Volvo EX30 Price
If someone told me Volvo would soon have a full-fledged luxury electric SUV priced well under ₹40 lakh, I’d have… well, probably laughed politely and changed the topic. Turns out, the joke’s on past me: the Volvo EX30 has landed in India at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹39.99 lakh, and frankly, it’s a game-changer for folks eyeing their first upmarket EV.
But wait, here’s the catch—this “festive price” is only for bookings made before October 19, 2025. After that, the EX30 hops up to ₹41 lakh (which, honestly, still keeps it in the lowest price bracket of entry-luxury electric SUVs). Deliveries begin the first week of November—so not much waiting around.
Funny story—my cousin, a lifelong bargain hunter, swore she’d never consider something with a luxury badge, but now she’s asking about wallbox chargers and how to score festive pricing. Don’t wait too long; Volvo’s clearly aiming to make this an “act now or regret later” deal.
| Model | Ex-Showroom Price (India) | Claimed Range | Power (bhp) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volvo EX30 (early bird) | ₹39.99 lakh | 480 km | 268 |
| Hyundai Ioniq 5 | ~₹46 lakh | 481 km | 217 |
| BYD Atto 3 | ~₹34-34.5 lakh | 521 km | 201 |
| BMW iX1 | ~₹66 lakh | 417 km | 313 |
| Kia EV6 | ~₹60 lakh | 708 km | 229/325 |
Features: This Isn’t Your Grandpa’s Volvo
The moment you start up the EX30, it’s clear this car’s playing a different game. A single big motor at the back pushes out 268 bhp and 343 Nm—enough for a modest adrenaline rush (0-100 kmph in just 5.3 seconds), and the punchy throttle is a real treat for anyone used to traditional fossil-fuel SUVs.
As for the battery, 69 kWh gives a very respectable 480 km WLTP range. Which, let’s admit, is pretty close to the “real world” distance most actual commuters pull off in a week (unless you’re secretly moonlighting as an EV taxi driver).
Some Features That Actually Sound Useful
- 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google Android OS
- Wireless charging + Harman Kardon speakers—finally, music and battery peace
- 8-way powered seats, dual-zone climate, huge panoramic glass roof
- Loads of recycled materials—denim, PET bottles, aluminum—so you feel a little less guilty about shopping new
- Standard 11 kW wallbox charger
- Volvo’s signature Level 2 ADAS (autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, and the whole alphabet soup)
One oddball detail? The frunk—not huge, but the 7-litre compartment is perfect for hiding away, say, charging cables and that one reusable grocery bag that never stays in the right place.
The EX30 also comes with a legit 3-year “worry-free” warranty (car + service), 3 years roadside assistance, and 8 years on the battery. That’s the kind of peace of mind that helps you sleep at night—even if you just spent nearly ₹40 lakh on a car.
Design: Scandi Cool, Downsized
Let’s talk about the looks. Volvo’s gone all-in on that Scandinavian, minimalist vibe here—smooth “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlights, clean body lines, even the wheels have this sort of futuristic yet playfully understated feel. The EX30 is actually smaller than its sibling, the EX40, which gives it a more urban, crossover-like stance.
Five color choices in India, all muted and a bit “grown-up,” but not dull—aesthetic without screaming for attention. The 318-litre boot (with a clever split for loading in grocery bags, sports gear, or whatever your Saturday looks like) gets extra points from my neighbor, who already asked if he could fit his dog’s crate in the back (answer: yes, with the seats down).
Safety: Volvo’s True Calling Card
First sentence—there’s safety, and then there’s Volvo safety. The EX30 brings multiple airbags, next-level collision avoidance stuff (intersection autobrake, rear cross traffic), 360° camera system, blind spot watch, and even Park Pilot Assist. Honestly, it’s the kind of car that worries for you, which I guess is both comforting and a little unsettling (will my car scold me for bad lane discipline? Only time will tell).
Volvo brands this as “Safe Space Technology,” and as someone whose parallel parking skills leave a lot to be desired, I’m grateful for all the technology I can get.
Value, Warranty, and Final Thoughts
Is the Volvo EX30 cheap? Not by most family budgets. But compared to its segment rivals, it feels like a mild coup—a European badge, packed with tech, safety, and the peace of mind that comes with a solid warranty, all for less than what some luxury sedans charge just for the “extras”.
- Book before Oct 19th for the ₹39.99 lakh price (after that, ₹41 lakh)
- Local assembly (so parts/service aren’t a horror story)
- 3-year all-in warranty, 8-year battery guarantee
- Boot space for the real world, not the brochure world
- Safety so good, even your in-laws will relax
From my admittedly non-expert, sometimes overly skeptical point of view: the EX30 is the most tempting “affordable luxury” electric SUV in India right now. If the only thing stopping you is that nagging sense of “maybe I should just buy another petrol crossover instead,” take one EX30 for a spin. You might find yourself, like my cousin, asking unexpected questions about fast chargers and ADAS instead of rear-seat legroom.
