Great and super useful video! I’ve been looking forward to this one since EX30 has been released and so far you are the only who has done a proper boot test. Thank you!

Good comparison. Some information I've found on the internet. Volvo XC40 has 432L trunk capacity. If you fold the rear seats then you get 1328 L capacity Volvo EX30 has 318L trunk capacity. If you fold the rear seats then you get 904 L capacity.

If you'd put the little cases inside the bigger ones they would have all fitted in the EX30. Seriously though that was a good comparison and a good test of your Tetris skills.

@@markbartoszek8585It actually works quite well. I wouldn’t consider it a showstopper to wait another three years over. Another five years down the road, the goalposts will have moved again. These are cars you need to drive at least a half hour to get a feel for. The one pedal drive IMO is as good as it gets.

I appreciate all your demos of Volvo cars boot space. I didn't expect the largest suitcase to fit EX-30 boot ) good. But XC40 is the obvious winner. Not just because of bootspace but also due to lots of "small" details like instrument cluster, range or the country of production, I see no reasonable argument to choose EX30.

Hi Kristian, thanks for another great video. I love your passion, thanks for that as well. I have a question: In NL the EX30 and base model Polestar 2 are currently the same pricing. Wich one should we choose? It is almost the same car, with just some small diferences. Wich would you choose?

@roekiekoekie 3 ай бұрын

Base model single motor Polestar 2 vs Volvo EX30 plus single motor extended range.

@volvo_kristian 3 ай бұрын

Appreciate your feedback, so thanks so much 🙌 No there's huge differences here. The Polestar 2 are on the same platform as the XC40. So that's one size up in all parameters. Maybe beside space. But compared to the EX30, will the Polestar 2 offer (in my opinion) better seats, better noise insulation, higher interior qualities, physical buttons, better ergonomics, and more practical with the kick sensor luggage door. There's definitely advantages with the EX30, but the Polestar 2 are more car. Would highly recommend a testdrive of both, and then see what you prefer.

@yodabeeshdc8275 2 ай бұрын

Great test! It is odd that the EX30 has that "lip" at the base of the trunk, whereas the XC40 does not. It seems very annoying. I wonder why Volvo went with that design. Sometimes Volvo makes the weirdest design choices. Questions: 1. Do the rear seats fold 100% flat? 2. Do you know if the front passenger seat folds flat? That has always been a favorite Volvo feature of mine. It's very handy when you need extra room for very long objects and if you need to really maximize space.

@volvo_kristian 2 ай бұрын

Are the question regarding EX30? If so. The seats doesn't full 100% flat. It's maybe like 90%. Question 2. Didn't check, but usually electric seats doesn't fold.. So don't think it will fold here. Maybe if you don't have electric adjustable passenger seat

@marcelhoeve8349 2 ай бұрын

You store far too much luggage in the XC40 in my opinion.For safety reasons in my country it is not allowed to block the view through the rear window, so you're not allowed to pile up the luggage up till the roof. Besides that it's important to always have a clear view from the rear view mirror to see what's happening behind you while you're driving.

@volvo_kristian 2 ай бұрын

What country are that? Sounds very doubtful.. Don't you have outer mirrors on your cars? Never heard about legislation regarding that. What about commercial vehicles without rear view mirror. Either way. Here in Norway we don't have such stupid rules. So just fill it up and use the outer mirrors.

@robertolsthoorn7853 3 ай бұрын

Hi Kristian, I think the result can be even better. Can't the 2 largest suitcases be in front of each other? And then the medium-sized suitcase next to it. Then the other medium suitcase can be placed on top with the bag next to it. only the small suitcase would not fit in this case.

They have similar passenger interior dimensions etc. as someone who currently drives a model 3, I LOVE the EX30 but having LESS cargo space for a family of 4 is a disappointment - especially considering Volvo calls it an “SUV”. Oh and I think the EX30 has less cargo space than all of those other models you listed.

@@chags3512 Once again, the EX30 is a SUBCOMPACT! The Model 3 is a mid-size sedan. You need to familiarize yourself with the different vehicle/body types. Nobody in their right mind is buying an EX30 as their primary vehicle for a family of four.
