NEW 2025 VOLVO EX30 CROSS COUNTRY REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is presented as a more rugged, off-road-capable version of the standard EX30. The reviewer highlights several key differentiators, including a distinctive black front and rear fascia, additional cladding, underbody protection, and a 19mm increase in ride height. While the interior maintains Volvo's minimalist aesthetic, controlled primarily through a central 12.3-inch portrait screen, the reviewer notes a significant lack of rear passenger space, particularly for taller individuals, and a high-mounted floor impacting footroom. The driving experience is described as quick and planted due to the all-wheel-drive system, though the increased ride height introduces a slight, albeit welcome, body roll. The reviewer concludes that the £2,000 premium over the standard EX30 Twin Motor Ultra is justified by the enhanced styling, increased capability, and perceived better looks of the Cross Country variant, deeming it a worthwhile upgrade for those seeking a more adventurous EV.
