In a scenario characterized by the need to evolve, prompted by the decisions taken in Brussels, they also have some big news in store on Scandinavian soil. After welcoming the EX90, a pioneering model of the new course taken by the company, now the focus is on Volvo EX30 2023. This car too, like its sister, outlines a frontier that has never been reached up to now. Through this exit, the Swedish company is determined to be ready, in view of future regulatory changes.
Without going to consider 2035, when the ban on endothermics will come into force, the relevant changes to the legislative text will arrive a decade earlier. With 1 July 2025, in fact, more stringent constraints will be triggered, set by the Euro 7 emission standards. Whether one agrees or not, the Manufacturers will have the burden of adapting, with all that derives from it in terms of adopted technologies. In the case of the Volvo EX30 2023, doubts about whether or not it respects the planet disappear in the bud. Instead of launching a hybrid at dealerships, the design team took charge of one full electric.
In any case, the main values that have earned the brand success around the world are confirmed. First, the solidity: who buys one Volvo knows well what proven security is. The quality conferred by the insiders makes you sleep peacefully, in line with a history of absolute protagonist in the four-wheel sector. In the next paragraphs we will review the main features of the Volvo EX30 2023, first of all taking the exterior as a reference. Secondly, we will focus on the interiors, both in terms of equipment and the generosity of the interior spaces. And, to conclude in the best possible way, we will focus on the types of powertrain adopted. No less important, we will try to launch ourselves into the forecasts on the release date and on the price list.
Volvo EX30 2023: exterior
As we write, the manufacturer has refrained from providing detailed information on the exterior. Until the presentation takes place, he will have to settle for the previews pitted in the course of meetings with the press and rumors. The predominant aspect of the Volvo EX30 2023 refers to the sizewhich will be lower than the XC40. For the avoidance of doubt, here we are not groping in the field of hypotheses, but of absolute certainties, as announced by the brand in the first person. The vehicle will occupy the segment of compact crossover suvsvery trendy in the recent period. The important sales figures achieved by the players in the supply chain, able to recognize the appeal of the bodywork with farsightedness, have attracted general attention.
Many realities are trying to get on the bandwagon and so it will be in the case of the proposal coming from Northern Europe. (Cold) numbers in hand, the specimen will slightly exceed i 4 meters long, between 4.1 and 4.3. So they will be challenged on their own ground counterparts of absolute value, including the Hyundai Kona. Indeed, if we wish to be precise, it would be correct to compare it directly with the Mini Aceman, another of the main novelties to be released by the end of the year. In fact, in both cases we are faced with two operators in the premium range, which, as such, give elements of absolute value to their respective creations.
Clarifications aside, the Volvo EX30 2023 will apply the stylistic features already introduced with the EX90. Philosophy will mostly rest on a conservative soul, although i Thor’s hammer light clusters they will also give it a touch of panache. With regard to “side B”, the prevailing hypothesis indicates the use of vertical lights with a thin base. An idea unveiled in the showcar Rechargewhich, as explained by the official spokespersons, represents a prerogative of new entries in the pipeline.
Interior
Wondering about the interiors is then natural. Because if the glance counts, the quality of the passenger compartment, in its various facets, is equally important. The model to be taken as a reference is the EX90 which, you will have noticed, has a lot to say about the brand’s plans. His presentation helped to get a pretty good idea of where the parties involved intend to go with this.
In this case, the Volvo EX30 2023 will presumably have a equipment of the highest level. Contrary to certain companies, still rather undecided about what to do, the operator has decided to make huge investments in the autonomous driving. Those who have particular expectations are advised to look at the large-sized sister, which has level 3 systems. The cost to estimate is, on the other hand, higher. However, the EX30 looks good either, so it will have a rich ADAS kits. The quality of the coatings will be equally accurate, of high quality and with low environmental impact. The spokesmen have not yet expressed their views on the matter, but this should be taken into account, given the attention paid to recent releases.
Furthermore, the opposite would be out of place, given the 100 percent electric drive. The reduction of the impact on the planet will also be achieved through secondary channels, such as i selected coatings. In this regard, however, there will be less space than the EX90 given the small size. On the opposite side, theergonomics it will be studied with painstaking care, so that the occupants feel “pampered” on board. During the world premiere we will also know the characteristics of the screens used, relating to the instrument panel and infotainment.
Volvo EX30 2023: platform and engines
The rumors indicate that the EX30 will benefit from the agreement entered into with the Geely, the Chinese giant that owns Volvo, as well as Polestar and smart. In fact, barring rather sensational surprises, the choice will fall on the SEA extension, acronym of Sustainable Experience Architecture. To be clear, it is the same platform as the smart #1, albeit larger. The opportunity to achieve economies of scale will be fully capitalized. In this regard, it seems that the engines and the la will also be drawn from the Sino-German reality drumshaving a capacity of about 66 kWh. It will be necessary to be patient a little on the actual values achieved, so that the parties involved keep their mouths shut.
In any case, smart #1 gives us a general idea, in due proportion. Compared to it, the proportions will presumably be less harmonious, an expression of manhood. Consequently, the journeys would be slightly less than the 440 km established by #1. It would certainly be a success if the maximum recharge capacity of 150 kW.
To say too much about the total horsepower supplied remains premature. Basically, the designers will not want to disfigure the family, then how much and if they succeed we will find out later, in the months to come. The position occupied, lower than the XC40, leads us to estimate a price list starting from 40 thousand euros. However, before going into the merits, we await the absolute debut of the Volvo EX30 2023 with anxious curiosity. We formed an initial impression thanks to the teaser, while for the rest we will know it in a few weeks. Meanwhile, we have the date of the reveal, expected close to the summer: the June 15.
