Select versions of the all-electric Volvo EX30 have been hit with nominal price rises for the 2025 model year, as the first vehicles begin to touch down on Australian roads.

    The 2025 Volvo EX30 lineup continues to open at $59,990 plus on-road costs for the entry-level Single Motor Extended Plus variant, though the higher spec Single Motor Extended Ultra and Twin Performance Ultra have been hit with $1300 price rises.

    No adjustments to specification have been applied to offset the costs, with Volvo Cars Australia’s justification being the increased cost of shipping.

    Having initially been earmarked for a late-2023 arrival, first examples of the Volvo EX30 are arriving now in Australia, with an initial batch of around 300 units kicking off a confirmed calendar year allocation of 3900 vehicles for 2024.

    Pricing

    Pricing for the entry-level Plus hasn’t changed, though the Ultra variants have seen $1300 increases.

    Model$RRP
    2025 Volvo EX30 Single Motor Extended Plus$59,990
    2025 Volvo EX30 Single Motor Extended Ultra$66,290 (+$1300)
    2025 Volvo EX30 Twin Performance Ultra$71,290 (+$1300)
