Volvo India introduced its cheapest electric SUV, the EX30, at an introductory price of ₹39.99 lakh to first adopters. The Swedish car manufacturer is applying this special price only to customers who book in advance before October 19, 2025, because after that, the price will increase to ₹41 lakh. This planned introduction makes the EX30 the most affordable luxury electric car in the fast-growing premium EV market in India.
Limited-time pricing will introduce a sense of urgency to early adopters
NDTV Auto reports that Volvo has introduced the EX30 electric SUV in the Indian market with an introductory price of Rs 41 lakh (ex-showroom vehicle). This has made the car the cheapest brand in the country among the vehicles sold under the name. To make the package even juicier around the season, the brand is also giving the SUV for Rs 39.99 lakh (ex-showroom) to those who pre-reserve the car before 19 October 2025.
Autocar India suggests that the introductory volume of the Volvo EX30 at Rs 39.99 lakh is a reasonably priced EV of entry-level luxury nature, albeit in competition with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, BYD Sealion 7, BMW iX1, Kia EV6, and the Mini Countryman Electric. The new Volvo EV will become the most affordable entry-level luxury EV even after it starts selling at higher prices, when the EX30 is priced above Rs 41 lakh.
The deliveries of the EX30, which is locally assembled at the Volvo plant in Hosakote, Bengaluru, will start in the first week of November. The Volvo EX30 will be competing with other companies like Mercedes-Benz EQA, Hyundai Ioniq 5, BYD Sealion 7, and BMW iX1 in the Indian market.
