2024 Volvo EX30 Electric Estate

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2024 Volvo EX30 for a few months now, and honestly, it’s one of the most refreshing EVs I’ve ever had the chance to drive. It’s not flashy, but it’s got real punch — 315kW twin-motor all-wheel drive, which means 0–62mph in just 3.6 seconds. Yeah, it’s fast, but in a way that feels smooth and controlled, not like a rocket launch.

It’s a 69kWh battery, so range is solid — enough for city driving and even some longer trips. I’ve been charging it at home using the 32-amp Type 2 cable (plug and charge), and it’s pretty quick. The cabin is clean and quiet, with that Scandinavian minimalism you get in Volvo cars — lots of recycled materials, ambient lighting, and a premium sound system that doesn’t compete with the quietness.

Inside, the screen is Google-powered, so I can control climate, navigation, music, and even apps with just my voice. No fiddling with buttons. The seats are leather, heated, and comfy — even on long drives. I’ve got the Performance Plus trim, which gives it that sporty look with 20-inch alloy wheels, a contrasting roof, and sharp LED lighting.

Safety’s a big deal here — Pilot Assist, 360-view camera, cross-traffic alert, lane keeping, and even pre-crash prevention are all standard. I’ve never felt unsafe behind the wheel.

This one’s been a demonstrator model from Volvo Exeter, so it’s been properly looked after with a full service history. Only 5,011 miles on the clock, and it’s been in a business use before, but still runs like new. There’s a full 1-year Volvo warranty included.

I’m selling it because I’m moving to Keith, Moray and want to downsize a bit. It’s a great car for city life, but I’m not planning to use it for long hauls — more like daily commutes and weekend trips.

I’ve kept it clean, well-maintained, and everything’s been serviced properly. It’s not a show car, just a solid, reliable EV that’s been genuinely enjoyable to drive.

If you’re thinking about switching to electric and want something that’s both powerful and practical, this might be worth a look. Price is £27,796.50 — I’ll keep it in the chat if you’re interested.

(Just a quick note: I’m with Vertu Motors, which runs a bunch of Volvo dealerships across the UK. I’ve been working with them for years, so I know what I’m talking about.)
