Volvo Car UK Launches EX30 Cargo, Its First Fully Electric Commercial Vehicle

Volvo EX30 Cargo

Developed from the fully electric EX30 compact SUV, the new Cargo variant delivers additional practicality and load-carrying capability while retaining the comfort, technology and safety of its passenger cars.  

To create the cargo bay, the rear seats have been replaced with a flat floor and an access panel to the lower floor, maximising the payload to 390kg and a load capacity of 1,000 litres. A specially designed payload bulkhead separates the cabin from the cargo area, while modified rear side panels and doors increase available load volume.

Created through a second-stage conversion by Volvo Car UK, the EX30 Cargo transforms the electric SUV into a highly practical commercial vehicle available in two variants: the EX30 Cargo and the EX30 Cross Country Cargo which offers additional ground clearance. The conversion can be applied to both newly ordered vehicles and existing stock, making it available across Model Year (MY) 2026 and Model Year 2027 vehicles.

For MY27, the new P3 (150hp) Extended Range powertrain will be introduced for customers who require lower power output than the P5 (272hp) while still benefiting from impressive electric range of up to 300 miles.

Further enhancing practicality, the EX30 Cargo also benefits from extended rear door access, allowing the doors to open wider for easier loading. An additional cargo work light improves visibility within the load area, while the underfloor subframe introduces extra securing and mounting points to support a range of commercial uses.

As standard, the EX30 Cargo Core is generously equipped, including Safe Space Technology and Google Automotive Services, alongside Adaptive Cruise Control. Front and rear Park Assist, complemented by a rear Park Assist camera, make parking and manoeuvring effortless, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure seamless connectivity on the move.

Automatic LED headlights provide improved visibility, and the 3-phase 11 kW onboard charger with heat pump supports efficient electric driving. The specification is complemented with 18” Aero alloy wheels.

Building on the already standard specification, the EX30 Cargo Plus adds a host of comfort, convenience and design enhancements, including Pilot Assist and Digital Key Plus.

The cabin is elevated with a Harman Kardon premium sound system, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, while two-zone climate control and wireless phone charging further improve usability. Exterior styling is enhanced with a dual-tone roof and 19” Aero alloy wheels.

The EX30 Cargo is on sale now, priced from £36,010 OTR (P5 standard range) and is available exclusively through Volvo Car UK’s fleet sales channels.
