Volvo EX30 Review

Volvo's tiny electric SUV gets the rough-and-tumble treatment. But is the flagship EX30 Cross Country too powerful?

Volvo EX30 does what you expect it to do, but nothing more. With a price tag that screams entry level for a Scandanavian SUV, it misses out on some signature Volvo niceities, like the hot and cold ventilated seats, something that all the other models offerd until now. Going to the rear AC vents, they are again omitted and for a crossover of this price range, at least the Indian market needs these basic features. But as for everything else, it opens a new avenue for those looking to own a Volvo, widely known for its safety, at a much more appealin price point now.

Quirky, comfortable and oh-so-stylish, but the Volvo EX30 isn?t all that practical and the infotainment system can be annoying

The Volvo EX30 Performance is an exciting car and one that is not necessarily purchased driven by rational thinking. The little EX30 excels in delivering joy when you drive it and that certainly counts for something. The amount of instant power, which kicks you in the back is a sensation that never gets old, and if you are not careful can easily get you into trouble with the law.Beyonds its pefromance version the EX30 is a perfectly capable daily vehicle, serving its intended purpose of getting you around town. It offers sufficient space, adequate trunk and cutting-edge tech. It isn?t the most efficient vehicle by any means, but its great charging capabilities certainly help reduce the range anxiety.We totally get those that find the Volvo EX30 too minimalist, but they aren't the target audience for it. Instead the most powerful Volvo yet is intended for people who want Tesla?s simplicity and speed, but in a smaller package and coming from a traditional manufacturer with a fantastic dealership network and proven reliability. As such the EX30 covers a segment that should have no shortage of customers.
