The vehicle’s structural integrity and advanced restraint systems meet Volvo’s rigorous safety standards, ensuring exceptional crash resilience. Its active safety technologies further enhance protection, including a driver alert system that reacts before the driver, an Intersection Auto Brake to prevent collisions at intersections, and a Door Opening Alert to reduce the risk of ‘dooring’ accidents with cyclists.
The accolades for the Volvo EX30 extend beyond safety ratings. At the 2024 World Car Awards, it was named World Urban Car, highlighting its adaptability to modern city lifestyles.

Furthermore, it received the prestigious Red Dot ‘Best of the Best’ Design Award, scoring an impressive 93/100 for usability and aesthetics.
Beyond its accolades in safety and design, the Volvo EX30 has been recognized for its driving performance.
