The Volvo EX30 is the brand's first car under new distributor HARI

There are many considerations in choosing a vehicle, more so now in the era of electrification. If you're on the lookout for the safest offering in the market, the Volvo EX30 should be at the top of your list.

This battery-electric subcompact EV crossover retails for P2,990,000 and along with that is the brand's signature top-tier safety features and more.

The new Volvo EX30 features a sleek yet minimalist look on its exterior. The T-shaped DRL adorns the front fascia and cleverly hides the headlights. There's no grille to house the signature Volvo logo and instead, only a small air intake by the lower lip of the front bumper.

Volvo took minimalism to Tesla levels in the cabin by having most controls in the massive vertical touchscreen. There isn't even an instrument cluster by the steering wheel anymore. They went as far as removing any electronic control on the doors that in exchange, gave them space for cubby holes.
