargo Capacity - 64.3 cubic feet
  • Interior Headroom (Front/Rear) - 41 / 40.6 inches
  • Interior Legroom (Front/Rear) - 41.7 / 37.4 inches

The EX60 is the newest model from Volvo, and it's an absolute technological powerhouse. The all-electric drivetrain comes with a standard rear-wheel-drive configuration, producing 369 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Opt for the all-wheel drive, and output increases to 503 horsepower and 524 lb-ft of torque, enough for a sports-car-like 0-60 time of just 4.4 seconds. But the drivetrain isn't just powerful; it's incredibly efficient too, making the 400-mile maximum range possible. Charging is similarly advanced, with charging from 0-100% possible on a home charger in just 8 hours, or 10-80% on a DC fast charger in an industry-leading 16 minutes.

The advanced technology in the EX60 isn't limited to the drivetrain either. The EX60 is the first vehicle in the world to get multi-adaptive seat belts, Volvo's latest safety innovation. Even the stereo is an impressive technological feat. A 21-speaker Bose system comes standard, but you can also upgrade to a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system with Dolby Atmos 3D immersive audio. The EX60 also comes with an evolved interpretation of Volvo's classic Scandinavian design aesthetic, blending clean lines and understated elegance with cutting-edge technology.

The flagship of the Volvo electric fleet, the EX90 is an update of everything you already love about the XC90. There are three all-electric drivetrains available, including a rear-wheel-drive configuration that makes 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, an all-wheel-drive configuration that produces 449 horsepower and 494 lb-ft of torque, and a performance AWD drivetrain that produces 670 horsepower and 642 lb-ft of torque. This last drivetrain makes the EX90 the most powerful production model ever made by Volvo, and this big and comfortable three-row SUV will go from 0-60 in just 4 seconds even. The battery is large, but the 800-volt architecture means it can charge from 10 to 80 on a DC fast charger in just 22 minutes.

The interior is spacious and well-appointed, with upholstery available in your choice of Nordico, Nappa leather, or a wool blend. State-of-the-art soundproofing makes for an incredibly quiet cabin, even for an EV. Available air suspension with Frequency Selective Damping makes for unbeatable ride comfort. There is even an available electrochromic panoramic roof that can switch from transparent to opaque instantly with the push of a button.
