Volvo EX30 Cross Country

THE VOLVO EX30 Cross Country is a bit like a smartphone in a rugged case. While it still has the sleek design and advanced technology of the regular EX30, it's concealed behind an extra layer of protection to help it withstand the harsh conditions of outdoor pursuits.

It's a fun concept that's not entirely new, because the 'Cross Countrification' of Volvos has been a thing since 1997. Previously, the treatment has been visited upon the brand's estate cars, with four-wheel drive, a raised ride height and chunky body cladding the main addenda. Now the Swedish brand is applying the formula to its SUVs and electric cars for the first time.
