Volvo’s compact SUV gets a Cross Country variant

Volvo has introduced the new EX30 Cross Country, a fully electric SUV designed for outdoor enthusiasts. The vehicle was unveiled during a winter event in northern Sweden, emphasizing its suitability for various weather conditions and terrains. The EX30 Cross Country builds upon the existing EX30 model, enhancing its capabilities for those looking to venture beyond urban environments.

The SUV features a higher ground clearance and larger wheels, including an optional all-terrain tire, to facilitate travel over rough terrain. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, enabling it to handle challenging conditions. The EX30 Cross Country is also designed for urban use, with fast charging capabilities that allow for a 10-80 percent charge in approximately 26 minutes.

Aesthetically, the vehicle incorporates elements that reflect its rugged nature, including a unique front design inspired by the Kebnekaise mountain range. Additional features, such as skid plates and wheel arch extensions, enhance its outdoor readiness.

Internally, the EX30 Cross Country maintains functionality with ample storage options and advanced technology. The sound system has been integrated into the dashboard, freeing up space in the doors. A versatile storage tunnel offers convenience for passengers, while the glove compartment is easily accessible. The vehicle includes a ‘Will it fit?’ guide on the boot lid to assist with cargo management.

Safety remains a priority for Volvo, with the EX30 Cross Country equipped with advanced safety features to prevent collisions. These include braking and steering support systems and a driver monitoring sensor to ensure driver alertness.

Volvo is also launching a Cross Country Experience package for owners, which will provide access to a range of outdoor accessories and offers designed to enhance the exploration experience. The EX30 Cross Country will be available in the United States later this year, reflecting Volvo’s commitment to supporting customers in their outdoor adventures.
