Volvo’s smallest and most affordable electric SUV, the EX30, was the third top-selling EV in Europe last year, behind Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3. Now, you can finally snag one in the US.
Volvo EX30 becomes a top-seller as US deliveries kick-off
After delivering the first models in late 2023, the Volvo EX30 quickly became one of Europe’s top-selling electric cars. By August, the EX30 was the second top-selling EV in the region, trailing only the Model Y.
Starting at around 36,000 euros ($37,200), Volvo’s compact electric SUV is among the most affordable options in its segment. In comparison, the Tesla Model Y starts at $44,990 in Europe.
According to the latest data from market researcher Jato Dynamics, the Volvo EX30 was the third-best-selling EV model in 2024, with over 78,000 registrations. It followed only the Tesla Model Y (209,214) and Model 3 (112,789).
Volvo said it expected the EX30 to be a “game-changer” after unveiling it in 2023, but I don’t think many saw it happening this quickly.
The EX30 outsold the Skoda Enyaq (68,874) and Volkswagen’s ID.4 (64,756) and ID.3 (54,531) models. Volvo’s EX40 was number 13, with 39,955 registrations, down 21% from 2023.
US prices and specs
Volvo announced prices for its 2025 lineup last month, including the new EX30. The 2025 EX30 Twin Motor Performance starts at $44,900. Opting for the Ultra trim costs an extra $1,700, starting at $46,600, which gains added Park Pilot Assist, 360-degree camera with a 3D view, Pilot Assist, and other features.
Optional features include a Retractable Trailer Hitch (+$1,830), Load Bars (+$400), Front Mud Flaps ( +$200), Protection Package Premier (+$685), Panoramic Roof Sunshade (+$200), and the Climate Package (+$500).
The EX30 Twin Motor Performance, with up to 422 hp, is Volvo’s fastest-accelerating vehicle yet, sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Both models have an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 253 miles. With 153 kW DC fast charging, the EX30 can charge from 10% to 80% in 26.5 minutes.
Despite its smaller size, the EX30 is still loaded with the tech and safety features we expect from the Volvo brand.

The interior setup includes a 12.3″ tablet-style infotainment with Google built-in, ergonomic seats, clever storage options, and more.
At 167″ long, 72″ wide, and 61″ tall with a wheelbase of 104″, the EX30 is about the size of a Chevy Bolt EV (163″ long x 70″ wide x 62″ tall), which is no longer available (for now, at least).
Volvo said the lower-priced Single Motor EX30 model will arrive in the US later this year, starting at around $34,950.
The EX90, Volvo’s first three-row electric SUV (see our review), is also now available in the US, starting at $79,995. Powered by a 111 kWh battery, the 2025 Volvo EX90 gets up to 310 miles range with fast charging (10% to 80%) in about 30 minutes.
Volvo’s XC40 Recharge has been renamed the EX40 to match the new models rolling out. The 2025 Volvo EX40 starts at $52,500, while the Twin Motor AWD variant costs $54,250.
