Motorists are warming to the idea of reducing carbon emissions in the face of climate change and this is evidenced by the fact Volvo Car South Africa has sold 467 units between January and September 2024.
With a three-car-strong range of cutting-edge battery-electric vehicles, Volvo is currently leading the premium electric segment, outpacing rivals in the luxury arena. In the months leading up to October, 348 units of the EX30 were sold, with the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge following at 96 and 23 units, respectively.

“We have reached new sales heights in the first nine months of the year, driven by strong demand for the EX30,” said Markus Cromwell, Commercial Director at Volvo Car South Africa. “With a starting price of R791 900, The EX30 delivers exceptional value in the premium electric car segment. As we move closer to our goal of becoming an all-electric automaker - and prepare to introduce the exciting EX90 flagship locally - we anticipate our EV sales figures will set new records.”
With a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3,6 seconds (for the Twin Motor Performance), it is no surprise the EX30 is the best-selling premium EV in South Africa. During this period, the XC40 Recharge was Volvo SA’s second-best-selling electric vehicle, with 96 units delivered to satisfied customers.
“Our overall numbers reflect Volvo’s strong value proposition for our new and existing clientele. As we continue to make inroads into the South African EV market, we see significant potential for growth” added Cromwell.
