The stunning all-electric compact crossover is now available in the UAE from Al-Futtaim Trading Enterprises, at a starting price of AED 149,900.
Al-Futtaim Trading Enterprises, the authorized dealer of Volvo Cars in the UAE, is pleased to announce that the small SUV Volvo EX30 has scooped the prestigious Red Dot award: Best of the Best Product Design 2024.
The award recognises excellence in design based on four basic principles of good design: the quality of function, the quality of seduction, the quality of use, and the quality of responsibility. The jury of 39 experts from all over the world selected the EX30 as the winner in a competitive field with a total score of 93/100.
“The Volvo EX30 embodies Volvo Cars’ design values in a smaller format and is a showcase in premium Scandinavian design where form follows function,” says Jim Rowan, CEO at Volvo Cars. “The EX30 shows the lowest carbon footprint of any fully electric Volvo car to date and is designed to be as safe as you’d expect from a Volvo car. It is packed with cutting edge technology and a perfect fit for today’s market as a growing number of car buyers switch to electric cars.”
Beyond its design credentials, the car has received global recognition for its outstanding performance, offering a driving range of up to 476km while its battery can be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in a little over 25 minutes. The Volvo EX30 is equipped with a comprehensive set of advanced driver-assistance systems, significantly enhancing driver’s confidence. These features include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and Pilot Assist, which helps keep a safe distance from the car ahead.
Use of natural and recycled materials in the car serve as a step towards sustainability targets. Additionally, Volvo Cars utilized the space in the electric vehicle and created a centralised theme for everything from storage to controls and screens, resulting in a flexible space with premium proportions.
A multi-awarded car
The EX30 was revealed last summer globally and has already won more than 20 major awards, including the prestigious Car Design award 2024, established in1984 by auto&design magazine. It has also received The Sun Car of the Year, World Urban Car from World Car of the Year, the Small SUV/Crossover of the Year award from the Sunday Times, and the Eco Warrior of the Year award from Top Gear magazine.
The fully electric EX30 is now available in the UAE, with a starting price of AED 149,900. Visit Volvo showrooms today to schedule your test drive and embrace the future of urban mobility.
