Volvo has already received more orders for its EX30 compact SUV in South Africa than the best-selling electric vehicle in the country for the entire 2023.With a starting price of R775,900, the entry-level option is the most affordable Volvo EV ever and the third most affordable fully-electric car in South Africa.
“The reaction to the newly launched EX30 has been phenomenal, so we are excited to see the reaction of customers over the coming weeks and months,” he said. The Twin Motor Performance is Volvo’s fastest-accelerating production car yet, with an output of 315kW and 543Nm torque enabling it to go from 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds.
Young families and couples who previously would have opted for the EX40 if they were looking for one of the more affordable EV SUVs in the country might now turn their attention to its younger sibling. “These will be dealer demo cars and some press cars,” he said. “Customer cars are expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2025.”
