The Volvo EX30, a popular electric SUV, is now available in a cargo-focused variant designed for businesses that want an eco-friendly and stylish delivery vehicle. This isn’t a ground-up redesign, but rather a conversion by Volvo UK, removing the rear seats to create a functional, image-conscious work van.
Practicality Meets Modern Design
The EX30 Cargo boasts a 1,000-liter cargo space and a 390kg payload—enough for approximately 11 IKEA Billy bookcases. A metal grate separates the load area from the front seats, preventing shifting cargo during aggressive one-pedal driving. Rear doors open wider for easier loading, although tinted windows remain, maintaining a sleek exterior. The aesthetic differences between the Cargo and the standard EX30 are minimal, making it ideal for businesses that prioritize branding.
Trims and Features
Available in Core and Plus trims, even the base models are well-equipped. Core trims include 18-inch wheels, Google-powered infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera, and a heat pump. The Plus trim adds luxuries like heated seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, and a premium Harman Kardon sound system. Both trims come in standard and rugged Cross Country forms.
Powertrain Options
The EX30 Cargo offers two battery options: a 51kWh battery with over 200 miles of range (available in 152bhp or 268bhp versions) and a 69kWh battery exceeding 300 miles of range. The larger battery can be paired with a single 268bhp motor or a powerful twin-motor system delivering 422bhp. The top-spec P8 all-wheel-drive variant accelerates from 0 to 62mph in just 3.6 seconds, making it one of the fastest commercial EVs available.
Availability and Ordering
Orders can be placed through Volvo Cars UK’s fleet sales channel, with options to purchase from existing stock or configure a new model. The base 152bhp version is available from the 2027 model year onward.
The EX30 Cargo fills a niche for businesses seeking an electric van that doesn’t compromise on style or performance, offering a practical solution with a premium edge.
