Starting at RM188,888! The most affordable Volvo EX30 on the market, challenging Smart #1 and Zeekr X

Volvo EX30 was launched in Malaysia today. The car made its global debut in June last year, built on GEELY's Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA). Due to the acquisition of Volvo by GEELY, the car is currently imported entirely (CBU) from China, but plans to start CKD local assembly in 2025. The car is ranked below the Volvo XC40 and Volvo C40 in the local product line and is an entry-level all-electric SUV. It plans to compete with Smart #1 and the upcoming Zeekr X.
There are three models of the 2024 Volvo EX30 on sale in the country, with prices ranging from RM 188,888 to RM 228,888. It is currently the cheapest and most affordable electric car from Volvo. It comes standard with a five-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty and an eight-year or 160,000 km battery warranty.
2024 Volvo EX30 Plus: RM 188,888
2024 Volvo EX30 Ultra: RM 208,888
2024 Volvo EX30 Ultra Twin Performance: RM 228,888
Regarding the power system, the Plus and Ultra models are equipped with a rear single motor of 200kw and a torque of 242N·m. The cruising range under CLTC conditions can reach 476km, and the zero to hundred acceleration time is 5.3s. The top-of-the-line ultra twin performance model has the highest performance front and rear dual motors, with an output power of up to 315KW and a torque of 543N·m. The cruising range is 450km, and the time for zero to hundred acceleration is 3.6s. Overall, the maximum speed of the three models is equal to 183km/h, and the power performance of the top-equipped model ultra twin performance is the most excellent, with little difference in cruising range.
In terms of charging, the Volvo EX30 supports up to 175kW DC charging, which can charge the vehicle's power from 10% to 80% in less than 30 minutes. For AC charging, Volvo only chooses an 11kW onboard charger for all its models in Malaysia.
The Volvo EX30 is positioned as a C-class car, and is the smallest electric SUV under Volvo, with a body length of 4233mm, a width of 1838mm, a height of 1550mm, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The trunk capacity is 318 liters. If the rear seats are folded down at the ratio of 60:40, it can be expanded to 718 liters, including a 61-liter floor compartment.
In terms of design, the exterior of the Volvo EX30 does not look as heavy as the larger Volvo XC40. The wide body and sloping roof lines create a quite sporty appearance, and overall it looks more light and agile than the Volvo XC40. The exterior of the car offers five color options: blue, gray, white, black and yellow, with the overall color being on the lighter side.
The interior of Volvo adopts a minimalist style design and claims that this car has the lowest carbon footprint in its series. It uses a large amount of sustainable and natural environmental protection materials. The dashboard is equipped with a large flat-panel computer-style display that controls most of the vehicle's functions. Volvo no longer installs speakers on separate doors, but moves them to the integrated Harman Kardon Premium strip speaker on top of the dashboard. Therefore, the doors provide more storage space.

Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Perodua Traz 2025:Spec, Price and Features
Perodua Traz has been officially launched in Malaysia. It is a B-segment five-seater SUV built on the DNGA platform. Compared to the Yaris Cross, which emphasizes brand and quality, the Traz comes with a localized rate of about 95%, offering a more friendly price and practical features.
