With the ever-increasing fuel price in South Africa, we’ve taken a look at the all-new Volvo EX30 and how it could benefit you to change to electric driving. With rising concerns of load shedding, it doesn’t seem viable in the 2024 economic climate, but here’s why we recommend you give it a go.
The electric Volvo EX30 is designed to be more than just an eco-friendly vehicle. In essence, it’s giving South Africans a shot at luxury electric driving while also making it easily accessible to the country’s citizens. Whilst South Africa’s infrastructure for charging EVs still has a way to go, here are some reasons why we can recommend it is the ideal vehicle for urban driving.
Starting at R775 900, this electric vehicle allows you to own a piece of the future, giving you bang for your buck and not draining your funds. It’s not a shabby price for a Volvo branded electric car and it certainly ticks the SUV checkbox.
This beauty can go from 0 – 100km/h in a whopping 3,6 seconds. The Volvo EX30 features powertrains ranging from a humble 200kW to an astonishing 315kW. What more could a driver want?
We understand that we live in an economy that suffers the repercussions of power failure and load shedding, however, even on long road trips, this slick ride can cover 476 km on only one charge. Ultimately, we say that’s a win since it’s 476 km of petrol you didn’t need to buy.
Knowing that you get to reduce your carbon footprint is such a green flag in 2024. Not only does the Volvo EX30 sport a sleek design and futuristic interior, but it also allows you to do your part and act more environmentally conscious. Also, the interiors are made from renewable and recyclable interiors, which makes it even more of a no-brainer.
Volvo as a brand is renowned for its safety. With a rating of 5.0 overall, you can sleep peacefully knowing you and your family travel with optimum safety in the Volvo EX30. There is also peace of mind knowing that you have a 100 000km/5 year Volvo warranty – added safety and added savings!
If this doesn’t change your life, then we don’t know what would! Plus, you can order it online. All in all, this car offers performance, safety, cost-effectiveness, sustainability and convenience!
