Video Summary
Here is the summary:- The Volvo EX30 is Volvo's most eco-conscious car, using recycled materials in the interior like bottles and window frames.
- This is the cheapest new Volvo on the market and is the fastest Volvo ever made.
- The 0-62 mph time for this family car is 3.8 seconds, faster than a Ferrari 360.
- The top-spec model has a 69-kilowatt-hour battery with a range of 296 miles and twin motors producing 428 horsepower.
- It charges at up to 153 kilowatts, going from 0% to 80% in under half an hour.
- The starting price is just under £34,000, similar to a Fiat 600e or a Hyundai Kona Electric.
- The basic "Plus" version has heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 12-inch Google-powered central display, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless phone charging.
- The basic version also has the sound bar, which is a part of a 1040-watt Harmon Kardon surround sound system.
- Centralization is an interior design theme with most functions controlled through the central screen.
- The trunk has 318 liters and folds down, also including space under the floor. There's a storage cubby for two phones (only one charges), and adaptive cupholders. There are no cupholders or armrests for the rear seats but there is a removable storage cubby with a moose on the side.
- It is quiet and has light steering, and it feels relaxed and luxurious to drive.
- Automatic lane-changing feature on the early prototype is seen as a liability, due to poor sensors.
- Includes standard safety features, including airbags, ISO-Fix, and emergency braking. Door open warning for oncoming pedestrians.
- It emits less than 30 tons of C02 from production to 120,000 miles of driving.
- It is refined and high-tech in and out, and the most affordable Volvo model might also be the best one.
