Since its introduction to the Canadian market on October 18, Volvo Car Canada's electric vehicle, the EX30, is on the verge of a notable sales achievement, with nearly half of its units already reserved.

Matt Girgis, Volvo Cars Canada's Managing Director, points out that the EX30 aligns with the needs of the Canadian market, offering an environmentally conscious, safe, and premium electric vehicle experience. Starting at a price of $53,700, the EX30 comes in various color schemes and interior designs.
The EX30 is equipped with two electric propulsion options, including a high-performance Twin Motor variant with 422 horsepower, capable of achieving 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. The vehicle also boasts a suite of advanced safety features, such as the Blind Spot Information System and Driver Alert System, reflecting Volvo's longstanding commitment to safety.
Canadian consumers can configure their EX30 online, with delivery expected in the summer of 2024. This model is also part of the 'One Price Promise' from Volvo Car Canada, which offers a transparent, negotiation-free purchasing experience.
