Following in the footsteps of cars like the V60 and V90 Cross Country, the EX30 Cross Country is a more rugged take on Volvo’s smallest electric SUV.
Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand, said that the new model would be “an affordable, high-quality, profitable electric Volkswagen from Europe for Europe.
Like the models before it, the main points of difference between the EX30 Cross Country and the standard car include a boost in ride height to help it navigate larger obstacles, as well as bigger wheels which can be equipped with an all-terrain tyre as an option.
The new model will be one of a number of compact models coming from Volkswagen, with the new-range process kicking off with the production version of the ID.2all prototype vehicle, which is expected to reach dealerships in 2026.
To help boost traction, the EX30 Cross Country uses a dual electric motor setup bringing all-wheel-drive in the process.
