Volvo Car UK has expanded its electric vehicle line-up with the introduction of the EX30 Cargo, a new car-derived van designed specifically for business and fleet customers.

Designed from the electric EX30 compact SUV, the new Cargo variant adds load-carrying capability while keeping the comfort, technology and safety of its passenger cars.  

To create the cargo bay, the rear seats have been replaced with a flat floor and an access panel to the lower floor, maximising the payload to 390kg and a load capacity of 1,000 litres. A specially designed payload bulkhead separates the cabin from the cargo area, while modified rear side panels and doors increase available load volume.

The EX30 Cargo has two variants: the EX30 Cargo and the EX30 Cross Country Cargo which offers additional ground clearance. The conversion can be applied to both newly ordered vehicles and existing stock.

For the model year 2027, the new P3 (150hp) Extended Range powertrain will be introduced for customers who require lower power output than the P5 (272hp) while still benefiting from impressive electric range of up to 300 miles. 

Further enhancing practicality, the EX30 Cargo also benefits from extended rear door access, allowing the doors to open wider for easier loading. An additional cargo work light improves visibility within the load area, while the underfloor subframe introduces extra securing and mounting points to support a range of commercial uses.

Jack Munford, Head of Fleet at Volvo Car UK, said: “While we are best known for our passenger vehicles, we recognise that business owners and fleets also want the quality, safety and technology that Volvo is renowned for in a compact commercial vehicle too, which is why we created the extremely practical EX30 Cargo.”

The EX30 Cargo continues to meet Volvo’s stringent safety standards. The vehicle has undergone comprehensive testing to ensure that all safety systems perform as intended, maintaining the high levels of protection that all Volvo vehicles offer.

The vehicle is available with the P3 (150hp) or P5 (272hp) powertrains in Extended Range form or P5 and with the standard range. The powerful P8 (428hp) All Wheel Drive powertrain is also offered for those seeking even higher performance. Two trims are available: Core and Plus, alongside the Cross Country Plus.

The EX30 Cargo is on sale now, priced from £36,010 OTR (P5 standard range) and is available exclusively through Volvo Car UK’s fleet sales channels.
