New To Driving Or New To EV? 5 Reasons Why The Volvo EX30 Is The Ultimate First
Getting your first car is a big deal. It’s about freedom, confidence and independence, as you step into the world of adulthood and start making choices that reflect your personal style and values. With the UAE recently lowering the minimum driving age to 17, this milestone is closer than ever. But making sure you choose the right car can be overwhelming.
Enter the Volvo EX30: a fully electric compact SUV that’s safe, stylish, affordable, and ideal for the next generation of drivers. Whether you’re heading to uni, starting your first job, or simply upgrading your everyday ride– this car ticks all the boxes. Here’s why:
1. Safety that has your back
Getting confident behind the wheel takes time- especially if you are a new driver or driving an electric vehicle for the first time. Equipped with Volvo’s world-class safety features, the EX30’s advanced driver assistance systems support you every step (or turn) along the way.
- Advanced collision avoidance to keep crashes away
- Driver alert system for those “too tired to drive” days
- 360° camera for zero blind spots
- Door opening alerts to protect cyclists and runners
No wonder it scored a full 5 stars in Euro NCAP tests!
2. Easy on the wallet
You can now own the fully electric Volvo EX30 starting from AED 99,900 – arguably the best EV offer in the UAE market right now. Volvo UAE is also giving drivers the option of choosing an all-inclusive package of 1 year of free insurance, a complementary home charger and 5 Years Warranty and Roadside Assistance across any trim – the EX30 makes going electric easier than ever. Plus, 3 years of maintenance is on the house!
3. It features epic tech
Packed with all the tech a car will ever need like a 12.3” tablet-style centre display, built-in navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, ambient lighting to suit your mood, driving modes, world-class infotainment and a premium sound system, the EX30 simplifies driving. Just say “Hey Google” to control everything from calls, navigation and climate control.
4. Small but mighty
Compact in build, smooth to drive and aesthetically designed, the EX30 is small enough to zip through city streets, sizable enough for small groups to hang out and is loaded with features such as the park pilot assist that can handle all types of parking spaces.
5. Good for you. Great for the planet
Designed to have the smallest carbon footprint of any Volvo car to date, the EX30 is one of the most sustainable Volvos with all its interiors made from recycled material (Textile, Wool and Nordico blend) and comes in four expressive interiors.
It offers 540KM* range on a single charge and fast charges from 10% to 80% in just 26.5 minutes. And fuel? Forget it — this EV means no more petrol stops!
The Volvo EX30 is more than a car – it’s a statement that says you value safety, smart tech, sustainability, and you’re ready to drive your future. Because when you’re choosing your first EV car, why not Choose Differently?
