It’s the Scandinavian electric off-roader. Volvo has taken its EX30 compact electric crossover and given it the rugged treatment that buyers of every crossover on the market seem to love.
The EX30 Cross Country is more than just good looks, too, adding some extra ground clearance and tires better suited to rough conditions to help boost its capability in rough terrain.
25 Years of Swedish Off-Roading

Volvo has been building Cross Country models for more than 25 years. It launched the first one at the start of the crossover and SUV craze in 1997 by taking Subaru’s Outback lead and making it a bit fancier.
The first one took Volvo’s then-popular V70 wagon and bumped the ride height an inch and a half, added some cladding, and made a few other small changes. It was a hit, and Volvo hasn’t stopped building Cross Country models since.
This one starts with an EX30 Twin Motor. That’s the super-quick 422-horsepower, 400 pound-feet of torque version of the EX30 that, in standard form, delivers a 265-mile estimated electric range.

Volvo Adds Utility, Not Just Cladding
