Volvo EX30 (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Great to drive	Poor infotainment setup
Attractively priced	Boot is smaller than rivals offer
Generous standard equipment	Rear legroom could be better

Quick Summary

The Volvo EX30 (2023-present) is the Swedish brand's smallest electric car, positioned as an affordable and practical family EV. Built on the 'SEA' platform, it competes in the busy electric SUV segment against rivals like the Smart #1 and Jeep Avenger. Despite its compact 4.2-metre length, it offers two battery options, providing up to 296 miles of range, with a powerful Twin Motor Performance variant capable of a 3.6-second 0-62mph sprint.

While interior practicality is adequate with a 318-litre boot and clever storage solutions, rear legroom is only average, and the single central touchscreen controlling most functions leads to ergonomic challenges, including the lack of a dedicated driver's display. However, the EX30 excels in ride comfort, refinement, and offers a comprehensive suite of safety and tech features, including Google-powered infotainment and advanced Pilot Assist. It is competitively priced across its well-equipped trim levels, making it a strong contender in its class, though the Cross Country version is notably expensive.

Best for: Drivers seeking a comfort and tech-oriented small family EV, buyers looking for a competitively priced electric car with premium appeal, and those who appreciate excellent ride comfort and refinement.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising optimal rear passenger space, drivers who prefer traditional physical controls over a screen-centric interface for critical functions, or those who need a dedicated driver's display or head-up display.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EX30 if: You're seeking a comfort and tech-oriented small family EV, looking for a competitively priced electric car with premium appeal, or appreciate excellent ride comfort and refinement.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise optimal rear passenger space, prefer traditional physical controls over a screen-centric interface for critical functions, or require a dedicated driver's display or head-up display.

Competitive Position: The Volvo EX30 is a formidable entrant in the small electric SUV market, striking a strong balance between price, equipment, and overall driving experience. Its comfortable ride, premium interior ambience, and advanced technology make it a highly attractive option, particularly for families seeking an efficient and refined EV. While its screen-heavy ergonomics and slightly less spacious rear cabin might deter some, its competitive pricing and flexible ownership options ensure it stands out against rivals like the Kia Niro EV and VW ID.3, offering significant value and Volvo's signature safety.
