Volvo Car Malaysia has officially introduced the all-new Volvo EX30 Cross Country, expanding its electric vehicle lineup with the brand’s first-ever fully electric Cross Country model.
The Volvo EX30 Cross Country becomes the latest addition to Volvo Car Malaysia’s electric line-up. Positioned as an outdoor-ready compact SUV capable of tackling urban commutes and weekend camping trips alike, the locally assembled EX30 Cross Country starts at RM218,888 on the road without insurance.
To mark the launch, Volvo Car Malaysia is offering an exclusive early-bird privilege package for the first 100 customer reservations. The launch bundle includes a RM12,000 cash rebate, a complimentary Volvo Wallbox charger worth RM3,990, load carriers valued at RM2,098, and a roof-mounted cargo basket valued at RM3,680.
Concurrently, Volvo Car Malaysia announced updated MY27 pricing for the standard EX30 Ultra, repositioning the urban variant from RM198,888 without insurance across four exterior colors: Crystal White, Vapour Grey, Cloud Blue, and Onyx Black. The EX30 Ultra comes with a single motor, 272hp, a 0-100km/h time of just 5.3 seconds, 175kW DC fast charging, and 475km of range.
Ruggedized Exterior Styling and Raised Ground Clearance
Building upon the Scandinavian design of the standard EX30, the EX30 Cross Country variant introduces purpose-built visual and mechanical revisions tailored for light trail driving:
- Raised Ride Height: Sits with an additional 19 mm of ground clearance compared to the base EX30, paired with an advanced chassis calibration to soak up rough asphalt, gravel trails, and unpaved terrain.
- Adventure Aesthetics: Finished with low-gloss Vapour Grey front and rear skid plates, matte black lower bumpers, protective wheel arch claddings, and specialized 19-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels.
- Signature Badging: Features a dedicated Cross Country insignia along the rear C-pillar and an embossed “CC” graphic embedded into the low-gloss rear shield.
- Exterior Palette: Available in three body finishes: Crystal White, Vapour Grey, and Cloud Blue.
Twin-Motor AWD: 428 hp and 3.7-Second Acceleration
Underneath its lifted stance, the EX30 Cross Country features high-output twin-motor performance:
- Powertrain & Torque: The dual electric motor setup produces a combined 428 hp and 543 Nm of torque, delivering full-time intelligent all-wheel drive.
- Supercar Sprint: Completes the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration run in just 3.7 seconds, supported by recalibrated steering software providing enhanced road feel, active centering, and precise cornering damping.
- Battery & Driving Range: Draws energy from a 69 kWh NMC battery pack, delivering a pure-electric range of up to 437 km under the WLTP cycle.
- 175 kW DC Fast Charging: Supports high-power DC fast replenishment, moving from 10% to 80% state of charge in 27 minutes.
Eco-Conscious Cabin, Google Built-In, and Smart Storage
The interior emphasizes environmental responsibility, pairing bio-attributed Nordico upholstery and upcycled denim interior panels with dark blue night-sky accents and a panoramic glass roof.
- Digital Cockpit: Driven by a central 12.3-inch touchscreen running native Google Services (Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Play Store) with a complimentary five-year data package, paired with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Harmon Kardon Soundbar: Dashboard-mounted full-width soundbar eliminates door speakers to create deep, cavernous front door pockets.
- Modular Storage: Incorporates a flexible center console bin large enough for handbags, alongside a removable rear sliding storage box that doubles as a trash bin.
- Cargo Capacity: Delivers 318 litres of trunk volume with the seats up, expanding to 718 litres when folding the 60:40 split rear bench, assisted by an intuitive “Will It Fit” graphic printed inside the powered tailgate.
Safe Space Technology and Digital Service Booking
The SUV features Volvo’s standard-setting Safe Space Technology, backed by corner radar units, collision-avoidance active steering and braking, a Driver Understanding attention monitoring system, and next-generation Pilot Assist.
The model launch also marks the debut of Digital Service Booking (DSB) in Malaysia. Available via the official Volvo Car Malaysia portal or the Volvo Cars smartphone app, DSB allows owners to schedule aftersales appointments online with authorized retailers across the Klang Valley, with wider regional deployment planned nationwide.
