Volvo Cars is extending its UK EX30 range with the introduction of a new entry-level Core specification, making the multi-award-winning fully electric small SUV an affordable prospect for more customers.
Joining the established Plus and Ultra grades in the line-up, the new EX30 Core is available with two powertrains: Single Motor, with a driving range of up to 209 miles, and Single Motor Extended Range, capable of up to 295 miles (official WLTP data).
The equipment specification is generous, with standard features including a rear parking camera, rear parking sensors, automatic LED headlights with active high beam and 18-inch alloy wheels. The 12.3-inch touchscreen system comes with Google built in, while a dashboard-mounted soundbar offers great sound quality. On Single Motor Extended Range versions, the climate control system also uses an energy-saving heat pump, helping optimise the car’s power usage and driving range.
On-the-road prices are £32,850 for the Single Motor version and £37,050 for the Single Motor Extended Range. All EX30s come with three years/60,000 miles’ servicing plus wear and tear maintenance for items such as wiper blades and brake discs and pads.
The new EX30 Core is available to order now, with first customer deliveries expected in early 2025.
XC90 now even more luxurious
The seven-seat XC90 large SUV range is benefiting from specification upgrades that enhance the model’s style and luxury profile. New Plus Edition and Ultra Edition trim levels replace the current Plus and Ultra grades respectively.
The Plus Edition introduces perforated Nappa leather upholstery with ventilation for the front seats, tinted windows and 21-inch alloy wheels (replacing the previous 20-inch wheels). The Ultra Edition adopts 22-inch wheels (previously 21-inch), while the prices for both grades include all exterior paint choices.
Both new specifications are available with the B5 petrol and T8 petrol-electric plug-in hybrid powertrains, with on-the-road prices from £69,425.
Orders are open now, with first deliveries this autumn.
