I’m a little confused. You state that your car is a T6 with plug-in capability. Isn’t the T8 the plug-in and the T6 a hybrid that only charges while driving?
@thom-lov
@thom-lov 15 сағат бұрын
Nope that is the B6. The T6 is the same as the T8 (PHEV) but with less mechanical HP from the front petrol engine.

​@@alsaadchowdhury7672 I totally agree. They could have introduced the display they have in the EC30 with some slight interior changes to give it a more competitive and fresh look. Compared to other EVs on the market at this price range the display is lacking. I'm certainly not interested in something as big as what's in a Tesla though, which I think is overwhelming and really designed to save cost then provide a better experience.

@@accountability2000 they are, tesla is known for that even getting rid of indicator stocks lol. But i agree, why not the polestar 2 like dashboard where the opacity looks nice unlike the dark theme in xc40 lineup? Also, i would have purchased ec40 had they had a display like ex30. Looks so clean setup! Summary: Lovely car, needs a interior refresh badly.

Until the interior gets updated like the EC30/90, it doesn’t feel like a new or updated model. Its Volvo selling out old inventory of fossil fueled cars. Understandable, but still. I would never buy this as a new car in 2024, lots better more modern options.

@@thom-lov Oh, always a pleasure, thanks for answering and giving further details 😊 - what a pity still, blues are usually my favourite shades, and this one looks so good on the Volvo lines, not too pale, not to dark, not boring nor too vibrant, so Volvo should call it "mystery blue" if it ever hits the market one fine day... that will hopefully bring interiour colours/upholsteries back that I miss, like cranberry red, espresso brown, pine green, a nordic shade of blue... I like shades of grey on the outside of a car, but not inside. My V40 used to have a blueish off-white moonlight exteriour colour, way ahead of its time, with a sand and espresso brown interiour, très chic like a Dior handbag, and my dad's 244 DL was dark orange with brown corduroy upholstery in the 70ies. Funky! Individualizing has a hard time these days unfortunately. Way to go, Thom! 😊 Thanks again!

Can you advise the individual dimensions of the trunk, meaning width, depth and height to the bottom of the cargo cover? I am unable to find these specific dimensions anywhere, only total liters. We need the measurements to determine if our luggage will be able to fit in the trunk. Thank you!

This is amazing good car. what is far behind the competitors eg id 7 or Mustang Mach e is the travel assist. if the Volvo doesn’t support even automatic speed settings for the adaptive ( but sadly not predictive) cruise control from the lousy traffic sign recognition, Volvo Germany always says, sorry it’s the fault of Google😝, the competitors above allows handless automatic steering on 95% on the German Autobahn certified and approved by German Kraftfahrbundesamt.

Yes, as i said before, can totally agree to tom's explanations bout the v60 Diesel. Love my v60 D4 model year 2019, such a relaxed and smooth car to drive. Recently i had the chance to do the 24h test drive of the EX 30 here in Germany. Have to say its not that bad. Of course it is a very small car, made for only two adults obviously, and the interior's quality is not the luxury kind. But the suspension and driving comfort is quite good. So are the comfy seats in the front. No software problems. Nice to drive even on german Autobahn. Not so good: loading time, high price, the right driver's knee is threatened by the sharp edge of the middle console.
