Thanks for sharing was waiting for your video!

Perfect car for me. 90%+ of my driving is now local. Twice a year on 200 mile journey. It drives so well. The comfort is tangible. The Google Voice assistant can deal with music, heating and a few other items. 200kw motor will last well compared to its competitors. I like it so much. So I’ve ordered White Extended Range Ultra.

Thanks!

Thanks very much for the review, I've driven both the SM and twin and am still undecided which to choose. Great car though and will be buying one.

Useful commentary: thank you for your insights

I think the trick with any Car now is low mileage year old. This Volvo will lose 30% of its sticker price in the fist year and then it’s very attractive price wise. The sweet spot is the long range RWD. It dives better for the money. Battery tech is changing so fast they could add 100 miles real world to the range within three or four years and keep the price similar. You put some buttons and HUD or small screen and it would be even better. Cheaper than the Model 3. To be honest I’m looking at the new Renault 5 now over this. I was in the Volvo and it looked great in the flesh, I found the interior a bit boring but fine.

"Has great drive train tuning," goes on to list all of the reasons why it's not, lol. XC40, C40, and P2 legitimately have best in class execution so I think EX30 can get there with some updates.

How did you find the Hardon Karmon system?

Please Focus the Camera next time. I see a shoulder and a blurry Windscreen...

Efficiency is something that is very often at odds with aesthetics. If you want an efficient car, you need a very low CX, and that can only be achieved by making very aerodynamic lines, which usually turn cars into something... I don't dare to say ugly, but boring. Examples Model 3 or Ioniq 6. As efficient as they are unattractive. It is something that you should think about when buying your car.

No autohold option with awd mode??

Tidligere tenkte jeg at dette kunne være en aktuell bil for meg litt frem i tid, men.....uten en egen førerskjerm er den uaktuell. Det har derimot brødrene Smart #1 og Zeekr X

It looks like you have the Indigo interior, which is not the best interior you can get. Mist is the most premium interior.

Seems decent for a chinese car.

I agree that efficiency is a big issue.180-200 miles range is just not good enough. The one pedal driving is poor, and the continuous interruptions from looking away eg to look at the touchscreen was so off putting I excluded it as a realistic option.

faster charging and efficiency will come though, right, though updates

I extensively test drove the EX30, Smart #3, Tesla M3 Highland and the Model Y RWD. Out of all the cars the EX30 was the worst, it felt cheaper inside, fidgety to drive with a top heavy feeling and the rear leg room was laughable. Delivery times were also estimated to be 6-8 months which is laughable considering a Tesla can be ordered and delivered (from factory not inventory) within 2 weeks. On top of all that the range was not on par with the other cars. If you want the fast acceleration and build I would go with the Smart #1 or #3 Brabus. The car I eventually chose was the Model Y RWD (BYD battery) because for the money it was the best deal @ €43k and 0% finance. Its mature enough in its release cycle that a lot of issues have been resolved, so it feels like the most accomplished too. Build quality may not be on par with the others, but its more than good enough.
