Volvo’s all-electric EX30 SUV will hit UAE streets in early January

Volvo’s small electric SUV lands in UAE: Swedish giant carmaker Volvo’s UAE rep Al-Futtaim Trading Enterprises has rolled out Volvo’s first small SUV, the all-electric EX30 SUV, according to a statement. The EX30 has the smallest CO2 footprint in Volvo’s line-up.

About the EX30: The all-electric model will offer two battery variants — a 51 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) pack and a 69 kWh nickel-cobalt-manganese (NMC) pack. The 69 kWh pack will reach a maximum driving range of 480 km. The model also has a Ultra Performance variant in which the NMC battery is paired with an additional second e-motor. This all-wheel drive variant of the EX30 provides 315 kW of battery power, and can go from zero to 100 km in 3.6 seconds, making it Volvo’s fastest-accelerating vehicle.

Charging specs: The twin motor variant has a DC charging capacity of up to 153 kW, while the standard-range car has a capacity of 134 kW. Charging can go from 10% to 80% in about 25 minutes.

The price: The SUV models vary in price from around AED 150k to AED 210k. They can be ordered now, with expected delivery by early January.
