Volvo Cars has expanded its electric lineup with the launch of the EX30 Cargo—a smart, car-derived electric van designed specifically for fleet operators and business users seeking efficiency, practicality, and premium features.
Based on the popular Volvo EX30, this new variant transforms the compact SUV into a capable commercial vehicle without sacrificing the comfort, technology, and safety the brand is known for.
Practical Design Meets Electric Performance
The EX30 Cargo replaces the rear seats with a flat load floor and adds an access panel to the lower compartment, unlocking up to 1,000 litres of cargo space and a payload capacity of 390 kg. A robust bulkhead separates the cabin from the cargo area, while redesigned side panels and rear doors increase usability and storage efficiency.
For added convenience, the rear doors open wider to simplify loading, and a dedicated cargo work light improves visibility in low-light conditions. The underfloor subframe also includes extra mounting points, making the van adaptable for various commercial needs.
Multiple Powertrains, Up to 300 Miles Range
The EX30 Cargo offers a flexible range of electric powertrains to suit different business requirements:
– P3 (150 hp) Extended Range – ideal for efficiency-focused fleets
– P5 (272 hp) Standard and Extended Range – balanced performance and range
– P8 (428 hp) AWD – for high-performance demands
The MY27 P3 Extended Range variant delivers up to 300 miles of range, making it a compelling option for urban and regional operations.

A Cross Country version adds increased ground clearance, catering to businesses that require more rugged capability.
