There will soon be a new addition to the Volvo EX30 range. After a number of images unveiled by the Swedish manufacturer during 2023, the brand will finally unveil the Cross Country variant in the coming weeks.

The presentation will be live-streamed on Monday 10 February at 13:00 and will be available in full on a dedicated event website. The EX30 Cross Country is just the first of several new Volvo vehicles planned for 2025.

The electric for adventure

In all likelihood, the production model will be similar to the one expected in 2023, with a rougher, off-road-inspired look. We expect to see a number of specific details such as black grille and tailgate inserts, larger wheel arches and off-road tyres, the latter perhaps available as part of a special package.

The Cross Country could also have a slightly raised stance and some unique driving modes across the range. There should be no changes in the powertrain, with the EX30 still available with 51 and 69 kWh batteries and 272 PS and 428 PS engines.

To watch the model presentation, simply log on to the official website.

Volvo news for all models

The EX30 Cross Country is not the only new model from Volvo. The Swedish manufacturer has planned a series of updates for several models, including the XC40, EX40, EC40, S60, V60, V60 Cross Country, V90 and V90 Cross Country. The updates focus on two key areas: a faster infotainment system and a simplified charging experience for electric models.

The new generation of Volvo Car UX infotainment is designed to offer more intuitive and personalised interaction. Based on real data and customer feedback, the platform features a revamped design and integrated functionality with Google services. Maps, media and phone are now accessible from the home screen, while a context bar adapts to the driver's needs.

The instrument cluster display has also been updated for clearer and more detailed navigation. This system will be available on all listed models, as well as on existing Volvo cars via over-the-air updates.

In addition, the new Snapdragon Cockpit platform - developed in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies - will make the Volvo infotainment system (including that fitted to the EX90) faster and more responsive, improving fluidity and reducing distractions.

Perhaps the most significant change, however, is the introduction of Plug & Charge for the EX30, EX40 and EC40. To start charging, simply plug in the cable and the system automatically identifies the car and handles authentication and payment without any further intervention.
