Cruising Through Pretoria: Two Months with the Volvo EX30

Review by Rokkit

As the sun sets over the Jacaranda City, and the streets of Pretoria come alive with the hustle and bustle of daily life, there’s one thing that has been consistently turning heads and sparking conversations: my beloved Volvo EX30. Over the past two months, this sleek electric vehicle has been my trusted companion on the roads of South Africa, offering not only unparalleled comfort and convenience but also an eco-friendly driving experience that’s hard to match.

From the moment I first slid into the driver’s seat at CMH Volvo Cars Silver Lakes, I was immediately struck by the luxurious comfort that the Volvo EX30 offers. The plush leather seats cradle me in comfort, while the spacious interior provides ample legroom for even the tallest passengers. Whether I’m navigating through the city streets or embarking on a longer journey, the EX30’s refined cabin ensures that every drive is a pleasure.

But it’s not just the comfort that sets the EX30 apart – it’s also the ease of charging that makes it a game-changer in the world of electric vehicles. With a network of charging stations conveniently located throughout Pretoria, I never have to worry about running out of power. Whether I’m grabbing a coffee at my favourite café or running errands in town, I can easily top up the battery and get back on the road in no time.

Two of my favourite cafe stops, Starbucks and Plato, have become regular charging pit stops during my drives around Pretoria. Whether it’s the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee at Starbucks or the serene ambiance of Plato where I can ponder over a good book, these cafes offer the perfect retreat while my Volvo EX30 gets a quick recharge.

And then there’s Menlyn Maine, a haven for both food enthusiasts and electric vehicle owners alike. On cozy Sunday afternoons after church, I often find myself parked at the charging station at Menlyn Maine, enjoying a leisurely lunch with a bottle of Fat Bastard Golden Reserve. As I savor each bite and sip, I can’t help but appreciate the seamless integration of sustainability into my lifestyle – a luxury that only the Volvo EX30 from CMH Volvo Cars Silver Lakes can provide.

Of course, one of the most enjoyable aspects of driving the Volvo EX30 is the attention it attracts wherever I go. From curious onlookers admiring its sleek design to fellow drivers giving me envious glances at traffic lights, it’s clear that this electric beauty is a head-turner. And while I may not be one to seek out attention, there’s something undeniably satisfying about knowing that I’m driving a vehicle that not only looks good but also contributes to a cleaner, greener future.

But beyond the admiring glances and the smooth rides, what truly makes the Volvo EX30 special is the sense of pride and satisfaction that comes with driving it. With its cutting-edge technology, eco-friendly design, and uncompromising comfort, it’s more than just a mode of transportation – it’s a statement of values and a reflection of my commitment to a better tomorrow.

Thanks to the support and exceptional service at CMH Volvo Cars Silver Lakes, my experience with the Volvo EX30 has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the everyday convenience of easy charging to the undeniable thrill of turning heads wherever I go, it’s clear that the EX30 has truly captured my heart – and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

All-New Volvo EX30 SUV Coming to CMH Volvo Silver Lakes

The recently unveiled Volvo EX30 SUV is coming to South Africa and will be available at CMH Volvo Cars Silver Lakes.

The EX30 will arrive early in 2024, with the five-strong local range set to start at just R775 900, making it R300,000 cheaper than the brand’s previous entry-level EV – the XC40 P6 Recharge. Pre-orders opened at CMH Volvo Cars Silver Lakes on Thursday, 8 June 2023.

This full-EV model, positioned as the smallest SUV in Volvo’s line-up, offers a city- and budget-friendlier option for environmentally-conscious consumers – and those who want to save money by not having to fill up with fuel.

The design features a closed shield grille, digitally rendered Thor’s Hammer headlights, split taillights and a familiar dashboard layout that will appeal to a younger audience. The EX30 also boasts an ascending waistline, creating the illusion of a “floating roof”, and muscular wheel arches that add to its distinctive appearance.

Connectivity is possible thanks to state-of-the-art features, such as a 12.3-inch high-resolution central display (running the latest Android-powered infotainment system), a digital key, over-the-air update functionality and a first-of-its-kind audio-system soundbar.

The small SUV has a high seating position most Volvo drivers prefer and space for five adult occupants. Volvo says the new EX30 rides on the Swedish luxury firm’s purpose-built modular, sustainable electric architecture and measures 4.23 metres long, 1.83 metres wide and 1.55 metres tall, with a wheelbase of 2.65m.

That means the SUV is 192mm shorter from nose to tail than the XC40 and offers new collision-avoidance technology, the latest driver-understanding system, and various safety innovations.

2.3-inch high-resolution central display

Volvo says both single-motor and twin-motor derivatives of the EX30 will be available in South Africa. Meanwhile, battery choices will include high-voltage 51kWh and 69kWh units on three trim levels (Core, Plus and Ultra).

The single-motor option produces 200kW and 343Nm, when combined with a 51kWh battery, allowing the crossover to reach 100km/h in 5.7 seconds and drive for a maximum of 344km.

Alternatively, buyers can opt for an extended-range model with a larger 69kWh cell, which decreases the acceleration time by 0.4 seconds and increases the driving range to 480km.

The more powerful twin motor arrangement then gives the Volvo access to 315kW and 543Nm, letting it sprint to 100km/h in an absurd 3.6 seconds.

Since buying a brand-new vehicle isn’t always financially feasible, many people prefer to buy a used car.

Risks associated with purchasing a new car

Purchasing a used car comes with several benefits as well as risks. Buying cheap is not always the right move. Buyers must be aware of the risks associated with purchasing a used vehicle.

Mechanical issues, unseen damage, expired warranties, and difficulty locating replacement parts are all possible pitfalls of buying a used car, despite the protection guaranteed by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).

Indeed, you have the right to return the vehicle if it does not meet these requirements within six months of purchase. However, note that the protection does not go beyond six months.

The CPA will also not provide legal protection if you were informed of any flaws when concluding the deal.

Hence, we advise buying at CMH Volvo cars Pretoria, a dealer with over ten years of excellent service that protects the CPA prescribed 6 months.

And the folding load floor helps you adapt it to whatever you’re carrying. When your hands are full, the power-operated tailgate on the XC40 makes life easy – it means you only need to move your foot under the rear bumper to open or close it automatically.

Our first pure electric crossover has a streamlined silhouette and contrast roof that create a standout profile! The innovative pixel lights effortlessly consider other road users, and the back-lit ambience adds a contemporary vibe to the cabin.

The C40 Recharge is the first Volvo with a 100 per cent leather-free interior, including steering wheel, gear shifter and upholstery. We believe this represents a new, more respectful interpretation of luxury and how materials can be used in car design. The C40 Recharge will also be available in 7 colours!

When can you order the full electric C40 Recharge?

Launch dates will be revealed soon.

How long can you drive before you need to recharge?

A fully charged battery gives you a projected range of up to 420 KM in mixed driving before you need to recharge. But your real-world range is also affected by your driving style and other circumstances, such as outdoor temperature, weather, wind, topography, and roads. Other factors that impact range include how much electricity you use for car functions such as heating and cooling of the car.

What warranty do Volvo Cars have on the battery?

The Volvo Cars Warranty for the battery is 8 years or 160,000km, whichever occurs first, provided that the car and battery are maintained and used under our recommendations.
