Inside, the EX30 Cross Country looks identical to its asphalt-only counterpart. A vertically oriented 12.3-inch infotainment display also contains the driver information gauges and runs Volvo’s Google-based interface. You can also use Apple CarPlay, and instead of speakers in the doors, there is a single soundbar spanning across the dashboard.

Volvo has officially unveiled the 2026 EX30 Cross Country— the first time Volvo's rugged off-road treatment has been applied to an electric vehicle.

Cross Country is a name that’s adorned plenty of Volvos in the past 25 years, and after the firm recently brought it back on the new all-electric EX30 Cross Country, it has hinted to Auto Express that more Cross Country EVs are on the way.

True to the classic recipe, Volvo has added flared wheel arch extensions and skid plates front and back, while also raising the ride height by 0.7 inches. The CC variants will also wear unique 18-inch wheels, with optional all-terrain tires.

The Cross Country treatment adds a few rugged touches to the mix, while simultaneously ushering in new adventure experience packages for customers.

The model is based on the twin-motor, 4-wheel-drive version of the EX30. With that configuration, the model offers 422 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. The range of that EX30, estimated at 402 km by Volvo, comes via a 69-kWh battery.

Volvo has given its EX30 small electric SUV an off-road makeover with lifted suspension and optional all terrain tyres.
