Volvo's smallest electric SUV, the used Volvo EX30 blends premium comfort, big-car safety and Google-powered tech in a compact, easy-to-park package-ideal for city drivers, commuters and young families. Explore fully checked examples with Vertu, backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee and flexible finance; find your next used Volvo EX30 today.
Compact on the outside, thoughtfully packaged within and fully electric throughout, the EX30 is Volvo's entry point into electric motoring, and its smallest, most city-friendly car. It brings the brand's design and safety credentials to a price and footprint that suit urban life, without feeling like a downgrade.
Choosing a used EX30 makes an already keenly priced EV more affordable still, with the first owner having taken the early depreciation. Because it is a recent model, used examples are modern, well-equipped and often still within their original warranty.
That cover transfers to you as the new keeper, and every EX30 at Vertu is checked and prepared before it reaches the forecourt. For anyone wanting to go electric in a premium but compact package, the used EX30 is one of the most appealing small EVs available.
Want to see how the EX30 looks and drives before choosing a used example? Our video review above walks through the cabin, technology, and electric driving experience in detail.
Yes, especially for drivers ready to switch to electric without moving up to a large, expensive SUV. Despite its compact size, the EX30 offers surprising performance and genuinely usable range across its line-up.
The Single Motor Version uses a 272hp rear-mounted motor, with a standard battery giving up to 209 miles and the Long Range battery extending that to around 300 miles on the WLTP cycle. The flagship Twin Motor Performance adds a second motor for all-wheel drive and 428hp, covering 0-62mph in a remarkable 3.6 seconds while still returning up to 280 miles of range.
Rapid charging brings the battery from 10 to 80% in under half an hour on a suitable connection. Every used EX30 sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record.
The EX30 fits a range of electric-car buyers. The table below pairs four of them with the version that suits best.
| Buyer Type | Why the EX30 Fits |
|---|---|
| City drivers going electric | At 4,233mm long with a tight 10.7-metre turning circle, the EX30 is easy to park and thread through town, with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. |
| Longer-distance commuters | The P5 Long Range battery offers around 300 miles on the WLTP cycle, easing range anxiety for those covering bigger daily distances. |
| Performance-minded drivers | The 428hp Twin Motor Performance covers 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds, giving genuine hot-hatch pace in a compact electric SUV. |
| Buyers wanting light off-road style | The EX30 Cross Country adds extra ground clearance, skid plates and rugged styling for a more adventurous look. |
The EX30's interior takes a minimalist approach, centred on a single 12.3-inch portrait touchscreen that houses almost all the car's functions, running Google Automotive Services with built-in Maps and Assistant. A dashboard soundbar replaces conventional door speakers, freeing up storage, and recycled and renewable materials feature throughout the cabin in keeping with the car's sustainability focus.
For a small car it is cleverly packaged, with a flexible load floor, a front storage compartment and plenty of interior cubbies. Higher grades bring a Harman Kardon sound system, a panoramic roof, a 360-degree camera and power front seats, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard across the range.
Home charging runs through a Type 2 port, with an 11kW on-board charger as standard and 22kW available on Ultra. Once an EX30 reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and servicing it through Vertu's Volvo-trained colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place, including the eight-year high-voltage battery cover.
The EX30 climbs through Core, Plus and Ultra, with Black Edition styling variants and the rugged Cross Country alongside them. The table below shows how equipment builds across the three core ascending grades.
These details reflect the 2027 model-year specification, described by Volvo as preliminary. As a recent model the EX30's used examples will closely match this, but specification can change year to year, so confirm the details of any specific car with your local dealership.

Every used Volvo EX30 at Vertu goes through the same preparation before it reaches the forecourt, covered by our used car preparation policy. That means an HPI finance check, a full mechanical and battery-system inspection, and confirmation the car has never been used as a taxi or recorded as a salvage or write-off.
If you're replacing an existing car, Vertu's part-exchange process gives a free, instant online valuation before you commit to anything, and finance options including PCP and HP are available on every used EX30 in stock. Our finance explained guide covers how each option works in plain English.

The Volvo EX30 offers up to 209 miles on the standard Single Motor battery and up to around 300 miles on the Single Motor Long Range, both on the WLTP cycle. The 428hp Twin Motor Performance offers up to 280 miles despite its extra pace.
Real-world range depends on weather, driving style and battery condition, so it is worth checking the state of health of any used example.
The Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance produces 428hp and covers 0-62mph in just 3.6 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating Volvo the brand has produced. Its dual-motor layout also provides all-wheel-drive traction.
The single-motor versions are still brisk, covering 0-62mph in the low-to-mid five-second range.
On a rapid DC charger, the EX30 charges from 10 to 80% in around 26 to 28 minutes depending on battery and charger output. At home, an 11kW wallbox gives a full charge overnight, and Ultra models add faster 22kW AC charging.
Charging times vary with temperature, battery condition and the charger used.
The EX30 Cross Country is a more rugged version of the electric EX30, adding around 19mm of extra ground clearance, front and rear skid plates, wheel-arch extensions and Cross Country branding. It is aimed at buyers wanting a more adventurous look and light off-road ability.
It shares the standard EX30's motors and batteries, with slightly lower range figures due to its raised, chunkier setup.
The Volvo EX30 offers 400 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, rising to 1,000 litres with them folded, plus a 19-litre storage compartment under the bonnet for charging cables. That is competitive for a compact electric SUV.
A flexible load floor and various cabin cubbies help make the most of the EX30's compact dimensions.
Every used Volvo EX30 sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt. That means confirmed free of outstanding finance, never used as a taxi, and free of any salvage or write-off history, alongside a full mechanical and battery-system inspection.
That preparation also covers bodywork and wheel refurbishment, interior repairs where needed, and a minimum of six months or 6,000 miles before the next service or MOT is due. Full details are in our used car preparation policy.
