Lots of talent on Volvos design team. They have made some incredibly good looking cars lately.
As a loyal Volvo owner for many years. I think the EX30 is rather ugly and looks like a refigertors with 4 wheels and does not look as nice as the current Volvos right now! LOL
The Swedish flag in the EX30 Cross Country is a rubber tag in the driver side, on top of the left front fender.
7:56 the way Volvo and Polestar are starting to separate themselves from each other is all in the graphic design, especially in the headlights and taillights. The Volvo retains the Thor’s Hammer treatment for the headlights, whereas the Polestar separates those elements into 2 headlights on the front and bottom, giving the car a look at the front that’s more reminiscent of an actual star (essentially, Polestar headlights are a reference to the logo). Additionally, it appears to me that Volvo taillights still retain that iconic shape they’ve had for white a while, whereas the Polestar’s taillight shape is a bit different, often being more boxy and architectural. The headlights and taillights on the Polestar are also thinner, whereas they’re thicker on the Volvo, and can also use different thicknesses on the Volvo vs the Polestar. Essentially, Volvo’s design is more playful, whereas Polestar’s design is more serious. It’s less obvious when looking at the line flow, but most ppl don’t. They just pay attention to the headlights
I agree with everything, except for I believe the Volvo is more refined and serious where as the polestar is more fun and playful.
I agree. I could see why you think Volvo is more playful too. I still think they're more refined and serious as Ryan said, but they've definitely gotten more "playful" starting with the EX90
I really love this, but I dont know if I could get used to the simple dash design. Im currently driving a fully loaded XC40, and I'm afraid I'd feel like im missing something.. But I do love this car! Looks so modern and classy and clean... I cant wait for the CC version.
I didn't think I would ever want another another Volvo as badly as this, at my age. I only have to drive for short trips and no family to transport anymore, so this...and the EX30 is right in my wheelhouse. Sorry big box Volvos but the pretty, cute one has caught my eye. BTW is that interior an updated version of early 60's Mini-Minor? It is weirdly similar.
This could be my first electric car. I love the design and it’s affordable.
It has a lot of potential at 35K. Now, if only Volvo collaborates with Tesla and gives access to Telsa chargers.
Would be great for the U.S. where the NACS network is just fundamentally superior than CCS for the forseeable (3-5 year) future, but in Europe there just isn't a need for a direct Tesla collaboration. The CCS network is considerably better here than in the U.S., and Tesla is already in the process of opening up their European superchargers to OEMs.
That’s only a US issue. A lot of Tesla chargers are open for all EVs in Europe
Chinese volvo quality as it combines with Tesla's quality we will have to run very far away
It’s cheaper than most non luxury brand EVs
Shut up with tesla. Every developed country except America has good non tesla chargers
Can you please make a vid about the BMW Concept Coupe Touring?
what I love and appreciate about VOLVO is that you don't MISTAKE it for another car on the ROAD! even at night or wherever time and day!!! honestly really impressed! as a XC40 owner and having it now for 3 years! not one moment have I ever thought my car looks dated... can't say that about a lot of car companies these days... which all seem to look the same.. can't wait for the TX and GX... the TX headlights and front end design overall looks atrocious....
Nice and smart looking.
I personally would like to visually connect the base of the rear window with the rear spoiler.
As for the interior, same as always: no buttons+only screens= fingerprints and potential frustration and distraction 🤷🏿♂️
NICE CAR . INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEY //CONCENTRATE// ALL THE GRAPHICS DETAILS IN THE LIGHTS. BRILLIANT IDEA ...SO PURE AND CLASSY.
1 sound bar over multiple speakers = fewer components/fewer parts/fewer production lines/less engineering (don't need mirrored plastic housing for the speakers) which overall keeps the cost and carbon footprint down on production and engineering.
The way I understood it, is that Polestar is to Volvo, what Brabus is to Mercedes and Alpina to BMW.... that is to say, a VERY clear styling relationship, but a distinct performance difference.... Volvo for practicality, luxury, and safety..... Polestar is that plus 'aggression' and performance
Exactly.
dang i actually am interested in the outdoors model! this is a good looking EV that is a good price
This reviewer always seems to get the telling details just right: I LOVE the suggestion of an all-black panel connecting the two separate rear light vertical units, tying them to the blacked out roof and unifying the look into a clean whole visual unit. Still, I'm spite of that minor quibble, it's yet another home run for the Swedish design team at Volvo
Hi! Are you gonna make a video about the new BMW Z4 Touring Coupe Concept? 🙂
Looks great
That's really compelling for that price. Kinda wished there was a 300mi+ AWD one tho. I'm considering it.
Because this car is on the level of KIA, hence the low price.
@Kwachu jachu bro it's like 20k cheaper than an EV6. Probably not as reliable as a kia tho.
Nice video! I've really been looking forward to this car... but have to say, I really don't like the rear light design... makes the volvo brand loose that elegant vide imo
@bembli I would love your thoughts on the all-new Lexus GX! As an owner of the current Bronco, I absolutely love how robust the new GX looks. I would love your take on it!
As far as the small hood mounted Swedish flag, they might mean the small rubber flag tag that is attached on the driver side of the hood crease along the side. It was the same one that came with the early XC40's... I have one. LOL
Yes it’s been a feature of Volvos for the past decade. It’s almost like a designer tag on a jacket.
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg ITs been a feature on the seats inside. I could be mistaken, but from what I recall, the XC40 is the only model that came with the tag on the exterior, on the side of the hood. I think it only came on the first 400 XC40s.
Volvo's killing it with the EX30 on so many levels. Design, performance and Price :O. I mean WOW.
I’m not sure if someone’s said it but when they say Swedish flag on the hood they mean a little rubber thing on the left side like they did when they launched the XC40 a few years ago 😄
I prefer the EX30 compared to the EX90, the 90 looks weird from the front
The headlights are not the active ones like the EX 90, they are there already.
Waited for this video :) I think it has much the same design language as Polestar 2, but not like Polestar 3 and 4. Looks like Volvo will have nicer cars than Polestar in the future. Looking forward to a EV90...! Hope it will come soon :)
Yeah, the Polestar 2 came out when Polestar was just starting to separate from Volvo. The design in the same as the Volvo Concept 40.2, actually. Volvo is definitely the luxury branch as Polestar is kinda doing their own thing, but focusing on high-tech and athletic designs. Not sure if I misunderstood but the EX90 was also already revealed late last year!
U should talk about the BMW M3 Touring
My only question is now… why Polestar? They now kind of look the same and exist in the same bracket when the EX90 comes out
Exactly, but this is what Geely, Volvo's parent company does. They have Lynk & Co and Zeekr who make similar cars with the same design language. It doesn't really make sense.
Sportier with more swoopy designs. But Polestar drives sportier.
@@marantamil459 But Polestar came from Volvo. They've been tuning Volvos since the 1990s. Both Lynk and Zeekr are new companies, Polestar is more like if AMG for Mercedes started their own car line.
@@benjaminsmith2287 I understand. My point is that Geely likes to have 2 very similar car companies
@@marantamil459 I don't know if the Polestar spin off was because of Geely or Volvo. In my opinion, Geely is putting out too many brands, though.
Brilliantly designed. This elegant baby Volvo will quite possibly become the most successful Volvo car ever ✨🇸🇪
I love this car's design, but the C-pillar treatment really screams out at me. I feel the angled window sill should have connected with the real spoiler at an angle. Although the design does create a more interesting fin, it just feels like a missed opportunity.
Both Polestar and Volvo prices just seem out in left field. The new Polestar 4 is starting at 60k USD? For RWD? The 2024 XC40 RWD, once you add the first basic package, here in Canada, is 10k more than the AWD Model Y and it's smaller. And this car will great for people wanting a little pocket rocket but if you have a family, forget it.
Will probably be my next Volvo now then the old Volvo Laplander Campern is sold.
I don't understand how they got the Trademark for the name EX30, when the Infiniti EX35 and EX37 exist. They must have worked out some sort of deal.
I thought it comes under polestar
I prefer the cross country version
I cant wait to see that CC design!
Not slotting between C40 & XC40...this is the smallest Volvo behind both C40 & XC40. Beautiful car though.
A good looking EV from a reputable automaker with a great price and decent specs? Am I dreaming?😳
The dashboard might be class-leading in looking booring and not beeing ergonomic and user-friendly. The exterior looks good and the package could be good!
This is the best looking Volvo so far I think.
No, it's not
It looks extremely ugly. These minimalistic interiors are also very uncomfortable, there is nowhere to look at other than a giant screen...
@@Jedimack7 I think the s90 is Volvo's best looking car. The s60 is also very attractive and I also like the wagons, v90 and v60. I'm not sure about the EX90 as it lacks a grill. But, it may look great out on the street. This EX30 is a modernized, smaller XC40 IMO.
@@stellar3327 how about out the window?
@@siviter I obviously mean inside the car. You can look out the window in any car. The interior is still going to be in your field of view if you are looking out. I despise minimalism, that is the main reason I hate cars like this, its also an excuse for manufacturers to cheap out on the interior, they save a ton of costs and call it "clean" and "modern".
I really like this car but I am torn between Black and White with a black roof.
7:46 those black pieces of glass just before the hammer part of the headlights house the headlights for the EX30. Unlike the EX90, which has those really awesome headlights. These are more boring headlights
„Boring“ yeah right have you seen teslas headlights?
@@MaticTheProto I said more boring, not boring period. Don’t take the things I say out of context
Edit: besides, I see no real problem with Tesla headlights
looks alright, just a bit generic (suv)
This will be a huge success for Volvo. Too many new EVs are too big and expensive for European customers.
ABOUT A BIG ....ELECTRIC TOY....THE DESIGN IS DESCENT. YES....I LIKE THOSE LINES. VOLVO IS SO ORIGINAL.///////////////////////
Does anyone see corian countertop or “industrial linoleum” in that patterned stuff? Yuck
It looks really good and has decent stats and starting price. However, being made in china is gonna be a red flag for many
Made in China hasn't hurt sales or the reputation of the iPhone and other Apple products....
7:59
My sentiments, exactly
It’s like ‘they’re not in the Ford Family of Fine Cars anymore but they’re channeling some Crown Vic/Grandma Keith energy*’
🗣️ Mercury…
Mercury?
Bueller??
*by being so similar to another portfolio brand that the lines are blurred and it begs the question, why? (if there’s little visual distinction)
I do not see any Grandma in either Volvo or Polestar and to me this looks very clearly Volvo (and not Polestar). Definitely there are similarities, but this is clearly Volvo.
@@mho0 I definitely respect that and I probably should refresh myself on Polestar’s designs…
as I’ve never seen one in person and just the little I’ve seen online strikes me that way 😌
@@albertadams2095 :) We have Volvo V60 and Polestar 2. So I am somewhat familiar with those ... at least I can identify them both with good probability :)
@@mho0 Those are some sweet stablemates and I have to give respect where it’s due 😌
My only Volvo was an S60 T5 and I LOVED the way it looked, drove, felt, and even the way the interior smelled. I am pretty sure I could close my eyes and know I’m in a Volvo (from around 2005) as their interiors have a distinctive aroma 😌
Currently, I have a 3rd/current/final gen Audi TTS but I still have a soft spot for Volvo… and I will definitely see what they’re doing as I’m open to get my first plug-in hybrid or electric ⚡️
I could go on, haha….
Wishing safe and exciting travels to you, sir 🙌
Shame about legroom in the back. Deal breaker for us sadly
strange stamp this new Hyundai has
Looks like a Hyundai
I think for this price point, Volvo has just beat Tesla at their own game. Well done Volvo🎉🎉🎉
Oh great the interior looks looks like a plastic tub with a few sparkles and an Ipad in the middle ...
Perfect car brand for people aged 40+ , sorry that’s purely based on how it looks.
Too bad it is not a hybrid...it would be much less expensive, and not have any of the ev charging issues....as well for all the materials used in making this battery they could make aprox 18 hybrids with the same amt of material
Expensive?, This is a steal compared to other prices of EVs
@@colemartin4851 irrespective of any type of vehicle this particular vehicle will be less expensive as a hybrid
@@sgrant9814 maybe , maybe not, it depends on the pricing strategy and even then don't the IRA credits only click in at a certain price range ?
With a hybrid, you get the best of both, but the complications of both as well. I certainly don't want to deal with combustion engines anymore.
Volvo 2025... 😅 Why even bother, they should already reveal cold fusion nuclear Volvo 3025 😂
It looks like some kind of KIA or Hyundai.
it's nice but it looks like it's all plastic inside and out
Even Volvo is going through the same styling like most major companies, forcing the very thin & sharp lights, it's just so unappealing to the eyes
I don't understand this weird trend among car companies lately, should we blame the chinese? since they've started it? i'm not sure
I don't like how it looks
The real Volvo ended in the 1990s, then there was Ford and now there is Chinese.
You could say the same about other brands (ex: Bugatti), so what’s your point?
@@alexuemura2353 I don't like VAG but Buggatti still makes the world's most luxurious cars. Volvo, on the other hand, went from making great quality and very durable cars to making something on the level of Ford. An incredible fall
I think that's not true. I've had Volvos since the 1970s. The new ones feel distinctly like Volvos and they are still designed and engineered in Sweden at the Goteborg headquarters. And even in the 1980s Volvo made a car based on a Mitsubishi and another one based on DAF cars and had collaborations with other makers, such as Peugeot and Renault when they made the infamous PRV V-6 engine.
@@kwachujachu4415 How do you know what the durability of newer Volvos will be? There are plenty Volvos that are 20-25 years running now (mine is 21 years old). Maybe the new ones will run even longer. They may cost some money to keep running but who is to say they aren't durable?
It's just a rebranded "zeekr x", not an original Volvo design.
Looks nothing like it
And? It shares the platform with the new smart too, but what gives when they are all great cars with different features
It's a Volvo design. Zeekr uses the same platform but I don't see where they are sharing anything when comparing the two cars in terms of body panels and interior fittings. Now the Polestar 4 is a different story as that shares a ton with the Zeekr0001. Volvo didn't fall into the same trap with this car compared to the Zeekr X.
That thing is hideous.
Made in China. Swedish Flag on Hood? ROTFLMAO!
Better than made in America
chinese quality
@@czesaw597 IT doesn't matter where it is made. The quality of Volvos out of China is no different than out of Sweden or Belgium. The specs and mode of making them is the same. It's the design/engineering that matters and that headquarters is in Sweden that sets parameters for the design centers in California and Shanghai. Check out a Volvo s90. It's quality through and through. It's made in China. Compare it to an XC90 made in Sweden. No difference and if anything, maybe the Chinese one has a bit better quality.
There’s a lot of things like that genius. Maybe go outside your little bubble for once
It looks like a cheap Chinese toy. That is to say, everything agrees.
You don't have a bicycle and typing this comment hater 😂 or tesla fanboy
It isn’t cheap, or a toy.
It’s literally better than tesla.
Also as Teslas have shown made in china is better than made in America
@@scottysvensson Not everyone has to like the look of this chinese car, volvo fanboy
@@MaticTheProto People are putting China onto the car. This is the same design studio that brought the current Volvos and the Volvos before it. Basically, the commenter is putting the Chinese part onto this car because he knows they have a Chinese owner. But this car looks like a modern Swedish car, inside and out, which is what it is.
@@benjaminsmith2287 yeah. But tbf the platform it is on is made by geely. They are not bad tho so it’s really no big deal
