Get in-depth info on the 2025 Volvo EX30 including prices, specs, reviews, options, safety and reliability ratings.
Before Volvo launched the EX90, the Swedish automaker — already known as a pioneer in safety — repeatedly stressed how much work it had done to raise the bar for safety in its new electric SUV. Almost every new release included lines like,"The standard safety in the Volvo EX90 is also higher than any Volvo car before it," and"The Volvo EX90 has an invisible shield of safety enabled by our latest sensing technology, inside and outside.
To prove a point about the safety of the EX30, Volvo's in-house crash-test lab performed a side impact test, running its largest car, the EX90, into the side of its smallest, the EX30. We don't get to see any interior view of the EX30 during the test or afterward. In an Automotive News Europe video about the crash and the results, Lotta Jakobsson from the Volvo Cars Safety Center says the data showed that the two"small-sized females" sitting on the struck side"were well protected" in the crash, with minimal infliction of injury.
The physical design of both cars helps make this happen. The EX30 was designed to disperse all of its forces around the structure of the car for"balanced interaction" during an event. That's pretty standard stuff. On the EX90, a piece of the lower front structure juts ahead of the vehicle's primary safety structure.
Check out the vid and for Jakobsson's take on how current trends in structural, passive, and active safety won't rid the world of crashes, but they are reducing injuries while at the same time making crashes less common.
