Overview
The Volvo EX30 is Volvo’s B-segment electric SUV and its smallest EV, priced from RM208,888 in Malaysia. It suits buyers after a premium compact crossover with a small footprint, five seats and proper pace rather than maximum cabin size. The range opens with a 69 kWh, 476 km single-motor Ultra.
EX30 in 2026 — what's new
For MY2026, the EX30 update adds an entry-level 150 PS powertrain, a new user experience and V2L, with range quoted at up to 476 km WLTP. Malaysia still revolves around the Ultra and Ultra Twin Performance, while the EX30 Cross Country is due with raised ride height, all-terrain tyres and 427 km WLTP. A preventative battery-fire-risk recall affects 2024-2025 Malaysian cars; under 200 units are involved and owners have been notified.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Ultra at RM208,888. It uses the same 69 kWh battery as the dearer car, has five seats and gives the longest quoted range in the line-up at 476 km, with 268 hp. The Ultra Twin Performance costs RM228,888; the RM20,000 gap buys 422 hp, but range drops to 450 km. Pay more only if the extra shove matters more than distance between charges.

Verdict
The EX30 is tiny for a Volvo and unusual inside, with the zero-buttons, no meter/HUD approach central to the experience. The pay-off is surprising driving fun, and the single-motor car’s 476 km range is the more sensible fit. It is not the cheapest compact electric SUV: its opening price sits above the Toyota Urban Cruiser’s RM198,000 and smart #5’s RM199,800, just below the MINI Aceman’s RM213,888.
