, ‘On the 4th, Volvo Cars Korea launched the EX30 Cross Country model, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The pre-incentive sales price is set at 55.16 million won, which Volvo Cars Korea explains is cheaper compared to the UK (approximately 85.2 million won), Sweden (approximately 89.91 million won), and Japan (approximately 60.95 million won).’,
,
, ‘The most notable feature of the EX30 Cross Country, unveiled at the Seoul Volvo Yongsan showroom, is the Black Shield design. While the standard model has a front grille that harmonizes with the exterior, the Cross Country model features the Black Shield design. The surface of the shield is engraved with the topography of the Kebnekaise mountain range from the Abisko area in the Swedish Arctic, along with latitude and longitude coordinates.’,
,
, ‘The EX30 Cross Country is equipped with an all-wheel drive (AWD) twin motor specification, which is not available in the standard model. There are currently no plans to apply the twin motor to the standard model, according to Volvo Cars Korea. This vehicle reaches 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, comparable to the BMW i4 M60 and Porsche Taycan GTS. It has a motor output of 428 horsepower and a maximum torque of 55.4 kg·m.’,

It is equipped with nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) battery cells supplied by China\’s Senvoda. The ground clearance is 19 mm higher than the standard model, reducing the risk of underbody damage when driving on rough terrain.’,
,
, ‘According to the Korea Automobile Importers & Distributors Association (KAIDA), 980 EX30 units have been newly registered domestically from January to July this year, and the accumulated sales are estimated to be over 1,000 units, including August sales. However, the demand and reservation status of the twin motor specification for domestic customers has not yet been disclosed.’,
