Report: The 2026 Volvo EX30 is Dead for the U.S. Market

Starting at just more than $40,000, the 2026 Volvo EX30 was going to be the most affordable vehicle in the carmaker’s lineup. We say “was” because according to a report, this relatively cheap all-electric SUV and its off-roady variant, the EX30 Cross Country, are slated for immediate cancellation after only two years of being sold here in the U.S. But that’s not true for our closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico.

According to The Drive, the 2026 Volvo EX30 and EX30 Cross Country have been axed and won’t be offered for sale after March 20. After that, production will wind down for only U.S. units as Canadian, Mexican, and global versions will continue to be produced as normal. It’s a shame as the single-motor version of the EX30 cost just $40,345, with a 261-mile range. That said, the dual-motor EX30 Cross Country was a bit of a disappointment thanks to its lackluster 161-mile MotorTrend Road Trip Range test result for its $49,445 MSRP. That, and its rather tiny size along with those figures.

This news will not affect the production and U.S. sale of the 2027 EX60—launching later this year—and the EX90, which has been upgraded for the 2026 model year.

We reached out to Volvo, and it confirmed the report from The Drive is accurate, stating, “Volvo Cars USA has decided to end sales of the EX30 and EX30 Cross Country in the U.S. market after the 2026 model year. The EX30 will remain available in other markets globally, including Canada and Mexico. Volvo Cars’ commitment to electrification and our customers remains unchanged, and we look forward to continuing to bring exciting new electrified options to our customers in the U.S., including the all-new EX60 and upgraded EX90.” Volvo did not provide a reason for why it is only ending U.S. sales of the EX30.
