Volvo South Africa has confirmed the local arrival of the new EX30 Cross Country, a tougher and more adventurous take on its award-winning electric crossover. The highly anticipated model is set to launch in Q3 2025, expanding the brand’s electric lineup with off-road attitude and Scandinavian design.
Meet the EX30 Cross Country: Adventure Meets Innovation
Designed for eco-conscious adventurers, the EX30 Cross Country blends zero-emission driving with rugged versatility. Building on the sleek foundation of the original EX30, this new variant adds:
• All-wheel drive for better grip and control on dirt, gravel, or wet surfaces
• Increased ground clearance for more off-road capability
• Bold exterior design with unique trim, skid plates, and chunky wheel arch extensions
• 19-inch Matte Graphite alloy wheels with black aero inserts for a tougher look
Adding a personal touch, the front fascia features topographic artwork of Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest mountain – a nod to the model’s adventurous spirit.
Performance That Goes the Distance
The EX30 Cross Country will arrive in Ultra Twin Motor Performance spec, offering both luxury and muscle:
• 427 km of electric range (WLTP) — perfect for weekend getaways
• Quick charging: 10–80% in just 26 minutes
• Standard AWD system for maximum traction
• Smooth yet powerful drive with instant torque delivery
Packed with Premium Features
Inside, the EX30 Cross Country doesn’t skimp on comfort. Standard features include:
• Heated steering wheel
• Panoramic sunroof
• Power-adjustable front seats
• Over 15 driver-assistance features
Buyers can also personalize their vehicle with practical accessories like mudflaps, a roof basket, and a load carrier, making it ready for any adventure.
Volvo SA Says It Best
“The EX30 Cross Country builds on everything people love about the EX30, adding rugged capability and distinctive design details,” says Felipe Yagi, Head of Marketing and Communications at Volvo Car South Africa.
“It’s a refined, all-electric SUV that feels equally at home on gravel roads or in the city — offering South Africans a practical way to go further with confidence.”
The new EX30 Cross Country is a strong signal of Volvo’s electric ambitions. The Swedish brand is rolling out a variety of electrified options — from fully electric models to plug-in and mild hybrids — all part of its goal to achieve nearly 100% electric global sales by 2030.
When Can You Get It?
The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is expected to hit South African roads in the third quarter of 2025. Local pricing and detailed specs will be shared closer to launch — but one thing’s clear: this electric SUV is built to take you further, cleaner, and in signature Volvo style.
