Volvo Car Portugal has announced the start of the EX30 Electric Drive Tour, a national roadshow that aims to introduce and test the EX30, the latest 100% electric SUV from the Swedish brand, the smallest and most sustainable SUV from the brand.
The EX30 Electric Drive Tour starts on May 10 in Braga and ends on June 9 in Faro, covering a total of five cities from north to south of the country (Braga, Porto, Coimbra, Lisbon, and Faro), where interested parties will be able to take test drives scheduled for a specific day and time.
It is worth noting that the new EX30 is based on the Geely Group’s SEA platform, the same one used by the smart #1, and is offered in three versions, based on two powertrain groups and two different types of batteries. The entry-level version, Single Motor, uses an LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery with 51 kWh capacity to power a rear electric motor capable of delivering 272 hp and a maximum torque of 343 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h time of 5.7 seconds, an electronically limited top speed of 180 km/h, and a range of 344 km.
On the other hand, the intermediate variant Single Motor Extended Range uses the same motor but combined with an NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) battery with 69 kWh capacity, offering a range of up to 480 km and achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds.
En revanche, la version haut de gamme Twin Motor Performance est associée à une batterie NMC de 69 kWh et à deux moteurs électriques, offrant une traction intégrale, et une puissance combinée de 428 ch et 543 Nm, avec un temps de 0 à 100 km/h réalisé en seulement 3,6 secondes, un record qui fait de ce modèle le plus rapide de l’histoire de Volvo, la vitesse maximale restant à 180 km/h, pour une autonomie de 466 km.
