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.

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 revealed a new, tougher version of its EX30 compact electric SUV, as it fits the Cross Country badge to an electric car for the very first time.

The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is transforming the electric SUV market by offering a vehicle that combines the best of both worlds: Volvo's renowned safety

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.

Swedish style and electric luxury on a budget is the Volvo EX30 ’s sales pitch — and while it’s not yet on sale here in the U.S., Volvo is already adding a Cross Country model to the lineup to give it a bit more off-road panache.

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.

The Volvo EX30 Cross Country might look familiar, because this production car is indistinguishable from the prototype model that was revealed alongside the EX30 in 2023. Volvo says that we can expect the Cross Country to join the EX30 line-up by the summer,
