That’s why we at Volvo Cars Walnut Creek are delighted that eight Volvo models have earned Car and Driver’s prestigious Editors’ Choice Award for 2025. This honor is bestowed on the leading models in the automotive industry. Perhaps most notable is the EX30 - Volvo’s all-new compact, fully electric SUV

What’s the smallest thing about the EX30? Its price. The Volvo EX30 enters the market as one of the most affordable, luxury EVs available. The EX30 has been talked about for months and we’re excited that it’s finally available and in stock at Volvo Cars Walnut Creek.
