Electric made Minimalist: Volvo EX30

After facing all the challenges of daily life, the perfect way to cap off a long day is having a moment of peace and quiet. It’s the ideal way for mind and body to recharge, and that usually begins by the time we come home.

What if we told you it could happen the moment you get behind the wheel? Yes, Volvo has made it possible with the EX30. It’s the electric crossover that delivers simplicity, functionality, and calmness day in and day out.

Volvo has religiously stuck to the concept of Scandinavian minimalism with the EX30. It’s the same design philosophy you see on Swedish furniture, where everything has its own place and purpose. You see it the moment you lay your eyes on the EX30.

At just over 4.2 meters long, it’s just the right size for an everyday car. Ground clearance and overhangs? Enough to clear most urban obstacles along the way. The styling? Signature Scandinavian. Not a thing out of place with those Thor Hammer headlights, clean character lines, the playful two-tone paint scheme that matches the wheels, the EX30 has just the right amount of style and flair to stand the test of time.

As you step inside the EX30, you’ll see that Volvo has put to heart the signature Scandinavian design that favors balance, moderation, and sustainability. Light is a key component, which is why the EX30 has a panoramic sunroof and large windows. Space is also an important element, as the EX30 has seating for five while capable of carrying up to 318 liters in its cargo hold.

The dashboard design is very clutter-free, as every interior function you’ll need is found at the large tablet-inspired touchscreen infotainment system. With a dual zone climate control system, interior upholstery made from sustainable materials, and a Harman Kardon sound system that’s ready to entertain the moment you connect via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the feeling of comfort, pleasure, and warmth is achieved as you spend more time inside the EX30.

When it’s time to drive home, the EX30 gives its occupants an extra peace of mind as it is equipped with a comprehensive list of intelligent driver aids to keep you safe and secure. The seats itself are designed to absorb energy during rear-end collisions with the Whiplash Protection System or WHIPS. On the road, Volvo’s IntelliSafe Suite that brings lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition and adaptive cruise control makes for convenient highway driving, along with the Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system.

For the urban jungle, the City Safety System easily detects vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and even large animals that pose as potential traffic hazards, allowing the EX30 to step in and prevent collisions. That is simply the cocoon of protection you get every time you step inside a Volvo.

The EX30 is capable of recharging its batteries in as little as 28 minutes with a DC fast charger, so you can enjoy the full 272 PS and 343 Nm of torque that the electric motor has for another 475 kilometers. Once you reach your driveway, a 7.4 kWh AC charger will be installed conveniently at your home, allowing you to top up the EX30’s batteries overnight while having a good night’s sleep.

That is the kind of everyday calmness you can enjoy with the Volvo EX30, which can be yours for PHP 2,990,000. If you’d like to experience the Scandinavian way of simplicity and minimalism for your daily driving, the EX30 is now on display at Volvo dealers nationwide.
