Volvo EX30 Cross Country debuts with AWD, off-road tires

In the past, the name “Cross Country” was used by Volvo to bridge the gap between wagon models and SUVs.

However, it is now being applied to the brand’s most compact SUV, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country.

This rugged version of the Volvo EX30 features unique characteristics, such as matching protective plastic paneling, a skid plate, and exclusive 18-inch rims fitted with all-terrain tires.

Additionally, Volvo has modified the rear suspension settings of the EX30 Cross Country to better handle more challenging terrains.

At the front, a black panel displays a relief map of the Kebnekaise mountain range in Sweden.

As standard, the Volvo EX30 Cross Country is equipped with a dual electric motor producing 422 hp and 542 Nm of torque, paired with a 69 kWh battery pack.

While the originally stated range of 427 km may be difficult to achieve with the aforementioned all-terrain tire setup, there’s no need to worry.

The Volvo EX30 supports DC fast charging at 153 kW, allowing the battery to charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 28 minutes.
