VOLVO EX30 IS COMING TO THE U.S. BUT THERE’S A CATCH

EV Channels Review

The Volvo EX30 is finally arriving in the U.S. market, with production shifted to Belgium to circumvent tariffs. While initially advertised at a lower price point, the U.S. market will initially receive the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version starting at $44,900, with the rear-wheel-drive single-motor variant expected in late 2025. This AWD model boasts an EPA-estimated range of 253 miles and a swift 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds. The reviewer notes that U.S. trims (Plus and Ultra) are limited to this single powertrain, unlike European and Chinese markets which offer more variety. Pricing is a point of contention, with the U.S. version approaching $50,000 when options are added, significantly higher than its counterparts in China and Europe. While the car is praised for its design and performance, the limited U.S. configurations and higher price point are highlighted as potential drawbacks.
