Volvo has introduced a darker variant of its smallest electric SUV. The Volvo EX30 Black Edition arrives in the United Kingdom with a fully blacked-out design. Chrome accents disappear. Gloss black elements take over.
Exterior Design
The Black Edition uses Onyx Black paint across nearly every surface. The grille emblem, rear lettering, badges, roof spoiler, and 19-inch wheels all match the dark finish. The result is a stealth-focused appearance with minimal contrast.
Interior Theme
Inside, buyers get the Indigo interior. Deep blue textiles replace lighter trims. Volvo adds decorative panels made from upcycled denim. The cabin layout remains unchanged. A 12.3-inch vertical touchscreen controls navigation, media, climate, and vehicle functions.
Battery and Range
Two powertrain options are available:
Single Motor Extended Range
- 69 kWh battery
- Up to 295 miles (WLTP)
- 0–62 mph in 5.3 seconds
Twin Motor Performance

The Twin Motor variant holds the title as the fastest-accelerating production Volvo.
