Get Ready, South Africa: The Electric EX30 Cross Country is Coming!
Exciting news for automotive enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers alike! Volvo Car South Africa has officially announced that the much-anticipated EX30 Cross Country will hit local roads in the third quarter of 2025. This new model promises to deliver not just style, but rugged capability—perfect for those seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort.
The EX30 Cross Country builds on the renowned EX30, which has already captured attention for its sleek design and performance. The Cross Country version introduces a tougher, more robust aesthetic, featuring a slightly elevated ride height (19mm higher than its standard counterpart) and enhanced body cladding. It’s designed to navigate both urban environments and challenging terrains with ease.
What makes the EX30 Cross Country stand out? Volvo has added distinctive design elements that reflect the beauty of nature, particularly inspired by Sweden’s stunning Kebnekaise mountain range. The model will come equipped with eye-catching 19-inch five-spoke wheels in Matte Graphite, complemented by black aero inserts—a perfect combination of form and function.
Moreover, it’s not just about looks. This model is loaded with high-end features. South African buyers will receive the EX30 Cross Country exclusively in Ultra Twin Performance trim. Inside, you’ll find a luxurious cabin complete with heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, and power-adjustable front seats. Safety is paramount too, with over 15 driver assistance features, including Pilot Assist and a 360-degree camera system to help you navigate any situation confidently.
On the performance front, the EX30 Cross Country will boast a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, generating an impressive 315 kW of power and 543 N·m of torque. This powerhouse can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds—making it not only a capable off-roader but also a thrilling drive in the city. The vehicle’s 69 kWh battery pack delivers a workable WLTP range of 427 km and can be fully charged from 10 to 80% in just 26 minutes with a suitable DC fast charger.
Felipe Yagi, Volvo Car South Africa’s head of marketing and communications, was enthusiastic about the new model, stating, “The EX30 Cross Country builds on everything people love about the EX30, adding rugged capability and distinctive design details. 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.”
Get ready for a transformative journey in the world of electric vehicles, as Volvo’s commitment to sustainability continues to grow. The EX30 Cross Country is a testament to the brand’s ambition of ensuring that battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles account for nearly all global sales by 2030.
For those eager to stay ahead of the curve, pricing and final specifications will be unveiled closer to the launch date. Until then, keep your adventure spirit alive and prepare for the arrival of this remarkable SUV!
