Exterior Dimensions
The Volvo EX30 dimensions are fairly straightforward: They are smaller than all other Volvo SUVs, but still allow for a relatively spacious interior. The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is an off-road-oriented variant with slightly different measurements, as detailed below.
We invite you to take a look at the exterior dimensions in the following chart. To give them a sense of scale, we've also included how they compare to the familiar Volvo XC40. Of course, you can always visit Volvo Cars Marin to explore the Volvo EX30 exterior dimensions in person.

Interior Dimensions
The new Volvo EX30 for sale may surprise you inside. It is indeed the smallest Volvo SUV, but the front seats can actually be more spacious than those in the Volvo XC40. And, like the exterior dimensions, the Cross Country model introduces some variances to the Volvo EX30 size.
See below to discover these different Volvo EX30 interior dimensions, plus the Volvo XC40 size for reference.

Cargo & Storage
The Volvo EX30 cargo space is up to 12.4 cubic feet with all seats in use, which is enough for a bag of golf clubs, a foldable stroller, or (per Car and Driver testing) seven carry-on suitcases.1 Alongside this, you can access a front trunk (called a "frunk") for an additional 0.2 cubic feet of storage room. Folding the rear seats gives you the most cargo-capable Volvo EX30 dimensions, namely 27.8 cubic feet of cargo volume, which should be enough for 18 carry-on suitcases.1
As the Volvo EX30 dimensions are undeniably small, Volvo designers focused on maximizing interior practicality beyond the cargo area. You will find additional storage spaces, including a compartment under the trunk floor, a center-console storage box, door pockets that can double as cupholders, retractable cupholders, a center console tunnel, and more.
To see if all this fits into your lifestyle, visit Volvo Cars Marin in San Rafael, CA, and discover our Volvo EX30 specials to make the decision easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Volvo EX30?
The Volvo EX30 is 166.7 inches long, which makes it one of the most nimble SUVs on the market. Alongside the Volvo EX30 length, this model measures 72.4 inches wide without mirrors and 61.2 inches tall. It also has a remarkably agile 35.1-foot turning circle. Despite being a smaller EV SUV, the Volvo EX30 can comfortably seat five people.
How much ground clearance does the Volvo EX30 have?
The Volvo EX30 has 6.7 inches of ground clearance, while the Volvo EX30 Cross Country boasts a raised ride height that delivers 7.5 inches of ground clearance. Both of these measurements are adequate for most campsites. The Volvo EX30 Cross Country, however, is better suited to those who take adventuring more seriously, as it also features skid plates, front and rear shields, wheel arch extensions, and additional upgrades.
Can three adults fit comfortably in the back seat of the Volvo EX30?
The back seat of a Volvo EX30 has three spots and provides 38.3 inches of headroom, 32.3 inches of legroom, 53 inches of shoulder room, and 46.3 inches of hip room. Since these are not expansive dimensions, filling the Volvo EX30 back seat with adults is typically only recommended for short trips. Kids and teens will fit fine.
Does the Volvo EX30 have a frunk?
Yes, the Volvo EX30 has a front trunk (also known as a "frunk") where the engine bay would otherwise be. This frunk allows for 0.2 cubic feet of storage room, which complements the maximum 12.4 cubic-foot cargo capacity in the traditional trunk space. Additionally, folding the rear seats of the Volvo EX30 will expand the interior cargo room to 27.8 cubic feet.
How many carry-on suitcases fit in the trunk of a Volvo EX30?
According to Car and Driver testing, you can fit seven carry-on suitcases in the trunk of a Volvo EX30 with all five seats upright.1 If you fold the rear seats, you will instead get room for two people and around 18 carry-on suitcases inside the Volvo EX30.1 For reference, the maximum Volvo EX30 trunk space is 27.8 cubic feet.
Will a stroller fit in the Volvo EX30 cargo space?
Yes, a foldable stroller will likely fit in the Volvo EX30 cargo space. This area, with the rear seats upright, measures 28 inches deep, 39.1 inches wide at the floor, and 22 inches tall (when measured to the seatback), which can easily accommodate a folded Thule Shine stroller. The Volvo EX30 offers up to 27.8 cubic feet of cargo space, enough to fit furniture like a dresser.

The process with Sales Associate Joaquin Cerda was no pressure, easy and transparent, and you had just the car I was looking for. I was trading up from my starter electric car to the new EX30. Joaquin also took all the time necessary to review the car's navigation system and electronics with me, so I felt secure driving off in my new Volvo. Thank you!

We were looking for a new car and we got very lucky that Volvo Cars Marin was one of the only dealerships carrying the car we wanted. We were working with Mauricio Aviles when we first checked out the car. We LOVE working with Mauricio. He was not pushy at all, very friendly and made the car buying process seamless. This was actually the best buying experience for me. There was no pressure and we were in and out and we had our new car! I just wished this place was a tad closer so I could bring the car in for maintenance when the time comes. We will def come back here when we are in the market for a new car. THANK YOU MAURICIO!

I had an outstanding experience purchasing my new EX30. Travis Evora walked me through the whole process. He helped me back in 2024 when I test drove the EX90. The car was too big for me and discussed the option of the smaller ex30. It was not yet available and he recommended I preorder the car. With his wise advice I received the perfect car for me. Much smaller, ultra package that I desired and the unusual moss yellow color, exactly what I wanted. The day of purchase he spent much time with me and helped set the car up and provided a comprehensive tutorial. We went on a drive and I learned how an electric car functions . We got photos of my new car with a big red bow. Travis was really helpful and made a stressful day absolutely fun !
