The Volvo EX30 Ultra Twin Motor Performance is established as one of the most powerful options among the compact electric SUVs available in the Brasil. The top-of-the-line version adopts two electric motors, one on each axle, delivering a combined power of 428 hp and torque of 55.3 kgfm. Essa configuration allows acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with a maximum speed limited to 180 km/h. The model arrives at dealerships for R$309,950 and reflects the brand’s strategy of prioritizing performance and technology to differentiate itself in the segment.
The vehicle measures 4.23 meters in length, with a wheelbase of 2.65 meters, which positions it as a compact SUV aimed at urban use. The 69 kWh battery (64 useful kWh) uses NMC chemistry and supports direct current fast charging of up to 153 kW. In the WLTP cycle, the declared autonomy varies according to use, but real tests indicate expressive numbers in different driving conditions.
Performance and acceleration impress
The set of two engines provides all-wheel drive and immediate throttle response. In Desempenho mode, the SUV demonstrates plenty of strength when restarting, with times that are surprising given the size of the vehicle. Intense acceleration occurs without hesitation, a typical characteristic of electric cars with torque available from zero rpm.
In practice, the model maintains stability at higher speeds. Retomadas between 80 and 120 km/h are fast, making overtaking on highways easier. The system allows three driving modes, including options that prioritize autonomy or a balance between performance and efficiency.
Consumption and real autonomy in everyday life
Tests in urban conditions recorded an average consumption of 6.3 km/kWh, which projects a range of approximately 403 km on a full charge. On highways, the rate drops to 5.8 km/kWh, resulting in around 371 km of estimated autonomy. Esses values depend on factors such as temperature, driving style and use of air conditioning.
Alternating current charging reaches 11 kW, while fast DC charging allows recharges of 10 to 80% in around 26 to 30 minutes at compatible stations. Battery preconditioning optimizes the process on long journeys planned via the integrated navigation system.
Minimalist design and functional interior
The exterior adopts clean, aerodynamic lines, with a reduced height that reinforces the feeling of sportiness. The 20-inch wheels are fitted with 245/40 tires and contribute to the dynamics. The interior follows the brand’s minimalist philosophy, with recycled materials on the doors and optional fabric seats at no additional cost.
The central panel concentrates all information on a vertical screen, eliminating the traditional instrument panel behind the steering wheel. Botões keys for windows are located on the center console, and the card-type key requires adaptations for some everyday uses. The panoramic roof increases the feeling of spaciousness, although without a curtain for climate control.
Technologies and assistance systems
The package includes well-calibrated adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. Alertas blind spot and automatic emergency braking act precisely. The multimedia system operates with Google Built-in, offering intelligent routing that predicts the need for recharging on long journeys.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work wirelessly. The Harman Kardon audio delivers high quality, with a soundbar, subwoofer and rear speakers that enrich the sound experience. Discreet ambient LEDs complement the premium finish.
Internal space and trunk
The raised floor due to the battery reduces legroom in the rear seat. The model better accommodates two adults in the back, with adequate comfort for short or medium journeys. Viagens long periods with full occupants can cause discomfort depending on the height of the floor.
The trunk has a capacity of 318 liters, plus 7 liters in the front trunk. The urban vocation predominates, with a focus on practicality for daily use in cities. The McPherson suspension at the front and multilink at the rear prioritize comfort, although it suffers from irregularities on the Brazilian asphalt.
Suspension and dynamic behavior
Suspension calibration seeks a balance between comfort and stability. In curves, the vehicle presents a certain inclination, but maintains control thanks to all-wheel drive. The weight of 1,960 kg does not compromise agility in urban maneuvers, where the model is docile and easy to drive.
On roads, the set absorbs moderate imperfections well. Ajustes firmer ones could improve the sensation at a high pace, but the current setup favors everyday use without excess rigidity.
The Volvo EX30 Ultra Twin Motor combines high performance, modern technologies and a complete package for competitive value in the premium electric segment. The proposal attracts those looking for differentiation in the brand’s power and support infrastructure.
