Video Summary
Here is a summary of the Volvo EX30 video:The Volvo EX30 is an electric subcompact SUV that has been on sale in Europe and other parts of the world. The test car featured in the review is a 2025 EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra, with a total purchase price of $48,395. Its final assembly point was Zhangjiakou, China. Current models may be manufactured in Ghent, Belgium.
The Volvo EX30 has a dual-motor system outputting 422 horsepower and a 69 kilowatt-hour battery offering an EPA estimated range of 253 miles. It features a unique design said to resemble a Stormtrooper helmet and comes in Moss Yellow, a color that has been discontinued by Volvo. The size is fairly small, even in its sub-compact SUV category.
The car has unconventional features including a “Will It Fit” guide in the trunk showing dimensions for common cargo. The CCS-style charger is non-motorized. The frunk space is tiny and can not hold the included charger. The car can be entered using a phone as a key, a credit-card style key, and a key fob. The key fob has no buttons and works automatically. The front seats are very easy to access, but the back door offers a small opening that is difficult to step into.
The interior is constructed of natural and recycled fibers. There are limited individual speakers, with most sound output coming from a front soundbar. The power seats are also unique in that the seat adjustments include a multi-directional button used for lumbar adjustment.
All controls are touchscreen-based and may be distracting for the driver to adjust while driving. Some settings like lane keeping assist and the driver monitoring system default to on, and must be manually turned off every time the car starts. CarPlay is supported, but Android Auto is not.
The windshield has automatic wipers, but requires navigation through the interface to adjust sensitivity, requiring the driver to take their eyes off the road.
Despite its shortcomings, the reviewer enjoys driving the vehicle thanks to its comfortable ride and quiet interior. The handling is decent for an electric vehicle.
