In that white/baby blue colour it looks absolutely gorgeous

Very eye-catching

A good second view that I have only just come across. The twin motor performance I have on order for delivery in August has 19” wheels, a blue interior with no seat back pockets, and a grey exterior, all other wheel sizes, trim and colour options are at extra cost. Heated seats and steering wheel are also an extra cost option. It’s not a cheap little car. Latest models have badge on the boot and the side badges deleted, and the steering wheel switches/paddles are modified.

Thanks Geoff! Great updates there

A fan of the EX30 design and offering but just BEWARE that the cheapest version does NOT have a HEAT PUMP so expect to have at least a 30% reduction of the range when running in colder climates, which is very poor considering the max range is 209 miles!!! So getting only around 140mile range for a £33k electric vehicle is shocking and no excuse and heat pumps should be standard on all EVs.

My EV without a heat pump claims 214 miles but in reality is 180 ish summer and 150 ish winter. It does drop 15% in winter, not sure if a heat pump will actually make a lot of difference.

Not having a heat pump on your EV may not dramatically improve your range if you run your EV in a country/climate that is constantly 20-30’C all year round but if you get climate extremes, a heat pump is a non brainer and not having one is just manufacturing cost cutting. In addition to provided efficient cabin heat, a heat pump can aid in preconditioning the battery pack to improve range, efficiency, performance and prevent battery degradation.

My tesla from 2019 dont have a heat pump and it aint really a big deal and i live in Sweden. But allways better to have a heat pump for sure. The EX30 Extended range is trully nice. Way better then all other

Great review. I had a test drive last week loved the car, but alot of drivers having software issues, waiting for so called updates, so won't be ordering one at the moment.

What a beautiful car! I love it!

I love it.

Cheers mate

Best car on the roads for sure!!!

Thank you for another second look. I notice the film production is also improving, though a work in progress. One way of looking at this car is that it is Volvo’s interpretation of Geely’s platform. There is a lot to like about it - Scandie design, very green, drives well. The showstopper for me is just too much is in the iPad on the dashboard which in my view makes it unusable. To look at the alternative interpretations of this platform, Volvo are going up against at least Zeekr and Smart. In my view Smart has it especially if you go for one of the Brabuses against the 4WD EX30.

“Squircle” is an actual word .. so we’re good 👍.. great video by the way.

Fantastic car. Back seats are a little cramped for adults but great car nonetheless.

Thank you for your review. I am considering (next year) giving the e-Golf to the kids and getting used i4 40 or Polestar 2 RWD (if coming off 1 year lease). Thoughts?

I would go for the used Polestar 2. It is super solid, rides so well and you get it for a good price now.

I’m planning on buying one 😊

And the Allegro introduced the Quartic steering wheel - way before all of these squircles. And yes, Squircles are a thing : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squircle?wprov=sfti1

Yes they are

In the rear and not in the boot lol

When all said and done…just a Smart#1 but less versatile,more expensive with no eye-line Speedo

I wish cars still came with lever/button controls as I dont like touchscreens. They look awful with prolinged use.

I seem to have unsubscribed.. resubd!

Unfortunately, this trim is too expensive, not only compared to Tesla (that offers more features at a lower price) but even against the other cars build over the same platform, I mean the smart #1, smart #3 and the Zeekr X. The only real competitive Volvo is the Core, that has almost the same internal features of a Panda... A shame, because is so nice in terms of drive and esthetically speaking.

Mad money for so little space.

The dash is not for me. I like to have old style dash. Des

Needs a HUD to differentiate between this and the other small electric SUV with no display in front of the driver

You've missed the fact that the software is shite. And the filler cap doesn't lock which is cheap.

Explain please?

Is it fair that Volvo calls this an SUV? Isn’t it very similar to a Golf?

@dangregory-miles4097

Ай бұрын

It has a higher ride height than a golf. I took delivery of my EX30 three weeks ago, it has almost identical ride height as the Toyota C-HR that I had previously. Like the C-HR, it has similar space to a Golf / Cupra Born.

The silly dated Tesla interface spoils it for me. Annoyances everyday. When will they ever listen? people want a driver display and sensible buttons.

Lazy camera work, slipping in. (Then a camera goes down)
