Volvo to Drop EX30 From U.S. After 2026 as Dealer Orders Close This Week

Higher tariffs plus lost incentives pushed up costs, prompting a U.S. pivot to larger EVs.

Overview

  • U.S. dealers were told to place final EX30 and EX30 Cross Country orders by March 20, with production for U.S.-bound units winding down after the summer.
  • The EX30 will continue in other markets, including Canada and Mexico, and Volvo says U.S. owners will keep receiving service, parts, warranty coverage, and software updates.
  • Volvo attributes the move to shifting market conditions and financial factors after tariffs forced a shift from China to Belgium and the end of federal EV incentives raised sticker prices.
  • U.S. demand has been modest at about 5,409 units in 2025, and the model was recently recalled globally for roughly 40,000 vehicles over a battery fire risk, with seven fires reported and no injuries.
  • Volvo says its U.S. electrification strategy now emphasizes the incoming EX60 and an upgraded EX90, with EX60 orders expected later this spring.
