The compact EX30 was supposed to be Volvo's mainstream EV in the U.S. Then came the tariffs, which hiked up its price, and the policy shifts. In March, the Swedish brand pulled the stylish little EV from its U.S. lineup. But Americans won't be without an entry-level Volvo EV for long. A replacement is already on the way, and it'll cost about as much as the EX30 did.
“We're going to have a new car coming, that will fulfill not exactly the same price point, but very similar,” Luis Rezende, president of Volvo Cars America told reporters on Monday.
We don't have much in the way of details yet. Rezende said the new car is coming next year and noted that it will be larger than the EX30. "It's going to be an EV that will deliver a lot of good things in a bigger space, but will also be fun to drive, I can promise you,” he said.
The company initially targeted $35,000 for the EX30 in the U.S. But it ended up costing over $45,000 at launch. The cheaper single motor trim arrived later at $40,000.
