Meet Shweta Sekhon’s favourite powerhouse
It’s a familiar story to almost any woman in the workforce—as soon as you see golden petals streaking across the sky, she’s already setting her priorities for the day. Not surprisingly, Shweta Sekhon has mastered this on-the-go style with ease. For a career woman like her, time is undoubtedly her greatest asset, so ring-fencing when she steps out for the day is the best way to find efficiency. To meld work and play seamlessly, the model and host looks towards Volvo to cruise her around the city and other terrains.
Here’s how the Volvo EX30 fits into Shweta Sekhon’s buzzing lifestyle:
Petite yet powerful, like Sekhon, the Volvo EX30 is one of her favourite powerhouses to take her from high-powered meetings in the morning to social gatherings at night. It’s the perfect companion for an active day commute. “The Volvo EX30 has been an absolute dream on the road for me, no matter where I take it. From smooth highways to winding countryside routes, it handles every turn with such precision and comfort,” Sekhon enthused. It doesn’t matter if her work is corporate or creative—the process can be stressful, rushed, inspiring or monotonous—so having the Volvo EX30 has been a life saviour for her. “With the parking assist and in-built Google Maps, all of my journeys have been at warp speed—letting me check off my to-do list faster,” she adds. The Volvo EX30 is one of the first to include a new generation of Volvo’s Park Pilot Assist, meaning, the car automatically identifies a parking space for you and takes over to parallel, curved, perpendicular and diagonal fishbone parking—thus, making it easier for Sekhon to commute like a breeze.
Amid the chaos of her days, Sekhon always finds balance spiritually, physically and mentally—consistently changing the parameters of her day when she needs some peace. “Finding calmness is all about embracing small moments—those little escapes. Whether it’s just a quick drive to a quiet spot with a great view like Genting Highlands or just soaking in the silence, it’s my little ritual to stay centred,” she said. With the EX30 boasting a clean, minimalist cabin fit for every mood, Harman Kardon Premium Sound and wireless Apple AirPlay, Sekhon’s little escapism is always full of comfort, entertainment and style. The Volvo EX30 also comes with a choice of five different ambient lighting themes inspired by different Scandinavian landscapes that subtly shift in colour as you drive, a perk that helps Sekhon have a stylish ride every time she’s on the road. “I love being in the driver’s seat, listening to my favourite playlist and watching the world go by,” she professed.
But, in order to find joy in life and to have things to look forward to, Sekhon is consistently prioritising safety. Whether it’s setting healthy boundaries or being safe on the road, her motto in life aligns with Volvo—standing for safety, adventure and sustainability. “Adventure keeps my spirit alive, hence I’m always exploring new places, trying new things, and stepping out of my comfort zone. And, doing all these things with the Volvo EX30 makes driving a joy rather than a task.” The EX30 is equipped with Volvo’s full Safe Space Technology suite and 360° environmental awareness from its multiple cameras, sensors and radars, which means the Scandinavian electric car navigates busy streets and provides Sekhon with the freedom to move in a personal and safe way. “With the EX30’s smooth drive, sustainable and cutting edge features, I can relax and soak in every view, guilt-free,” she said.
And, what does she mean by guilt-free? What truly sets the EX30 apart is its sustainable and smart features. Rightfully so, the Swedish luxury car brand is undeniably leading the way in that area. The EX30 was designed to have the lowest carbon footprint of any Volvo car to date— less than 30 tonnes over 200,000 km of driving. The best part? To uphold its sustainability mantra, the electric cars also come with a sporty Indigo interior featuring upcycled denim textiles, upholstery made from 100 per cent recycled polyester and Nordico with recycled PET content, while plastic materials are made with 30 per cent recycled content. Sekhon said, “Whether I’m cruising through the city or hitting the open road, the sleek, sustainable design makes me feel good about my ride.” All-in-all, Volvo broke the traditional mould with thoughtful and stylish design elements that you’ll instantly fall in love with. “Volvo just makes going electric feel like a natural choice, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!”
Showcasing the best of Scandinavian design, the Volvo EX30 makes Sekhon feel empowered and pampered all at once. “As someone who values both innovation and reliability, the EX30 checks all the boxes,” Sekhon confessed. Whether she’s roaming around the city or going up the mountains, the electric car can elevate her adventures to greater heights. “Simply put, the Volvo EX30 isn’t just a car; it’s a safety companion that makes my life better every day, and what more does a queen like me need?”
