The all new Volvo EX30 is now available to order now in selected markets and set to become a cornerstone of the strategic transformation the company are on. Already by mid-decade, Volvo aim for half of their global sales volumes to consist of fully electric cars and to reach an operating profit margin of 8-10 per cent. By 2030, they want to sell only fully electric models. The EX30 is set to be one of the best-selling models in coming years as the brand work towards those ambitions, and it will significantly contribute to Volvo’s growth and profitability objectives.
With the EX30, Volvo enter a new and fast-growing segment for our brand. There is a growing demand from consumers globally for small, fully electric premium SUVs. For example, many people living in the city are looking for a car that brings convenience and allows them to commute to work and get around, while doing so in a way that reflects who they are. The EX30 is also designed to be as safe as you’d expect from a Volvo car and aims to look after both you and others in hectic urban environments. It features a special safety feature for bikes that helps to prevent so-called ‘dooring’ accidents, by alerting you when you are about to open your door in front of a cyclist, scooter or runner. State-of-the-art protective safety tech further illustrates how Volvo have applied their high safety standards to the EX30.
The EX30 provides drivers with a true and capable SUV, born electric and packed with all the smart tech that they need. Combined with an attractive starting price of €38,596* in Ireland (including SEAI Grant & VRT Relief), this means customers get a premium fully electric SUV for a similar price to combustion engine-powered equivalents. And as if that wasn’t enough, data from Volvo’s initial analysis in two markets shows the total cost of ownership to be currently lower than any other fully electric Volvo car – and well ahead of much of the competition in the electric, small SUV segment.
“We know that price and cost of ownership is still one of the biggest challenges when people consider switching to an electric car,” said Jim Rowan, the chief executive. “With the Volvo EX30, we aim to bring premium, fully electric mobility to a much broader audience, helping to advance and speed up the transition to full electrification that our industry and society needs.”
With its convenient size, smart technology and different configurations to choose from, the Volvo EX30 is designed to appeal to a wide range of customers – each with their own preferences, needs and ways of life. That same flexibility and convenience is reflected in the way we structured the commercial offer. It is designed around convenience and freedom of choice. You decide how you want to access a Volvo EX30: through outright ownership, or through leasing. Volvo have focused on developing a simple, intuitive and smooth buying process via their online flagship store volvocars.com. Transparent online pricing without hidden fees, as well as an easy-to-understand offer, makes ordering a new Volvo EX30 a breeze.
That online sales process reflects Volvo’s ambition of creating the best possible customer experience, seamlessly merging online and offline channels. Regardless of whether you visit one of the retailers, walk into one of the new urban studios, head to the website or use the Volvo Cars app, everyone should get the same outstanding and meaningful experience.
