Great review, finally a reviewer that doesn’t go apoplectic over the central screen. Test drove the twin motor version a week ago. Absolutely loved it. I no longer require a massive car and the EX30 fits the bill. Add in the earth shattering performance, what could be better!

I really liked the review. I loved looking at this interior, I have been searching for real-life photos and videos from this interior and there are very few out there, and definitely none as detailed as shown in this video. Too bad because this is definitely the best interior option IMO, especially because it's not as green as the Volvo site makes it look like. Keep it up!

Hi Tish , a great review on the Volvo EX30 looks a great little car, shame about the weather another wet day on the road, catch you on the next test drive Take care

This car will tempt many traditional Volvo owners to the EV world. BTW great review Tish as always. . .

Another amazing review tish 🎉 I think it's about time we started a campaign to get you your own TV show

Ordered mine 🎉single motor extended range 🎉#loveit

Hi Tish good review considering the actual production cars are newly arrived. We test drove single motor extended range and liked so much we ordered one same day. We found central control screen easy to adapt to and with boot floor setting at low our Golden Retriever enjoyed test drive as well.

Test drove this exact car at Cambridge Volvo recently, very nice!

Glad to be part of helping you get over 30k views.

Nice review! I'm glad you looked at the entry model. This may be a nice upgrade from my E-208.

You are right about the roads in Cambridgeshire. Nice review.

Great review as usual with enthusiasm. I saw the same coloured one and knew it was EX-30. I'm sure it will wow everyone too

Excellent review!

Hi Tish I like your no nonsense review of the cars you test , unlike some who think they are comedians . I loved the colour, takes me back to when I had a yellow mk 111 cortina .

Thanks for this! It was such a pleasant surprise to see this project go from a mysterious model number ("Will it be small, reasonable and maneuverable? Another expensive luxury car?") to reality. Every time I would go to the dealer service with my C30 here in California, someone would say "It's a shame they don't make them anymore." I'm still driving it 12 years later and looking forward to the EX30.

Hooray. A new EV that hasn’t suffered from rear wiper disease. New Prius, CHR and 3008 EV plus loads of others have them missing. The fact it’s pouring with rain in your review just shows why we need them!

I enjoyed watching the Video Review, One of the best looking Car Interiors 😊

Great review

7:54 I like the Pine interior shown here. Most reviews show the wool interior in the Ultra spec.

Fab video. Thanks, Trish.

I like your videos a lot , and many people in Europe , can you please mention the metric meters and the liters per 100 km that would be great 😂

This looks awesome,thanks Tish 👍

Brilliant review, thank you. I love this little car.

I'm so glad that you mentioned the rear window wiper 😂 it is a small thing but enough to sway me to a car that has this! It is a top consideration for me for a next car

Amazing car. Another level for Volvo. This is way better than any Tesla. EX60 and EX90 gonna be another level✔️🇸🇪

I love the bright yellow colour!

test drive tomorrow 👌 looking frward😎

Love it especially the colour scheme, made me think about going and looking at one when I have time.

Excellent review, it looks a great new EV. Very hard to get hold of for the foreseeable future. It’s a shame there’s no heads up display, that might put some people off. I’m definitely considering the long range single motor version as my next car.

When it comes to style Tish wins 🏆 by a mile!❤👏

Great video- very helpful. Question - how would you compare the ex30 to the smart #1? Which do you prefer and why?

I love the yellow color. I will pick it when my reservation color decision comes up.

Beautiful colour

Nice one Tish. Agree re 50 shades of grey. I'd personally like a green paint option too. Like that Interior option myself. Remain to be convinced re lack of buttons but maybe one day I'll be converted. Id want bigger battery so too pricey new but used in a year or 2 could be good 👍

12:03 that switch on your facial expression.😂 otherwise, very good and informative review. ❤

I like all of it, except the dash Great review Tish

Brilliant Video. Not to sure about all info in middle of Dash. Prefer in front eye view.

Looks great

Hi Tish, any idea about the efficiency of the EX30? I've heard that it isn't too good unfortunately.

My first Volvo was a 1972 164E. This car strikes me as totally having Volvo DNA, moreso than the previous gen and they had a good amount of Volvo DNA. The interior design is fantastic IMO. I do feel it's too small for me but as an entry-level Volvo, it's terrific.

Be interesting to see what the screen shows during normal driving so we can check the speedometer display for size and ease of view

Really good looking cars at reasonable prices!

I live in the States so I don't know if this is available here but I would own one at the long range plus model I even like the color of it at least it would be easier to find in a parking lot , great review and video 👍👌

Yes !!!! I have a new Volvo EX30 Moss Yellow, Extended Range. I love really this car!

It's priced keenly, and should take sales from quite a few of it's rivals, both EV and ICE.... I wouldn't choose yellow personally, but some will. I like the look of this car. Simply styled, but smart and eye-catching.

Readers; The USA will see this in 'late summer+" we hope. Note the center cup holder can be shoved in and it becomes a storage bin=clever!

I sat in one last weekend. I thought it was lovely and felt spacious and not small but I think its a pity there is no instrument binnacle in front of the steering wheel. Lovely colour.

One frustrating aspect of the plus is lack of seat adjustment meaning if, as I found, you can’t get comfortable you’ll need to find £10k to access electric seat that are only available on the Ultra.

Nice car, thank you

Hi Tish! Lately I think you should be an umbrella tester too! 🌧️☔️😂 Well, I’m joking of course but I can realize that the front and REAR 🙌wipers of the cars you test work very well. 😅 Seriously, as you do, I like this car very much. It’s very practical and sustainable as a second premium car for the family or, as you say, for couples without children. 👍

I have been on a test drive and can confirm it’s a great drive. Personally I would be interesting in the Ultra Extended range and might be temped to go twin motor. I currently drive a BMW 4 series M Sport Pro and felt the EX30 was just as good, and the Ultra would surpass its technology.

Great looking car and the entry level version is a bargain compared to some other EV’s. I have a Peugeot e208, which is a great car, but the Volvo is slightly bigger all round and the base version is cheaper than my e208GT. I know which one I’d choose! (Not in Yellow though!).

Best EV on the market! Volvo killed it with this one 👍

My missus wants a Volvo. I think you might just have sold her on this model. (more over-time for me) 🙂

I like the colour.

Yellow is the best colour for the EX30!!

Is that the pine interior? If so, it looks much darker on the website. Looks much better than the indigo interior either way

can someone please explain the two keys you get with this car? nowhere show's me what they actually do

Really liking the plethora of yellow cars coming available now. There is a whiff of Tesla about the EX30, which I like. I definitely would put this on short list when the time to change cars comes. 😊

I love the colour and really do love the car. From what I could hear it is very quiet and the range is good. I just think it is a bit small for a family car but I do like it's styling

Volvo seem to be changing moving away from the square box and safe as a tank ,like the look of this one and the trim is excellent and looks modern they could be well be on to a winner ☺️

Lovely car, was top of my list but the windscreen is blocked by the rear view mirror so you can't see anything out of the left side! Lease on a Tesla was £299, so went for that!

Large battery single motor is an absolute steal. Love this car so much, I'd love it in volvos sage green colour (I know they don't sell it in that yet) lovely

Excellent

Colour is 🔥

Next time you get a chance to drive a 400+bhp vehicle, do it! You only live once😂 right off the bat: the shape. Definitely looks like a subcompact SUV, but with some hatchback touches. Nothing's wrong with the bright yellow but it kinda looks like a banana on wheels😂😂😂 almost a perfect exterior design but with 2 issues for me. I'm not a fan of the split taillights. You talk about staying true to its identity, and Volvo always has those long taillights that you'd see on the xc models. They should've kept that on the ex30. Plus the rear wiper needs to be tucked underneath the roof spoiler and that would make the rear much cleaner. So those are my 2 zonks but other than that, a very capable, functional, fuel-efficient and affordable SUV that proves you don't need any of those 3 EURO cars to have luxury and performance on your side. Great review Tish.

Great review, love the look of the car and price, not my colour, though. 😅

Nice video. Nice to have such a positive attitude. But nothing for me, no real Volvo. But certainly a good city car.

A very interesting EV. Not affordable for a family car but competitively priced against other EVs. The colour options though...too calm for my taste. I like vivid colours.

I don't like having to look to the side all the time, and speeding cameras are about on practically every street these days, so not being able to look at the road and see the speed at the same time is a big minus for me. It needs a driver speedo screen or a HUD.

No clip for parking ticket?? 😢

hello, how tall are you in cm?

A catch-eye modern city car!

I had a sit in one last week, and thought that the rear room was pretty poor, especially in comparison with the MG4. I have to recognise that the trim levels in Spain (where I live) are probably different from UK specs, but here the only way to get a heat pump is by going for the top spec, which is over €50K. In comparison, the MG4 comes with a heat pump as standard on all bar the base spec. And I thought that the interior, especially in the back, reminded me somehow of an overstuffed Ford Escort Mk2 Firmer, sure, but the materials simply felt awfully plasticky. Which was all a terrible disappointment. I really, really wanted to like it. I went in prepared to convince myself that it was worth splashing a significantly larger amount of cash than I really wanted to, but really couldn't think of much that I liked about it. It was even in the same colour option, which I thought looked vile. OTOH, that colour is the only one that isn't a form of grey, dark grey or white. it was such a deeply unappealing experience that I didn't even bother with a terst drive.

It should be a winner and that interior ain't boring for sure.

People will buy the twin version for the performance. Like getting a Ferrari, on the cheap. Both models will be purchased for their minimalistic, compact, stylish package, with the many, hassle free, features. Not least for the prestigious badge.

Reminds me of BUMBLEBEE (Transformers). GREAT !!!

A Volvo for the price of a Corsa. Well worth a look. You would never lose it in Yellow.😂

Only one point of disagreement. I am 6 foot 3 inches tall and weigh 20 stone. After setting up front seat to where I was sitting I went to the back. Ok my knees were on the outside of the seat in front, but scooting around town, or car pooling to work and back I felt would work fine and not feel cramped. Might just be me.

Great review, what Volvo miss is that soon EVs will be taxed, and there is a further tax added for cars over £40k so Volvo really need to reprice the top end one.. People will vote with their wallets and pass the higher £40k model by, which is a shame..

Love the colour, makes a change from the 50 shades of grey cars seem to come in these days

Worth saying that this is Volvo’s cheapest car (petrol or electric) by a long shot! Not even with recent inflation - the V40 hatchback started at £5k above this in 2015 money!

Nice boots Tish

Whilst there is quite a bit i’m not a fan of and not my sort of car you would have one over a qashqai. Yellow reminds me of the old fiat colour the used to put on cinquecentos

Very clearly a Volvo (owned by the Chinese)!

Volvo interior Ambient light has 4 option colour theme Smart one has 64 colours and better interior HUD 👌

Volvo PCP 9.9% APR..... not going to get many onboard with that

9 months waiting time when I tried to buy and ex30 last month, so I bought the Honda ZRV

I'd be happy with something that only had 200hp and was cheaper to insure. I love acceleration but there's nowhere to use a powerful car safely where I live. I do imagine a lot of the ultra powerful EVs will be very cheap second hand buys once they are four or five years old because people on a budget won't be able to afford the insurance. Having said that I really like the EX30.

Dual motor made me dizzy … close to a blackout during acceleration. I ordered a single motor.

You really look at home in the EX30

Great and better than a e Corsa. Odd, a rear wiper not a legal requirement.

Great review but id prefer a brighter colour 😅

Ive got no kids 🎉so happy 🎉#cantwait 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I choose the Renault Megane Electric every day of the week. More space in backseat, looks better, and have Android Automotive with a drivers display.

If no driver's display, at least fit a head-up display.

This was a no brainer... Until the Renault 5 reveal. Cheaper, more screens, more buttons, smaller but yet comparable boot space and legroom and better looking IMO. I'd rather test drive that first!

I think you are beginning to enjoy being out in the rain Tish. Why don't these EV's not just binicles in front of the driver?.....just like the good old days. It would make the screens easier to see in sunshine for a start....if you can find any sunshine that is Tish. 😂

And dont forget to take into account the extra road tax if its over 40k

Hi
