US EditionVolvo to Discontinue EX30 in US Later This Year
Volvo will cease U.S. sales of the EX30 after 2026, citing market shifts and tariffs; 5,409 units sold in 2025, while production continues for Canada and Mexico.
- The Drive first reported that Volvo Car USA will end U.S. sales of the EX30 and EX30 Cross Country after the 2026 model year, a move confirmed to Car and Driver.
- Following an internal review, the company cited a thorough evaluation of strategies amid shifting market conditions, with tariffs and a cooling U.S. EV market pushing production from China to Ghent, Belgium to avoid the 100% tariff on China-made EVs.
- The EX30 offered a $40,345 starting price with up to 261 miles EPA range; sales fell from 542 in September to 184 in October, with tech complaints and a 40,000-unit recall reported.
- Dealers were told they have until March 20, 2026 to place U.S. orders for the EX30 and EX30 Cross Country, and Volvo says production will wind down after this summer while the EX40, EX60, and EX90 continue selling.
- Industry observers note that Seth Goldstein said, 'The decision to discontinue the EX30 was part of a shifting EV landscape,' as CarGurus data show dealer EV sales declined and Kevin Roberts observed 'Over the past several days, we've seen a lift in shopper views of EV listings.
