Volvo's smallest SUV, an electric model with one or two motors and a 51 or 69 kWh battery, suited to buyers who want a compact premium EV for town and occasional longer trips.
Reviewers agree the EX30 is quick, composed and quiet, with a smartly finished, upmarket-feeling cabin for its size. The main criticism is that almost everything is controlled through the central touchscreen, with no instrument display ahead of the driver; Autocar found the driver monitoring intrusive, What Car? found the battery efficiency could be better, and Auto Express found the steering and brakes numb.
