Volvo EX30 Launched in India & Global Markets
Volvo has finally launched its most compact and smart electric SUV, the EX30, in the Indian market in 2025. The car made its global debut in Europe in June 2023 and has since been the center of attention worldwide. Deliveries are already underway in major markets such as Europe, China, and the United States, and now India has joined the list.
In India, this remarkable SUV is offered at an attractive starting price of ₹39.99 lakh, making it highly competitive against other luxury electric SUVs in the premium segment. The booking offer is valid until October 19, 2025, after which the price will increase to ₹41 lakh. The SUV is not only smart and powerful but also locally assembled to suit Indian market needs. Produced at the Hosakote plant in Bengaluru, deliveries to Indian customers are set to begin from the first week of November 2025.

In terms of pricing, the EX30 had a starting price of around €36,000 (approx. ₹32 lakh) in Europe and about $35,000 in the U.S., subject to taxes and local market demand.
