She’s breezing like the wind
Izleen Izham is constantly romanticising her life—dreaming of being a femme fatale version of herself. Someone who can command the room with confidence, beauty and power. Whether she’s completing a mental or physical challenge, Izham is constantly stirring things up with courage—hosting, influencing or just doing the things she loves. “My day typically starts with a morning routine that sets a positive tone. A quick workout, breakfast and a glance at my to-do list.” Navigating life without pause, Izham routinely tackles her life with the help of the Volvo EX30—a lean machine that gives her confidence on the road and in her life.
Here’s how the Volvo EX30 brings confidence to Izleen Izham’s daily routine:
Thriving on efficiency, Izham is always striving to optimise her day and stay on top of her to-do list. For her, the Volvo EX30 is the perfect companion for this mission. “Getting things off my checklist and making my day as seamless as possible fuels my drive,” she said. “In that sense, having a reliable and efficient partner on the road, like the Volvo EX30, aligns perfectly with that mindset.”
Rolling out a brand new electric model, Volvo continues the brand’s powerful leap into technology, safety and sustainability with the new EX30. A nod to minimalist Scandinavian design, the compact city car still boasts an automatic parking feature, a user-generated Google Built-in interface, an upgraded semi-autonomous Pilot Assist functionality and 360° environmental awareness from its multiple cameras, sensors and radars. “The car’s modern features make transitions throughout my day smoother, whether I’m heading to meetings or taking a break for a quick drive to clear my mind,” said Izham. She adds: “Driving a vehicle I trust, like the Volvo EX30, adds to that confidence, knowing it has my back with safety and reliability.”
Despite her busy schedule, Izham still makes time for herself. From driving on the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur to scenic routes in Malaysia, she’s always unwinding with the Volvo EX30. “I prioritise moments of peace by creating pockets of mindfulness during the day. Whether it’s a short drive to reset or simply listening to music in a serene environment. The Volvo EX30’s quiet cabin and intuitive technology make finding those calm moments easier.” With the newly added Harman Kardon Premium Sound and five interior ambient light themes inspired by Swedish nature for every mood, driving has never been more experiential for Izham.
But, what impressed her the most was its fashion-forward design elements. As a fashion darling herself, the EX30 fits right into her life and personal style—giving her the confidence to be the siren she’s always wanted to be. Deemed a perfect match for her, the electric car features 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—a minimalist style that melds with her effortlessly. “The Volvo EX30 adds a sense of ease and luxury to every drive. And, knowing that I’m backed by Volvo’s state-of-the-art safety technology— gives me peace of mind and confidence.”
Embodying everything she needed in a car—clean energy initiatives to miles of minimalist style—the shift to bolstering the world’s green credentials was seamless for her. In this day and age, there’s still a reluctance to discuss sustainability on the road. There are easy steps one can take to take a more eco-minded approach to consuming when needed. It can be overwhelming to know where to start. But, for Izham it was a perfect fit. “The shift to electric vehicles felt necessary to align with my values of sustainability and forward-thinking. Volvo stood out for its strong commitment to eco-friendly innovation and safety, which the EX30 embodies perfectly.”
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, so it was clear that this was the best car for Izham. “I try to be mindful of my environmental footprint by making sustainable choices, like recycling, reducing waste and choosing products that align with responsible practices. The EX30 complements this lifestyle with its eco-conscious design.”
So, from clunky gear shifts and unpredictable vehicles to a smooth intuitive EX30, Izleen Izham loves having an electric car in her life. “The Volvo EX30 adds a sense of ease and luxury to every drive,” she said. She adds: It brings peace of mind, confidence and a positive impact to my routine.”
The EX30 is priced from RM188,888 for the EX30 Plus, RM208,888 for the EX30 Ultra, and RM228,888 for the EX30 Ultra Twin Performance. Sabah and Sarawak customers get the three variants at RM188,648, RM208,648 and RM228,648 respectively. Colour options range from Cloud Blue, Vapour Grey and Crystal White, which beautifully take inspiration from the lichen growing along the Swedish West Coast.
