Volvo EX30 Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

Volvo revealed the EX30 in 2023 as its first small SUV, and it soon became the brand’s best-selling electric car. In 2024 alone, it accounted for 98,065 of the 175,194 EVs Volvo sold worldwide, and it was named World Urban Car at that year’s World Car Awards. Today it sits below the EX40 as the entry point to Volvo’s electric range.

Volvo has kept the EX30 current since launch. An entry-level Core trim joined Plus and Ultra in 2024, followed by the raised Cross Country and, in 2026, a Black Edition finished in Onyx Black. The 2027 model year update lifts the P5 Long Range to up to 303 miles of WLTP range and adds new Harvest and Black interior themes. Over-the-air updates are also bringing Vehicle-to-Load charging and a redesigned settings menu to new and existing cars.

For business customers, the EX30 gives company car drivers a small but premium SUV at the 4% Benefit-in-Kind rate for 2026/27. Volvo also says it has the lowest carbon footprint of any of its cars to date, at under 30 tonnes over around 124,000 miles, which supports businesses working towards sustainability targets. Personal customers looking for a stylish electric SUV get a minimalist Scandinavian cabin, five exterior colours included in the list price and an eight-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty. The Cross Country adds 19mm of extra ground clearance and rugged styling for drivers who want a more adventurous look.

Key Specifications

Volvo EX30 trims include:

- Core: Opens the range with 18-inch aero alloy wheels, LED headlights with active high beam, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors and a rear camera. Inside, a 12.3-inch portrait touchscreen runs Google built-in alongside wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the seats are trimmed in Indigo textile and Nordico.

- Plus: Adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, two-zone climate control, a power tailgate and wireless phone charging. Pilot Assist steering support becomes standard, and the dashboard soundbar is upgraded to a 1,040W Harman Kardon system. Long Range and P8 versions step up to 19-inch diamond-cut wheels, and every Plus gets a contrasting dual-tone roof.

- Plus Black Edition: Builds on Plus with Onyx Black paint, 19-inch high-gloss black wheels, dark tinted rear windows and gloss black grille and badge detailing. Inside, Indigo upholstery and a denim deco panel come as standard, with the all-black interior theme available as an alternative.

- Ultra: Adds 20-inch diamond-cut wheels, a fixed panoramic glass roof and dark tinted rear windows. A 360-degree camera with 3D view and Park Pilot Assist take the effort out of parking, and the powered front seats include driver memory. Performance Ultra pairs this specification with the 428bhp twin-motor powertrain for 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds.

- Ultra Black Edition: Tops the range by combining Ultra’s panoramic roof, 360-degree camera and powered seats with the Black Edition’s Onyx Black paint and gloss black detailing. It runs on 19-inch high-gloss black wheels rather than Ultra’s 20-inch diamond-cut design.

Paint is included in the list price, so all five colours (Cloud Blue, Crystal White, Onyx Black, Vapour Grey and Sand Dune) come at no extra cost on standard trims. Factory options include a Climate Pack for Core, which adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, and a Power Seat Pack for Plus. Plus can also add dark tinted rear glass, as well as 20-inch diamond-cut wheels on Long Range and P8 models, while Ultra offers a 20-inch 5-Y spoke design. Volvo accessories include a foldable towbar for up to 1,600kg of braked towing on Long Range and P8 models, roof load carriers, a front and rear dash camera and all-weather mats. Availability can vary by trim and current manufacturer ordering options.

Engine & Performance

The EX30 comes with three electric powertrains, all built around the same 268bhp rear-mounted motor. The entry P5 pairs it with a 51kWh battery, giving up to 209 miles of WLTP range and a 0-62mph time of 5.7 seconds. It suits drivers who mainly cover shorter journeys, and a DC rapid charger can take it from 10 to 80% in around 26 minutes.

Drivers covering longer distances will be better served by the P5 Long Range. Its larger 69kWh battery extends range to up to 303 miles and trims the 0-62mph time to 5.3 seconds, while a standard heat pump helps protect range in colder weather. For outright performance, the P8 AWD adds a 154bhp front motor, raising combined output to 422bhp. It reaches 62mph in 3.6 seconds and still covers up to 279 miles on a charge.

Both 69kWh versions charge from 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes and can tow up to 1,600kg braked. At home, a 7kW wallbox fully recharges the 51kWh battery in around nine hours and the 69kWh battery in around 11 hours.

Exterior Features

Instead of a traditional grille, the EX30 has a smooth front panel and a pixel-style version of Volvo’s Thor’s Hammer headlights. LED headlights with automatic high beam are standard on every trim, and the frameless door mirrors are heated and fold automatically.

Core rides on 18-inch aero alloys, most Plus models get 19-inch diamond-cut wheels, and Ultra moves up to 20 inches. Plus also adds a contrasting dual-tone roof, while Ultra gets a fixed panoramic glass roof and dark tinted rear windows. Black Edition models come in Onyx Black, with 19-inch gloss black wheels and black badging. Otherwise there are five colours to choose from, including Cloud Blue and Sand Dune, and none of them cost extra. Availability can vary by trim and current manufacturer ordering options.

Interior Features

Inside, the EX30 does without a driver display, so everything runs through a 12.3-inch portrait touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard. Your speed and driver assistance information appear along the top of the screen. The window switches have moved to the centre console, and a soundbar across the dashboard replaces the usual door speakers.

Volvo offers several interior themes, which it calls “rooms”, all using recycled and renewable materials. Core comes in Indigo, which combines textile, Nordico (made partly from recycled PET bottles) and a deco panel made from upcycled denim. Plus and Ultra add the new Harvest and Black themes, and Ultra can also be specified with Mist wool blend upholstery. Plus brings heated front seats and five ambient lighting themes, and Ultra adds powered front seats with driver memory.

The centre console has sliding cupholders and storage, and there’s a removable storage box in the back. The boot holds 318 litres, or up to 1,000 litres with the 60:40 rear seats folded, and a small compartment under the bonnet keeps the charging cable out of the way.

Safety Features

The EX30 scored the full five stars when Euro NCAP tested it in 2024, including 88% for adult occupant protection and 85% for child occupant protection.

Every trim gets the same core safety kit. Automatic emergency braking can brake and steer to help avoid a collision, including at junctions, and blind spot monitoring can steer you back if you start to move into the path of another car. Lane keeping aid, traffic sign recognition, front and rear parking sensors and a rear camera are all standard. A door opening alert warns you before you open a door in front of a cyclist or scooter, and a driver monitoring camera watches for signs of distraction or tiredness.

Plus adds Pilot Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control with steering support on well-marked roads. Ultra adds a 360-degree camera and Park Pilot Assist, which can steer, accelerate and brake into a parking space for you.

It suits drivers who want a stylish electric SUV that’s easy to park and charge at home, and even the Core trim includes Google built-in, adaptive cruise control and a rear camera.

At the end of your agreement, you return the car, subject to the agreed mileage and our fair wear and tear guide. Volvo EX30 leasing deals can be built around your annual mileage, contract length and initial rental, giving you fixed pricing for the length of your contract.

Volvo EX30 Salary Sacrifice

The Volvo EX30 is suitable for salary sacrifice. This can be a tax-efficient way for eligible employees to drive a new car, because payments come from gross salary before Income Tax and National Insurance are deducted. Its Benefit-in-Kind rate of 4% for 2026/27 also keeps the taxable benefit low.

Salary sacrifice isn’t available to everyone by default. Your employer needs to have a scheme in place, and you’ll need to meet its eligibility criteria. Synergy can support businesses introducing or managing a salary sacrifice scheme, including adding electric models such as the Volvo EX30 to the options available to employees.

Looking for Something Similar?

If you’re considering a Volvo EX30 lease, a few other small electric SUVs are worth a look.

- Renault 4: A modern take on Renault’s 1960s original, the Renault 4 combines retro styling with a practical 420-litre boot, well ahead of the EX30’s. It offers up to 247 miles of WLTP range and qualifies for the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant, though it doesn’t match the EX30’s premium feel or performance.

- MINI Aceman: A smaller premium alternative with MINI’s distinctive circular OLED touchscreen. It offers up to 251 miles of WLTP range, though its 300-litre boot and tighter rear seats make it less practical than the EX30.

- Kia EV3: One of the EX30’s closest rivals, the EV3 was named UK Car of the Year 2025. It offers up to 375 miles of WLTP range, a 460-litre boot and a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty, though it can’t match the EX30’s premium feel or its twin-motor performance.
