Overview
The Volvo EX30 is a B-segment electric SUV launched in 2024, aimed at drivers who want a compact premium EV rather than a larger family hauler. The listed Malaysian line-up starts at RM208,888, pairing a 69 kWh battery with rear-wheel drive, five seats and a single-ratio automatic transmission.
EX30 in 2026 — what's new
For MY2026, the EX30 gains an entry-level 150 PS powertrain, a revised user interface and vehicle-to-load capability; claimed WLTP range reaches 476 km. Malaysia then moves to MY2027 with a sole Ultra variant, renamed P5 Long Range, priced at RM198,888. A global recall covers 40,323 EX30s over a potential EV battery fire risk.

Which variant to buy
Choose the Ultra at RM208,888 if the two-variant range is available. It has 268 hp and a 476 km range, which is 26 km farther than the Twin Performance. Pay the RM10,000 extra for the Ultra Twin Performance at RM228,888 only if its 422 hp output matters more than range. On paper, both share a 69 kWh battery, rear-wheel drive and five seats, so check the equipment list before paying more.

Volvo EX30 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
Driving fun gives the EX30 more character than its screen-led cabin initially suggests, and its compact B-segment footprint suits urban use. But the zero-button, no-meter and no-HUD layout demands adjustment. It costs far more than the RM69,999 Perodua QV-E, RM95,000 Seres 3 and RM100,000 BYD Atto 2, while sitting close to the RM209,800 smart #5 and RM213,888 MINI Aceman.
