Volvo EX30
Volvo's new EX30 gets sharp pricing and strong performance to go with its premium badge.
The new EX30 is Volvo’s first compact crossover, and it comes with a choice of batteries (short-range, but cheap, lithium-iron phosphate or pricier, longer-range lithium-ion) and the option of rear-drive or four-wheel drive. The standard rear-drive version is surprisingly quick, while the four-wheel-drive Performance option is just bonkers (0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds). The interior looks and feels great, but it’s cramped in the back. We also have some reservations about the single touchscreen and lack of real buttons.
