<\/div>\n

The Volvo EX30<\/a> Cargo has been unveiled as the latest example of a popular electric car<\/a> being given the cargo-van treatment for image-conscious businesses.<\/p>\n

Available to order now from \u00a336,010 on the road, the EX30 Cargo features an enlarged boot, thanks to the removal of the second row of seats. This creates a flat loading bay, perfect for IKEA trips or any other hauling, resulting in 1,000 litres of stowage capacity and a maximum payload of 390kg \u2013 the equivalent to, in case you were wondering, roughly 11 IKEA Billy bookcases. <\/p>\n

To ensure shipments don\u2019t fly into the cockpit whenever EX30 Cargo drivers make use of the car\u2019s one-pedal driving capability, the SUV<\/a>-based van also gets a metal grate between the front seats and the load area. The rear doors can also open wider for easier access, although the tinted glass windows still remain. In fact, there are no real visible differences between the Cargo and the standard EX30, mainly due to the fact that it\u2019s in effect an aftermarket conversion by Volvo UK.<\/p>\n

The EX30 Cargo is available in two trims \u2013 Core and Plus \u2013 and can be had in both standard and rugged Cross Country form. Even Core models come pretty generously equipped for a cargo van, with 18-inch wheels, Google-powered infotainment, Apple CarPlay<\/a> and Android Auto<\/a> connectivity, adaptive cruise control<\/a>, a reversing camera and a heat pump<\/a>. Plus trim adds heated seats and a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control<\/a>, wireless phone charging, a Harman Kardon sound system, two-tone paint and larger 19-inch alloys.<\/p>\n

In terms of powertrains, two battery options are offered: 51kWh and 69kWh. The former should provide a range in excess of 200 miles \u2013 the standard EX30 is rated at 214 miles \u2013 and can be had in either 152bhp or 268bhp forms. The larger battery, Volvo says, is sufficient for more than 300 miles on a single charge, and can be had with the rear-mounted 268bhp motor or, if you\u2019re offering an express-delivery service, a twin-motor system that boasts 422bhp. With all-wheel drive grip, this range-topping P8 model is capable of 0-62mph in just over three-and-a-half seconds.<\/p>\n

Customers can order from existing previous model year stock, or configure a brand-new model from scratch; the base 152bhp model is only available for the 2027 model year and onwards. Interested buyers must contact Volvo Cars UK\u2019s fleet sales channel to place their order.<\/p>\n
