Overview
The Volvo EX30 is Volvo’s 2024-launched B-segment electric SUV, aimed at drivers who want a compact premium EV with five seats and a 69 kWh battery. It is tiny by Volvo standards but brings unusual cabin design and surprising driving fun. Prices start from RM208,888.
EX30 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the EX30 gains an entry-level 150 PS powertrain, revised user experience and vehicle-to-load capability, with up to 476 km of WLTP range. The Malaysian line-up continues with the Ultra and Ultra Twin Performance, both using a 69 kWh battery. Volvo has also issued a preventative recall affecting 2024 to 2025 Malaysian EX30s over a potential EV battery fire risk; fewer than 200 local units are affected and owners have been notified.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the RM208,888 Ultra. Its 268 hp output is ample on paper, and its claimed 476 km range is 26 km better than the Twin Performance’s 450 km. Pay RM20,000 more for the RM228,888 Ultra Twin Performance only if the jump to 422 hp is central to why you are buying an EX30. Both are five-seat EVs with a 69 kWh battery and a single-ratio automatic transmission.

Volvo EX30 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The EX30 is not the cheap route into an electric SUV: the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3, BYD Atto 2 and Toyota Urban Cruiser all cost less. But it has character. Its compact size, unconventional zero-button cabin and lack of a conventional meter or head-up display make it quite unlike most rivals, while the driving experience delivers more fun than expected. The battery-fire recall is a point to check with the seller before purchase.
