According to Volvo, the model has the smallest lifetime [[carbon footprint]] of any Volvo model to date at {{convert|30|t|lb|-3|abbr=out}} over {{~~convert~~cvt|200000|km|mi|-3~~|abbr=on~~}} miles of driving for both production and operation. It has been achieved in part through a body that contains 25% recycled [[aluminium]], 17% recycled steel and 17% recycled plastic. Being an entry-level model, the company expects around three-quarters of EX30 buyers will be new to the brand.<ref name=":1EX30arrives">{{Cite web |title=New Volvo EX30 arrives at £33,795 with up to 298 miles of range |url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-volvo-ex30-arrives-%C2%A333795-298-miles-range |access-date=2023-07-10 |website=Autocar |language=en}}</ref>

While the model is currently produced in China, the EX30 will be produced at Volvo's existing factory in [[Ghent]], Belgium from 2025 to increase its global production output in line with the company's plan to produce cars closer to its market.<ref name=":1EX30arrives" />

== Trim levels ==

In Europe, two trim levels are offered from launch. '''Plus''' models come with automatic [[LED headlights]], [[adaptive cruise control]], two-zone climate control and heated front seats. '''Ultra''' models receive additional equipment, such as a [[360 degree camera]], park pilot assist, 20 inch wheels and a [[panoramic sunroof]]. The '''Cross Country''' is off-road styled, and has raised ground clearance, which as yet does not have a confirmed release date. A cheaper model called '''Core''', will be released on an unspecified date.<ref name="ex30e"~~>{{Cite web |title=New Volvo EX30 electric crossover to be built in Europe |url=https:~~/~~/www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/volvo-ex30 |access-date=2023-11-11 |website=Autocar |language=en}}</ref~~>▼

== Safety ==

Park Pilot Assist finds available parking spaces, displays them on the center display for the driver to select, and maneuvers the vehicle into the space. The EX30 uses rear radars to detect cyclists and scooters approaching from behind and will sound an alert if an occupant tries to open a door. During highway driving, Pilot Assist will change lanes, maintain a safe distance from adjacent vehicles while passing, and adapt the vehicle's speed to maintain its distance from the vehicle directly in front. It will prompt the driver to steer and escalate warnings if it detects an unresponsive driver. No response will make the car come to a complete stop. Collision avoidance systems help avoid or mitigate collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. It will send audio and visual alerts and brake pulse warnings when a collision risk is detected. If a collision is imminent or the car turns into the path of an oncoming vehicle at an intersection, the car will brake automatically. In some situations, it will steer the car to avoid a collision.<ref name=":0VolvoCarsEX30" />

An infrared sensor on the steering column tracks the driver's eye and head movements, including how fast or slow they blink and how often. This, along with a front-facing camera watching the road to detect erratic driving and a sensor monitoring the steering wheel can detect distracted or drowsy drivers and the car will prompt the driver saying it's time to focus or take a break.<ref name=":0VolvoCarsEX30" />

== Sustainable materials ==

Volvo EX30 uses various recycled metals across the car, including steel and aluminium. Several recycled and renewable materials are used to upholster the seats, dashboard and doors, including old denim, flax and a wool blend that also contains appx 70% recycled polyester.<ref>{{cite web | last=Shaw | first=Kristin | title=~~Volvo’s~~Volvo's new EV could include recycled blue jeans, pine resin, or flax | website=Popular Science | date=2023-11-06 | url=https://www.popsci.com/technology/volvo-ex30-materials/ | access-date=2024-04-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last=Brook-Jones | first=Callum | title=Volvo uses renewable and recycled materials to reduce EX30 ~~SUV’s~~SUV's environmental impact | website=Automotive Interiors World | date=2023-05-25 | url=https://www.automotiveinteriorsworld.com/news/sustainability/volvo-uses-vast-array-of-renewable-and-recycled-materials-to-greatly-reduce-the-ex30-suvs-environmental-impact.html | access-date=2024-04-13}}</ref> Around one fifth of the plastics are recycled.<ref>{{cite web | title=New Volvo EX30 wants to lead in sustainability | website=Fleet Europe | date=2023-06-08 | url=https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energies/europe/features/new-volvo-ex30-wants-lead-sustainability?t%5B0%5D=Volvo&t%5B1%5D=Sustainability&t%5B2%5D=OEM&curl=1 | access-date=2024-04-13}}</ref>
