The EX30 Twin Motor Performance flaunts its title as “the fastest-accelerating Volvo car ever” in a drag race against a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range.
When you think of high-performance electric cars, Tesla’s lineup is probably one of the first to come to mind. This is especially true in drag races, where cars like the Tesla Model S Plaid and Model 3 Long Range's straight-line acceleration excel. On the other hand, Volvo probably does not come to mind when you think of racing excitement. Volvo typically brings to mind a wealth of safety features, clean interior design and shuttling your children to after-school activities.
In the first run of the quarter mile, the EX30 pulls away from the Model 3 right off the line and never looks back. The second run results were more of the same, with the Model 3 unable to keep up with the EX30’s acceleration.
