This Volvo EX30 is the fastest car for under a mil

Who would have thought that a Volvo, and electric Volvo, would be the fastest car on South Africa's roads for under R1 million? It is crazy to think, right? But anyhoo, here we are. I am all over this EV, even if I am not hugely sold on them.
PS. Can you spot the Hippo in the video? You could win one for yourself. Just saying ;)

Having visited South Africa just once last year? I’m watching this to listen to Juliet’s SAf accent and the lovely Cape Town backdrop 😆. Which suburb is this?

@PhilHare-er8nr Ай бұрын

Central screens are a significant safety risk. Controls accessed only via a screen obviously distract the driver's eyes. And yet they build in a camera to monitor that your eyes don't leave the front screen. How nuts is that? Regulatory bodies should force car makers to include physical buttons. Otherwise, screen only accessed controls should not receive a safety rating.

@julietmcguire Ай бұрын

Yup!!!

@stevedunn3113 Ай бұрын

So many cars had central ‘screens’, minis, Morris minors, etc. They’re only a distraction if you let them be.

@rufdymond Ай бұрын

@@stevedunn3113- Totally disagree. It’s not that central screens are the problem, it’s that they are putting all the controls on the screen. HVAC and audio controls should never be put in a screen. These are things that a person will constantly adjust. I can change the temp in my car without looking, I know that each click of the knob is 0.5 degree increase of decrease. At 70mph taking your eyes off the road for 2 seconds means to have traveled 63 metres or 208ft without looking….that could be the difference between life and death.

@rw80 Ай бұрын

Most important things can be done via voice control. Even safer than physical buttons.

@mikej4532 Ай бұрын

I was scared going to a Tesla after ‘normal’ screens but got used to it after driving 15 miles home.Millions of other drivers have no complaints. The Volvo is no different. Use VActivation if worried. Easy to change vol/ temp/ anything. Simple life, when 90% of any functions are used once and fixed ..

May be worth running a poll to find out the ratio between privately owned driver and company car drivers. I'd never consider an EV if it was my own money but as a company car driver I can't ignore the tax benefit

@julietmcguire Ай бұрын

Exactly. But to be fair, someone who spends more time in the car would probably be better at it and hopefully less distracted, BUT, one still has to look at the screen regardless too often and I don't love that.

Obviously, you will get used to the menu's and this enables you to choose the commands much quicker. To figure it out while on the go is not very clever. You have to familiarize yourself with the system before driving off! Sound bars in cars are the future in case you didn't know. I am excited about new technology! How does the car handle at speed? Does it feel stable while using all that power? How is it in traffic in town? Obviously, it is not designed as a family car, but the bootspace seems to be adequate for me. You only look for points to criticise, it seems. It is too fast, too loud, too small, too minimalistic, too futuristic, too odd. Judge it for what it is designed for.

@julietmcguire Ай бұрын

I do my research and then go through the entire car, familiarising myself before writing a draft script and then filming. There is only so much I can do in a limited time. But remember, I do this for a living. So I compare apples with apples. If I am not struggling with other cars and I have the same amount of time with them. So if it is tricker than most, I am going to comment on it. I am not here to criticise the car, I review them. You will notice positive points too. I am certain you will find all the info you require on many, many other reviews of this car. ;)

@jeroenjansen2709 Ай бұрын

@julietmcguire OK fair enough. Each car serves a market segment. I would buy this car because it's fast and funky. So there is no point in saying it is small and the screen is a nuisance. I just want to know how it copes with that incredible performance. To get from 0 to 100 on a few seconds is one thing but then you also need reassuring handling, good brakes etc. There is really no point in saying you don't like screens. Compare the operating system, responding time, visibility and report any glitches. And why can't you show some excitement and appreciation? Every car has it's good points. I would ho euphoric about this performance! And the fact that Volvo offers these cars, which should supercar acceleration, fior less than R1m is awesome! Why always look for the negative?
