Cargo variant developed by Volvo's UK arm for business fleets can carry 1000 litres and 390kg
Volvo UK has converted its smallest car, the EX30, into a load-lugging van – and it can be had with the passenger version's 422bhp dual-motor powetrain. Named the EX30 Cargo, it has been designed for business use and is available exclusively through Volvo UK’s fleet sales channels, rather than at dealers.
It loses the regular EX30’s rear seats in favour of a flat-floored cargo bay, which also brings unique doorcards and panelling through the compartment to maximise load space. To that end, its cargo capacity is improved to 1000 litres, up from 318 litres in a normal EX30 with its seats up, while it can lug up to 390kg at a time. The rear doors open wider than on a regular EX30 to allow easier access to its cargo bay, and there are a range of attachment points for securing smaller loads. The rear windows are tinted to help hide the load inside, too. The Cargo conversion can be applied to EX30s in three trims – Core, Plus and the high-riding Cross Country Plus – with a choice of four powertrains with outputs ranging from 148bhp to 422bhp. The latter output gives the passenger version a 0-62mph sprint time of 3.6sec, meaning the van should also the pace to trouble thoroughbred sports cars. “While we are best known for our passenger vehicles, we recognise that business owners and fleets also want the quality, safety and technology that Volvo is renowned for in a compact commercial vehicle too, which is why we created the extremely practical EX30 Cargo,” said Jack Munford, Volvo UK’s head of fleet.
