Volvo EX30

[tamzzy]

Is it just me or does £41k (44k with the Ultra pack) for 428hp, 3.5s 0-60 sound absolutely unreal
Very tempted...just waiting to see what the first drive reviews will be like

Assuming it's aimed square at the model 3? Maybe sold at a loss to rope people in.

 

[tamzzy]

the dimensions are smaller though...around the size of a VW golf or slightly smaller

 

[Jonnycoupe]

4.2m is a small car for sure. Sister to the Smart #1 and Zeekr X

Into what exactly?

 

[Tinders]

Its smaller than the XC40, which was pretty much focus/golf sized.

 

[Stu999]

The 3.4 second 0-60 on the top model is pretty mad IMO.

I love small cars so think this is great.

How many numbers are being banded about. It’s 3.6 on the Volvo website

If you can live with the tiny boot it does seem good value in current market

It has something the Model 3 interior never had, style. It shows that spartan can be understated yet stylish. Whereas the model 3 and Y show that sometimes less is less and just bland boring and cheap.

I suppose I should say in my subjective opinion, but nope I’m going to call it an objective fact.

Edit: I also refuse to give the utterly pathetic carwow clicks, especially with those click bait titles. The EX30 is aimed at a totally different demographic.

lack of a speedo, otherwise stylish inside and outside - why not save money and have manually adjusted seats
Do they share same motors/batteries/invertors /charging/suspension as an xc40 say which would add to attraction.

Geely - pervasiveness of chinese owned manufacturer built cars now, similar to MG; ? like 70's Japanese cars, will they initially provide some build quality issues.

 

[Simon]

Chatgpt has gone all jeopardy

 

[Jonnycoupe]

It’s has a speedo.

It’s not CMF xc40 with the foot garage. Much shorter wheelbase.

Next.

haha yeah that's the only thing tempering my expectations. would need to see one in the flesh before committing

 

[tamzzy]

if i do swap cars...i would miss the HUD though

doesn't have in the autogefeul video - I , too, refuse to watch carwow videos
e: if you are going to say it has a hud, well any car I have must work with polarized oakley driving glasses

 

[Trifid]

Damn, I really like that...

it would've been just about perfect if the ex30 had a separate driver's display and a hud rather than going full "3" and putting everything into the middle display :/

As in a speed showing device, the speed is on the main screen. If you mean a separate instrument cluster. No it doesn’t have one… it doesn’t even have door speakers or switches.

It's starts from £31k !
If you want lot's of rear space for adults, HUD's, B&W speakers...... then pay more and get the EX90
