[12] With a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) figure of 3.4 seconds, the EX30 Twin Motor Performance variant is the fastest accelerating Volvo ever made.

Ultra models receive additional equipment, such as a 360 degree camera, park pilot assist, 20 inch wheels and a panoramic sunroof.

The Cross Country is off-road styled, and has raised ground clearance, which as yet does not have a confirmed release date.

The EX30 uses rear radars to detect cyclists and scooters approaching from behind and will sound an alert if an occupant tries to open a door.

It will send audio and visual alerts and brake pulse warnings when a collision risk is detected.

An infrared sensor on the steering column tracks the driver's eye and head movements, including how fast or slow they blink and how often.
