Video Summary
Here are the key points and findings from the YouTube video review of the 2025 Volvo EX30:- The EX30 is Volvo's new entry-level electric vehicle, a fully electric crossover advertised as starting around $35,000 plus shipping; even fully equipped, it should be in the low $50,000 range.
- The entry-level single-motor model has rear-wheel drive, about 270 horsepower, and about 275 miles of range.
- An upgrade to the dual-motor version provides all-wheel drive and boosts power to over 420 horses; this reduces range to about 265 miles.
- The base EX30 does 0 to 60 mph in the low five-second range, while the dual-motor does it in just 3.4 seconds.
- Charging from 10% to 80% takes about 30 minutes, making it fast-charging capable.
- There's no key; instead, a credit-card-sized key card is available that can be stored in a wallet or purse; using a cellphone as a key will soon be possible.
- Much of the interior consists of recycled or recyclable materials.
- Interior door panels consist of recycled window frames.
- The interior design is minimalist, with no conventional door controls on the door panels.
- The power window switches are located in the center console.
- Power door locks are capacitive touch on the center panel.
- The rearview mirror controls are integrated into the center screen.
- There is a cool door handle, but interior storage is limited.
- The reviewer thought it's been carefully engineered to cut costs and add minimalist simplicity to the interior.
- The EX30 has a decent-sized cargo area, with multiple levels to accommodate differing storage needs, and it has a helpful chart that shows which things may fit in the cargo area.
- Ride quality has been one of the biggest surprises, as it rides much smoother than it should given the size.
- The exterior styling and design are excellent, and give a modern attractive overall look.
- The Dougscore is 65 out of 100.
