Volvo’s compact EX30 electric crossover is getting the Swedish automaker’s Cross Country treatment for 2026, and that means the popular little car is getting all sorts of soft-roading goodies like more plastic cladding,

Along with the single-motor EX30, the rugged-looking EX30 Cross Country is due before the end of the 2025 calendar year.

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.

Swedish automaker Volvo has unveiled the EX30 Cross Country, a major milestone in its product lineup. The new model is the first electric vehicle from Volvo to receive a Cross Country badge. The company plans to introduce several new models in the next two years, with the EX30 Cross Country leading this wave of innovation.

Volvo has put walking boots and a storm jacket onto its EX30 electric SUV to continue a long, fine tradition of off-road Swedish motors that like to get muddy. This is the new EX30 Cross Country, which is a… city car able to have a splash in some puddles.

It is available only in all-wheel-drive guise “from launch”, said Volvo, indicating a single-motor variant could adopt the Cross Country tag in the future. As with the standard EX30, the 4x4 set-up draws power from a 69kWh battery, which feeds two motors for a combined 422bhp and offers 264 miles of range.
