So, you know how everyone’s been talking about Volvo’s new electric SUV, the EX30? Well, it looks like it’s officially making its way to India, and soon! Someone just spotted a camouflaged EX30 zooming along the highway, and let me tell you, it’s pretty exciting stuff!

Spotted in the Wild: The Volvo EX30 on Indian Roads!

I heard all about this from some super sharp-eyed car buffs – they saw the EX30 wearing its “disguise” (you know, those black and white swirly wraps) but still recognized it instantly. How? Because even with all that camo, you just can’t hide those cool, vertical LED taillights that look all pixel-y. Totally a Volvo signature, right? Plus, it had a temporary Haryana license plate, which means it’s definitely being tested right here at home.

Why the Jaipur-Delhi highway, you ask? Smart move, actually! That road gives them a mix of everything – fast highway stretches where they can really push it, and then all that city traffic as you get closer to Delhi. It’s perfect for seeing how the EX30 handles our roads, our heat, and all the stop-and-go. They’re probably collecting tons of data on how far it can go on a charge and how the battery holds up.

Even though they tried to hide it, you could still peek at the front and see those classic ‘Thor’s Hammer’ headlights peeking out. And it looks like it’ll have a sealed-off grille, just like Volvo’s bigger electric SUVs. Oh, and I also heard it’ll have some snazzy two-tone wheels!

Big News for Your Wallet (Hopefully!)

This sighting is a huge deal for us in India because the EX30 is supposed to be Volvo’s most affordable electric car globally. The word on the street is that Volvo is planning to assemble it right here in India at their factory near Bengaluru. That’s a game-changer! When they do that, they can avoid some of the big import taxes, which means a much better price for us. We’re talking maybe ₹40-45 lakh (ex-showroom). That would make it a super attractive option for anyone looking for a premium electric SUV.

I couldn’t get a look inside this test car, but I’m betting it’ll have that classic clean, minimalist Swedish design Volvo is famous for. Probably a big vertical touchscreen in the middle, running all the Google stuff, which is always nice. And of course, because it’s a Volvo, you know it’s going to be packed with every safety feature imaginable. Think lots of airbags and all those fancy driver-assist systems.

What to Expect Under the Hood

Globally, the EX30 comes with different battery and motor options, so it can go pretty far on a single charge. We’ll have to wait to hear the exact details for India, but they’ll definitely pick the ones that make the most sense for our driving habits.

Honestly, with its compact size (perfect for our cities!), that awesome potential price, and Volvo’s solid reputation for safety and luxury, the EX30 is going to be a serious contender. It’ll be going head-to-head with cars like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.

And get this – the official launch is apparently set for next month, August 2025! So, seeing it on the highway now means they’re really getting ready. Get excited, because the future of electric driving with a touch of Swedish coolness is almost here!
