You’ve been pushing out some great content! Hope your number of followers grows!
Thanks 🙌
Good comparison. Some information I've found on the internet.
Volvo XC40 has 432L trunk capacity. If you fold the rear seats then you get 1328 L capacity
Volvo EX30 has 318L trunk capacity. If you fold the rear seats then you get 904 L capacity.
Great and super useful video! I’ve been looking forward to this one since EX30 has been released and so far you are the only who has done a proper boot test. Thank you!
Very clear and helpful Kristian: thank you
I appreciate all your demos of Volvo cars boot space. I didn't expect the largest suitcase to fit EX-30 boot ) good.
But XC40 is the obvious winner. Not just because of bootspace but also due to lots of "small" details like instrument cluster, range or the country of production, I see no reasonable argument to choose EX30.
Wow this is exactly what I wanted. Thanks for great video!
If you'd put the little cases inside the bigger ones they would have all fitted in the EX30. Seriously though that was a good comparison and a good test of your Tetris skills.
Yeah 🤣🤣 Cleaver. Yeah this are definitely for the Tetris generation
Fantastic video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it 👍
I have an XC90, and I'm currently waiting for the EX30. The EX30 looks perfect as a a second car. If I needed one car, I would choose the XC40.
Yeah, agree with your thoughts there 👍
Yeah, but the XC40 is in desperate need of an infotainment refresh with a bigger screen.
@@markbartoszek8585It actually works quite well. I wouldn’t consider it a showstopper to wait another three years over. Another five years down the road, the goalposts will have moved again. These are cars you need to drive at least a half hour to get a feel for. The one pedal drive IMO is as good as it gets.
@@markbartoszek8585I have one XC40 and I think the screen is big enough
The xc40 lacks more HP, the EX 30 is way more fun to drive.
Thanks your great videos... Soon 5k subscribers!!! Congratulations in advance... Stay safe, Tim
Glad you liked it 🙌 Yeah really close. Thanks
A very practical video. Well done!
Thanks 🙌
My next car xc40!
Very good video 👍
Haha nice! We have exactly the same and in the same colors 😊
Hej Kristian..super..is there any visible gap between dashboard and windshield just near steering area on A pillar area inside?
If you put the 2 large cases upright(sitting on wheels) how much space would be left for the smaller ones...? Cheers
you could have definitely put that second large case, where the medium one was, and maybe ever the medium on top instead of the second small
Hello. Great video. A y chance of folding down seats in ex30 and try fit an adult pushbike!?!?
Much better result than i would have expected! Great video Kristian! Can you get your hands on a VW Golf or id3 to compare to?
Yeah pretty awesome. We're you thinking of comparison in terms of luggage capacity?
Hi Kristian, thanks for another great video. I love your passion, thanks for that as well. I have a question: In NL the EX30 and base model Polestar 2 are currently the same pricing. Wich one should we choose? It is almost the same car, with just some small diferences. Wich would you choose?
Base model single motor Polestar 2 vs Volvo EX30 plus single motor extended range.
Appreciate your feedback, so thanks so much 🙌 No there's huge differences here. The Polestar 2 are on the same platform as the XC40. So that's one size up in all parameters. Maybe beside space. But compared to the EX30, will the Polestar 2 offer (in my opinion) better seats, better noise insulation, higher interior qualities, physical buttons, better ergonomics, and more practical with the kick sensor luggage door. There's definitely advantages with the EX30, but the Polestar 2 are more car.
Would highly recommend a testdrive of both, and then see what you prefer.
@@volvo_kristian thanks so much for your detailed reaction! We are test driving the Polestar 2 on friday and the Volvo EX30 on saturday. We will (hopefully) decide and order on saturday night.
@@JassoLama no,
€44934 in NL for Volvo EX30 plus single motor extended range.
€44950 in NL for Polestar 2 base model with nothing single motor extended range.
Hi
Can xc40 can fit 3 large suitcases only ?
I think it's a good result! After all the EX30 is a smaller car!
Yeah, pretty impressive 👏
Pls xc90 luggage test to see how much space remains fully loaded
Thanks 🙏 Kristian for this interesting video!
It's probably possible to even go on holiday with two kids with the EX30 if you use a roof box or am I wrong?
Its not family car 😁
Yes I know but it’s rare that more than 3 people are with us.
And I really love the size of the EX30.
Just for twice a year I don’t think we need a bigger car as we could use the roof box instead even I know it’s not so comfortable.
But we won’t drive all around Europe 😉
Videos are great but I have to ask, is there an issue with your cameras as the frame rates just seem all over the place
Can you elaborate? Shouldn't be something wrong
Can you elaborate what's wrong with my frame rates? I'm recording in NTSC.. Can't remember the precise setting but please share your thoughts on this subject.
Hi, finally someone talking about luggage’s. Is it possible to stack 2 large on top of each other without medium and small?
? 😊
You store far too much luggage in the XC40 in my opinion.For safety reasons in my country it is not allowed to block the view through the rear window, so you're not allowed to pile up the luggage up till the roof. Besides that it's important to always have a clear view from the rear view mirror to see what's happening behind you while you're driving.
What country are that? Sounds very doubtful.. Don't you have outer mirrors on your cars? Never heard about legislation regarding that. What about commercial vehicles without rear view mirror. Either way. Here in Norway we don't have such stupid rules. So just fill it up and use the outer mirrors.
Overall, which car would you personally recommend?
Great test! It is odd that the EX30 has that "lip" at the base of the trunk, whereas the XC40 does not. It seems very annoying. I wonder why Volvo went with that design. Sometimes Volvo makes the weirdest design choices.
Questions: 1. Do the rear seats fold 100% flat? 2. Do you know if the front passenger seat folds flat? That has always been a favorite Volvo feature of mine. It's very handy when you need extra room for very long objects and if you need to really maximize space.
Are the question regarding EX30? If so. The seats doesn't full 100% flat. It's maybe like 90%. Question 2. Didn't check, but usually electric seats doesn't fold.. So don't think it will fold here. Maybe if you don't have electric adjustable passenger seat
Not bad at all for the EX30.
Agreed 👍
So, will there be an ES40 to replace the XC40?
Replace? We will still have the XC40/EX40 with us some years.
That xc40 is really big! I have BMW 520 estate and i am not sure all those fit?🧐🤔🤥
Hehe 🤣 It's a spacious one
Hi Kristian, I think the result can be even better. Can't the 2 largest suitcases be in front of each other? And then the medium-sized suitcase next to it. Then the other medium suitcase can be placed on top with the bag next to it. only the small suitcase would not fit in this case.
Tried that actually. The two large wouldn't fit down here. That's why I needed the medium. Yes pretty tight 🤣
I know this is a test of the luggage space only but probably all the luggage would fit by folding one back seat.
Yeah, but then this test wouldn't make so much sense. And also it would make the safety aspect more challenging. I want to just see and compare the luggage room
I have three kids in the backseat of the XC40 as well - folding it will be difficult😅
Enough luggage for 2 people, but definitely not a family car.
A capacity test should include golf clubs. A wasted opportunity.
Haha 🤣 yeah, because everyone travel on roadtrips with golf clubs..
In fact, these bags don't all fit in any Volvo. In the XC40, with all the bags in the trunk, the driver has no visibility through the rear window.
Don't need visibility. Can use the outer mirrors, so don't see your point.
@@volvo_kristian When driving, it is very important to see the rear of the vehicle. Other external mirrors are not always sufficient.
@fernandoserrao1135 Then you just load until the seat back if that's important for you. For everyone else outer mirrors are more than sufficient.
@@volvo_kristian Maybe the best thing is for car manufacturers to remove the interior mirror once and for all... after all, we discovered that they are useless.
And where do I put my dog?
In the frunk
I don’t understand why other auto makers can’t figure out how to provide the additional space that Tesla does. The model 3 sedan has more space than the EX30. It’s the one thing making me hesitate switching.
Why would you compare a Model 3 with the EX30? The EX30 is a subcompact SUV that's more in line with the Kia Niro, Mini, Chevy Bolt, etc.
@@markbartoszek8585 right, but I’m highlighting than even the model 3 sedan has more cargo space than the EX30.
@@chags3512 The Model 3 is 50 cm longer than the EX30. So a comparison makes no sense. 😉
@@jline3701 sigh. I’m literally saying why can’t auto makers make a decent size under trunk and/or front trunk to add cargo capacity. The model 3 is also shorter (less tall) than the EX30. They have similar passenger interior dimensions etc. as someone who currently drives a model 3, I LOVE the EX30 but having LESS cargo space for a family of 4 is a disappointment - especially considering Volvo calls it an “SUV”. Oh and I think the EX30 has less cargo space than all of those other models you listed.
@@chags3512 Once again, the EX30 is a SUBCOMPACT! The Model 3 is a mid-size sedan. You need to familiarize yourself with the different vehicle/body types. Nobody in their right mind is buying an EX30 as their primary vehicle for a family of four.
