Volvo EX30 specifications and reviews

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.
