Volvo has revealed its new EX30, a compact electric SUV with almost 300 miles of range and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds, making it the quickest Volvo ever made.
The Swedish carmaker says the EX30 has the smallest lifecycle CO2 footprint of any Volvo car to date, and it is made from 25 percent recycled aluminium, 17 percent recycled steel and 17 percent recycled plastic.
Recycled materials continue on the inside, with interior fabric options including woven flax made from linseed plant, up cycled denim fibres from recycled jeans, ground plastic waste from discarded window frames, recycled polyester, Finland- and Sweden-sourced pine oil, carpets made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, and responsibly produced wool.

The Volvo EX30 is priced from £33,795 and Volvo says it expects the car’s electric range to be up to 298 miles, with a power consumption of up to 4.0 miles per kWh. Quick charging means a top-up from 10% to 80% will take as little as 26 minutes, Volvo says.

Finally there is the flagship of the EX30 range. Called the Twin Motor Performance, this model has the same 69 kWh battery as the previous model, but this time it’s powering two motors delivering 315 kW (428 hp) and all-wheel-drive. The car can hit 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, making it the quickest Volvo ever. Range is a claimed 286 miles and the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in about 27 minutes using a 175 kW charger.
