I have one and like it. It drives great, and the minimalism suits me. We wanted an electric hatchback and this is basically that, it's more or less the size of a Golf. There are very few options available in Canada when it comes to electric cars in a smaller hatchback form. The space in the rear isn't huge but hey it's a hatchback. We do use the back seat a lot, and it's fine though if you prefer to drive with the front seats pushed way back it will definitely cramp the rear seat passengers. We really didn't want a big car that wouldn't fit our garage, so a model 3 or a model Y to us is worthless as it's just too big and not what we want. For me the Volvo interior quality is really great, I don't know what they mean by comments about hard plastic, we have a Fiat 500 now that's a car with hard plastic everywhere. The Volvo is much nicer, the 'hard plastic' isn't really that hard it has a nice touch and I love that it employs a lot of recycled and natural materials. The main drawback is really the software maturity, even though it's been on the market elsewhere in the world for a half year or so there are still a lot of software bugs though Volvo has been issuing software updates somewhat regularly. I'm also not crazy about the keyless entry system. The entire idea of keyless entry is solving a problem that never existed in the first place.

I agree. And if you are going to put the controls in the screen, you shouldn’t have to tap once to bring up the controls and then tap again to adjust them. I think it’s a mistake to imitate Tesla instead, you should offer something they don’t have which are some basic physical controls. This manages to have a less of attractive interior than the Tesla too.

The interior looks like recycle interiors from a Greyhound bus😂 and the lack of physical controls to be replaced for all in one screen is basically a red flag for what Volvo is charging for it.
I actually don't mind the look of the recycled materials, it's just that the way they put in without compensating with other soft touch materials makes it a hard sale. And copying all the bad things from Tesla and VW (the rear window button) is just laziness
Where I am 45K starting is considered cheap!!! I got the ultra AWD not too long ago and coming from previous XC40 PHEV, this EX30 is really fun to drive. Kinda weird saying that for a VOLVO. I set my steering to medium stiffness (not sure the reviewers know there’s an option from soft to medium to hard).
For better or worse, the Model3 is the price benchmark in Canada at the entry level. If you price at the same level as Tesla, you better have higher quality interiors and actual physical controls, because that's Tesla's weak point. If you are going for the Tesla-like minimalist interior, it had better be priced under the Model3, because the customer is going to just going to go for Tesla by default if the pricing is similar, not to mention the SuperCharger network.
@stuntmonkey00 I kind of agree but Tesla does not offer a proper hatch back with a rear wiper. At any price! In Canada you want your hockey gear or your groceries, in the warm part of the car! Not in a cold trunk. You also don't want to be out wiping off your back window all the time. Those things are essential in Canada. A flat insulated roof that fits racks is a bonus.
wish you touch on the basic “remote functions “ in new vehicles whether they are *subscription* based or is it integrated in key fob. (heating the car )
The Polestar 2 was not a very appealing car, but when they had a CA$299/m for 12 months lease deal, lots of people wanted one. Same goes for this one, unless they get creative to have a good lease deal, it wont sell much.
@@janoycresnova9156 The battery is 99% its original spec. I think that people are so focused on range that they ignore used C40s. But it is perfect for me.
You can change the steering feel in the settings. It defaults to the lightest setting. Nothing to do with 'steering assist'. Also the screen isn't the only way to open the boot/trunk. There's a button on the actual boot lid.
4:20: as Zach says, a successful design age’s well. Volvo did nail it on this one, for a small runabout. Too bad it’s electric. Too bad the interior is too utilitarian.
Before the US tariff was raised to 100%, Volvo was exempt from the tariff for each unit of Chinese made ones imported for each Volvo vehicle they exported from their plant in the US. I don't know if this still applies after the change in tariff.
Good grief, who needs 400 HP & 440-lbs-ft for a city runabout with a stark, naked interior with all controls being on a touch screen? Exterior looks nice, but that is about it. Get the Niro! It has similar range as the RWD, much roomier, less weird, and 10 year warranty.. all for $10K less. My 1st 3 cars were late 60's Volvos (122S & 145S wagons & 1800S). Back then they were practical, comfortable, and industry leaders in safety and tech. Not so much today. Other than their wagons, I wouldn't give any Volvo a 2nd look. Their wagons are nice but similar not worth the premium over a Subaru or the Toyota Insignia.
My 1st Volvo was a 544. My 1998 V70, bought new, still in the garage, I love my 2023 S60 Recharge sedan. Regarding who needs 400 hp, did you miss the reference to the base one motor EX30?
@@billurban1581 Congrats on your "Sr" V70. The V70 Estate is still the quintessential Volvo box on wheels & still turns heads. I know realize that the EX-30 has a less powerful engine. But the question still remains: who needs 400 HP & 440-lbs-ft for a city runabout?
You guys, and Canada in general, should turn to Mexico to see what the future of Chinese car market in North America looks like. The answer is, build them in Mexico, take advantage of the free trade agreement and avoid "special" arbitrary taxes. You should see how good is the Zeeker X, based on the same EX30 platform. Fine job as always.
Don the Con is proposing tariffs on EVERYTHING made outside of the US. He's going to tear up the free trade agreement, he claims. That means everything imported to the US from Mexico AND Canada will cost more, killing sales.
There won't be free trade on cars built in Mexico!!! Canada (taxpayers) have spent a fortune building plants in Canada for assembly and part such as batteries.
The problem is when that battery takes it's final journey the vehicle will be worth nothing. You can be sure the used car people will be predicting how many kilometers versus years as to what your car is worth due to battery degradation.
Battery degradation is over hyped. In the past few years alone, battery technology has improved substantially. CATL (Contemporary Amprex) is building batteries that are guaranteed to outlast the life of a typical gas engine or the frequency of a major repair to an ICE vehicle. EV batteries are presently legally required to last 8 years or 160k km, and by 2030 we should see EVs with range of 800km and lifespan of guaranteed performance over 8 to 10 years or 500k km. Solid state batteries already have been shown to be able to recharge in 15 minutes and last longer than a gas engine, in addition to being lighter and safer. EVs will have a higher resale value than ICE vehicles because, in the near future repair costs (including battery replacement) will lower than ICE vehicles.
I'm so glad I'm a senior now because I don't like the way electric vehicles are going. I am not against one pedal driving, spent over $4K getting a Tesla wall charger installed, but when I look forward in a car, I want to see something. I don't view my cars as appliances and I am still capable of driving and enjoy controlling my progress down the road. When I go for a walk, my face isn't buried in a phone - when I drive I don't need something to distract me. Opening the glovebox DOESN'T NEED TO BE AUTOMATED. I don't worry about feeling bad because the future has passed me by and I can afford to buy anything it is offering (which is nice).
@@yuvallankri7304 That's not why they're built in China. Aren't Apple products built in China? Aren't most appliances you buy built in China? This is a plant choice. And Volvo developed their own platform, the SPA and SPA2 used in the larger Volvos and new EX90 (and Polestar 3), while this particular cars uses a platform developed by an ex-Saab engineer. Volvos are built in Sweden, Belgium, the USA and China with most of their cars for the North American market are not built in China. The EX90 will be built in the USA as will be the Polestar 3. And, Volvo's new plant is being built in Slovakia. Geely mostly funds Volvo but Volvo is actually more involved in engineering and designing their own cars more with Geely than they were with Ford owning them.
For the most part it’s true but the electric platform was created by Geely and they have a huge factory that builds their ev which includes the Volvo ex-30 polestar 3 geely geometry c zeeker x and many more.
@@yuvallankri7304 The Polestar 3 is going to be built in the USA and was mostly developed as a sister car to the Volvo EX90. Factories are capable enough to produce various products of different specs and brands. The electric platform, SPA2 is a Volvo platform, that's on the Polestar 3. The EX30 is on the Geely platform, the SEA. But the teams that did the Zeekr X in Sweden and the Volvo EX30 are different. In any car company the parent company can share components. Porsche shares a lot with Volkswagen as does Bentley. Many Porsches are on modified VW platforms. But, the different brands have tuned them and spec'd them and engineered and tested them very differently.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Ben you’re obviously well informed regarding Volvo but it is not complementary to credit the Swedes with their software, I can attest.
Thanks, guys! I s'pose I can see why you compare the EX30 with Tesla's Model 3 because pricing of the two is fairly close in Canada. But the EX30 is smaller, being close to a subcompact in 2024 (cars seem to have grown a bit in the last 10 years). It's a 2+2 where the Tesla is a 5 passenger (in a pinch) car. I had a deposit on the EX30, but the tariffs made me rethink even before Volvo cancelled its import plans & I'm leasing a Polestar 2. It is very nice having a display with speed, battery & driver assist status in front of the driver with audio or maps off to the side! (How did you like the sound system BTW?) Also, there are a few buttons & levers in the P2 plus lots of room in the hatch, but interior storage is poor (it has a transmission hump housing extra batteries). Although the Polestar 2 is comparable to the Tesla 3 in size, it's not easy to parallel park for me, coming from a Volvo C-30. Steering & 1-pedal drive are excellent in the P2. I'll need to see what's available in 2026 when my lease is up 🧐.
No Chinese built car for me, and the cost for the Belgium built car would likely be too high for what you get. I do like the exterior design, I assume it was designed in Sweden.
@@billurban1581 Volvo say they want to keep the price low, even when moving to the Ghent, Belgium plant. That's the plan, anyway. Yes, the designers are in Sweden but the basic chassis is a Geely design. (Hey, Ford didn't want Volvo anymore so what can ya do?)
Thanks for a great review, love the exterior design but the interior lets it down big style , I dont mind the seats and the lack of buttons but I for one still like a speedo with extra display to show me whats going on esp sat nav, for me its all about touch and feel , plastics tend to scratch easy and when they do it looks aged , the plastic with the speckles look like a old radio you use for painting and decorating , I have seen this in person and looks even cheaper inside, the boot ( that what we call it in the UK ) is super small esp if you are planning on going away. For the price I can think of many other cars with better interior
Heard a lot of issues regarding the battery and system itself (Randomly saying not enough power and then shutting down while on the highway). Just checked on the website for US and starting price was $45k so.. Guess I'm looking for the EV3.
Wonderful and entertaining video as always. What is the point of Geely/Volvo hiring interior designers if all they do is copy the.more than decade old bare only-screen Tesla? Underwhelming.
Hello Andrea and Zack. I love your videos. They're very insightful and yours is the only channel that actually provides a sound and educated advice for all car owners in every segment. I have a quick question - I'm currently driving a Hyundai Elantra 2021 with 96k kms, and I have about 15k balance on my car loan. I'm really interested in upgrading to an SUV like Tucson N-Line Hybrid 2025. What are your thoughts on the car? What do you advise? Should I trade-in? Is this the right time considering my existing loan? And how do I get the best value to buy and sell with the dealership?
My choices for my first ev was the ex30 and the id4 pro s. The id4 has a stop sale recall and apparently so does the ex30. Which would you choose between the 2?
I like the EX30. In Europe now and when it launches in the US, prices should be comparable to the Kona EV or Niro EV. The EX30 while smaller, is a good value at such prices. Pricing in Canada is IMO offensive and I recommend people that prefer a small car wait for the new Bolt or the Kia EV3.
yes - now that’s the comparison I’d like to have seen as well. I imagine the Equinox EV gives something of a feel for the Bolt EUV when it returns as a 2026 model
Drove one recently, liked it a lot. Do not want a tesla model y (too big, not impressed with tesla fit and finish). As empty nesters, we normally only have 1 or 2 in the car, rear room not a big deal. Agree with you on the high price - it would be a great car at 35,000.
This Volvo is comparable to any of the Tesals. It's much smaller. The Y is not a competitor. It's way too big to be in the same category. And you'll pay more for a Volvo because they're considerably better built than Teslas.
It isn't bad, but the EX30 price is WAY too expensive in Canada and uncomfortably close to the XC40 & C40 Recharge, which both feel more substantial and more luxurious.
I actually like the style of the interior. It’s fun and unique and not just another boring black and grey one. But let’s be honest, it’s all just cheap plastic materials with some marketing to make them sound better. The Honda civic touring hatch has more premium materials than this at almost half the price. This car should probably be priced around $45-50k cad. An electric powertrain doesn’t justify such a steep cost increase from a hybrid when considering value, longevity, convenience & reliability.
It's not cheap. It's sustainable and Volvo actually went through a lot of trouble to make these sustainable materials that they didn't have to. Most cars use textured plastic but how nice they feel may not have to do with how much they cost to make and develop.
"If you are that weak, you should take a bus". Zach's just awesome. My question is how is an EV in 2024/5 with almost 70kwh battery musters only 400km? Doesn't look like an efficient EV like the Tesla or Hyundai. Those paint fleck on the door cards will drive me nuts. It being priced this high = low value quotient for a "city runabout".
While this car does excite me I feel like a new ultimate platform chevy bolt would be this cars perfect alternative for me given that i’ve done 35k miles in the last 9 months I want a cheap ev but without the “Neat” gadgets everyone else seems to want in every EV. I don’t want a glass roof, I want a traditional interior layout, I want small wheels 17 inch is perfect, I don’t need it to be dual motors as standard but i would like a single motor version without fully stripping the features similar to teslas trim structure. The bolt EUV as it stands was the perfect vehicle for me but i had to go ICE one more time before switching because i can’t afford anything fancier and 55kw peak charging speeds simply don’t keep up with my driving habits and California’s charging station Lines at peak hours. (Edit): I do know that Kia niro ev and hyundai kona ev offer similar vibes to what i’m asking for.. But without all the BS tax credit numbers.. the price of those cars is too big for the space the take up on the road.
Some of Zacks's facial expressions that express disagreement are funny. The US will get a Belgium-built model but I think the parts will still be made in China. I think EV3 is better w/AWD.
I only took my eyes off the road for two seconds officer…to check how fast I was going…at 100 kilometres that’s 28 metres per second…just a tad distracted
@@samkong2741 They're not Geely. They're OWNED BY Geely. That doesn't make them created or made by Geely. Geelly finances them but ZGH, the Geely group, Also, neither does a plant that assembles them make them Geely. unlike a lot of other owners, don't dictate to or create cars for them. BMW owns Rolls Royce and there are some BMW components in Rolls Royce but Rolls Royce are created by and designed by and primarily engineered by Rolls Royce. Lotus still has teams of people in Conventry specing their cars even if they use some Geely platforms. Saying they are Geely is misleading. They are in the Geely group. But Geely has their own cars, Geely Auto like VW has their own brand, VW. But Porsche and Lamborghini are not VWs just like Volvos and Lotus are not Geelys.
The UK will fortunately not follow suit from the EU, US or Canada in imposing tariffs on China-made EVs. But I don't know if the EX30s from 2025 onwards destined for the UK will be made in Belgium like the future ones built for the US, Canadian and EU markets. Turkey's EX30s will also be built in Belgium, because apparently they have some weird law against Chinese-made EVs or whatever. They never got the China-made EX30.
Will be made in Belgium coming to North America. The initial batch sold in Canada were made in China. This should be a non-issue. If anything, the Chinese made ones are better made than the Belgium made ones but they are all built to Volvo specs.
I like how it looks inside and out. But I don’t like when the screen looks literally like an iPad glued to the dash. At least integrate it in an appealing way. I also would never buy a car without a driver screen in front of the driver.
We have screens all over the place and it doesn't look glued on on in this car. It looks like it is propped on a shelf. But we have screens hanging up over fireplaces in homes. Screens sitting on desks everywhere. I don't love screens everywhere but almost all new cars have screens on their dashboards and consoles. I don't like that Volvo didn't put a screen in front of the driver. That was stupid. Thankfully, this is the only Volvo they've done so.
I test drove this car, and didn’t like the feeling. Another quirky thing, it only has “hold mode” in the drive mode, but continues creeping in the reverse mode. Very strange. And price point doesn’t justify experience. For less I believe I can buy Equinox EV.
$110,000?! Thats wild. Even without the tarriff, price is too high already. Price will likely get a price bump after all the China-made inventory sells out. And the glove box is through the screen?! WHY?? Size, lack of storage, everything IN the screen, all the plastic, no HUD? Could have done a blend of recyced plastic and recycled "fabric". This EV is D.O.A.
A great, fun review… Hmm, the range seems pretty similar to the BZ4X which is mediocre for the price. And this is yet another questionable entry from a company that has lackluster reliability. Numb steering, plastic interior, bland SUV styling, are turn offs for me.
Tesla gives you the option to customize the steering wheel button. I've set the one on the left to pop the glove box open when pressed in, no more going into the screen. It makes me chuckle when screens get so demonized in cars. Most elements in the car can be left on auto not requiring any interaction. Tesla also makes the voice commands dead simple and easy to use. Press the right steering wheel button in and tell it what to adjust. I'm sure this has something similar with Google integration. Oh ya and Zack, one pedal driving forever! Time to move into the future buddy ;-) Not only is this a superb way to drive an electric car but also a safety feature most people don't consider. With one pedal driving the vehicle starts to decelerate as soon as you lift off. You can actually stop the car quicker in an emergency situation this way instead of taking the few seconds to lift off the accelerator and move to the brake pedal. For the price, model 3 all day long...
@@patbarr1351absolutely! I think BMW and Tesla do it best. Personally I wouldn't offer "settings" for this function. Considering this also helps capture back some energy. On the flip side I understand that some people would like the option.
Those rear seats are a joke. And so is the price. 63-65k??? Volvo is out to lunch. Same goes for Polestar. The Lease payment is 940 bucks per month before taxes in Canada. LOL. Spare me. Edit, I just got to sit in the EX30 a day ago. I'm around 6' tall. I set the driver's seat, then tried to sit behind that seat. LOL. No way I could fit without doing a very sexy wide spread.... those rear seats are more of a joke than I originally thought.
News just in that US govt will ban cars with Chinese hardware or software. Polestar says this effectively bans them from US even the SUVs they build in US with Volvo. Volvo would also not be able to sell the EX90. Volvo's strategy to source Chinese does not look good. EX30 also uses Chinese sourced hardware/software.

Where I am 45K starting is considered cheap!!! I got the ultra AWD not too long ago and coming from previous XC40 PHEV, this EX30 is really fun to drive. Kinda weird saying that for a VOLVO.
I set my steering to medium stiffness (not sure the reviewers know there’s an option from soft to medium to hard).
For better or worse, the Model3 is the price benchmark in Canada at the entry level. If you price at the same level as Tesla, you better have higher quality interiors and actual physical controls, because that's Tesla's weak point. If you are going for the Tesla-like minimalist interior, it had better be priced under the Model3, because the customer is going to just going to go for Tesla by default if the pricing is similar, not to mention the SuperCharger network.
@stuntmonkey00 I kind of agree but Tesla does not offer a proper hatch back with a rear wiper. At any price!
In Canada you want your hockey gear or your groceries, in the warm part of the car! Not in a cold trunk. You also don't want to be out wiping off your back window all the time. Those things are essential in Canada. A flat insulated roof that fits racks is a bonus.
Seems like the EV3 will be the one to get in few months.
11:00 No driver side gauge cluster, then where is the heads up display?
There isn't one.
@@andreaspencer9813 so much for Volvo software engineers, sadly behind the curve.
Nearly $60,000 CAD starting and no HUD is wild. People were hoping the updated Tesla Model 3 would get a HUD, but it didn't happen.
Loving it, EX stands for extra.
Looks nice, but a little small for my needs.
Good looking appliance vehicle!
That has far better performance and efficiency than any competitive gas model.
Appliance vehicles have physical buttons and a driver cluster display. Basic features.
smartphone vehicle, not appliance
wish you touch on the basic “remote functions “ in new vehicles whether they are *subscription* based or is it integrated in key fob. (heating the car )
The Polestar 2 was not a very appealing car, but when they had a CA$299/m for 12 months lease deal, lots of people wanted one. Same goes for this one, unless they get creative to have a good lease deal, it wont sell much.
Love my used 2023 C40 Recharge Twin at 50% of new MSRP. The EX30 will be a hit, but I'd recommend buying it used.
buying a used Volvo EV will likely result in very expensive repair costs with Volvo's history of reliability
@@sebastianheine378 according to JD Power a Volvo will likely have one more issue in the third year of ownership than a Lexus. Big deal.
@@billurban1581 I wouldn’t trust JD power’s bought and paid for ratings
50% off MSRP due to battery being 50% worn out already.
@@janoycresnova9156 The battery is 99% its original spec. I think that people are so focused on range that they ignore used C40s. But it is perfect for me.
You can change the steering feel in the settings. It defaults to the lightest setting. Nothing to do with 'steering assist'.
Also the screen isn't the only way to open the boot/trunk. There's a button on the actual boot lid.
4:20: as Zach says, a successful design age’s well. Volvo did nail it on this one, for a small runabout. Too bad it’s electric. Too bad the interior is too utilitarian.
Oh yes. Regular door handles. More ev should do the same.
I bought the Twin Ultra, first EV. It’s a very cool & Fast car
@@martinlecycliste8602 Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it!
Before the US tariff was raised to 100%, Volvo was exempt from the tariff for each unit of Chinese made ones imported for each Volvo vehicle they exported from their plant in the US. I don't know if this still applies after the change in tariff.
With our labor cost among the highest worldwide I wouldn’t imagine too many Volvos would be exported from South Carolina. What are the numbers?
@@billurban1581 It's the bigger more expensive Volvos
Good grief, who needs 400 HP & 440-lbs-ft for a city runabout with a stark, naked interior with all controls being on a touch screen? Exterior looks nice, but that is about it.
Get the Niro! It has similar range as the RWD, much roomier, less weird, and 10 year warranty.. all for $10K less.
My 1st 3 cars were late 60's Volvos (122S & 145S wagons & 1800S). Back then they were practical, comfortable, and industry leaders in safety and tech. Not so much today. Other than their wagons, I wouldn't give any Volvo a 2nd look. Their wagons are nice but similar not worth the premium over a Subaru or the Toyota Insignia.
My 1st Volvo was a 544. My 1998 V70, bought new, still in the garage, I love my 2023 S60 Recharge sedan. Regarding who needs 400 hp, did you miss the reference to the base one motor EX30?
@@billurban1581 Congrats on your "Sr" V70. The V70 Estate is still the quintessential Volvo box on wheels & still turns heads. I know realize that the EX-30 has a less powerful engine. But the question still remains: who needs 400 HP & 440-lbs-ft for a city runabout?
You guys, and Canada in general, should turn to Mexico to see what the future of Chinese car market in North America looks like. The answer is, build them in Mexico, take advantage of the free trade agreement and avoid "special" arbitrary taxes.
You should see how good is the Zeeker X, based on the same EX30 platform.
Fine job as always.
Don the Con is proposing tariffs on EVERYTHING made outside of the US. He's going to tear up the free trade agreement, he claims. That means everything imported to the US from Mexico AND Canada will cost more, killing sales.
Screw Mexico, I hope they slap tariffs on them too. Return manufacturing back to US and Canada.
There won't be free trade on cars built in Mexico!!! Canada (taxpayers) have spent a fortune building plants in Canada for assembly and part such as batteries.
The problem is when that battery takes it's final journey the vehicle will be worth nothing. You can be sure the used car people will be predicting how many kilometers versus years as to what your car is worth due to battery degradation.
Battery degradation and subsequently poor resale value are two huge issues EVs need to overcome.
@@janoycresnova9156PHEVs . . . Not so much.
Battery degradation is over hyped. In the past few years alone, battery technology has improved substantially. CATL (Contemporary Amprex) is building batteries that are guaranteed to outlast the life of a typical gas engine or the frequency of a major repair to an ICE vehicle. EV batteries are presently legally required to last 8 years or 160k km, and by 2030 we should see EVs with range of 800km and lifespan of guaranteed performance over 8 to 10 years or 500k km. Solid state batteries already have been shown to be able to recharge in 15 minutes and last longer than a gas engine, in addition to being lighter and safer. EVs will have a higher resale value than ICE vehicles because, in the near future repair costs (including battery replacement) will lower than ICE vehicles.
Sorry...over $60000 for a tiny runabout is nuts.
I'm so glad I'm a senior now because I don't like the way electric vehicles are going. I am not against one pedal driving, spent over $4K getting a Tesla wall charger installed, but when I look forward in a car, I want to see something. I don't view my cars as appliances and I am still capable of driving and enjoy controlling my progress down the road. When I go for a walk, my face isn't buried in a phone - when I drive I don't need something to distract me. Opening the glovebox DOESN'T NEED TO BE AUTOMATED.
I don't worry about feeling bad because the future has passed me by and I can afford to buy anything it is offering (which is nice).
Wild thought. A Volvo built in Sweden? :)
Their ev are built in china because Volvo was acquired by geely who developed the ev platform that the Volvo ex 30 is based on.
@@yuvallankri7304 That's not why they're built in China. Aren't Apple products built in China? Aren't most appliances you buy built in China? This is a plant choice. And Volvo developed their own platform, the SPA and SPA2 used in the larger Volvos and new EX90 (and Polestar 3), while this particular cars uses a platform developed by an ex-Saab engineer.
Volvos are built in Sweden, Belgium, the USA and China with most of their cars for the North American market are not built in China. The EX90 will be built in the USA as will be the Polestar 3. And, Volvo's new plant is being built in Slovakia. Geely mostly funds Volvo but Volvo is actually more involved in engineering and designing their own cars more with Geely than they were with Ford owning them.
For the most part it’s true but the electric platform was created by Geely and they have a huge factory that builds their ev which includes the Volvo ex-30 polestar 3 geely geometry c zeeker x and many more.
@@yuvallankri7304 The Polestar 3 is going to be built in the USA and was mostly developed as a sister car to the Volvo EX90. Factories are capable enough to produce various products of different specs and brands. The electric platform, SPA2 is a Volvo platform, that's on the Polestar 3. The EX30 is on the Geely platform, the SEA. But the teams that did the Zeekr X in Sweden and the Volvo EX30 are different.
In any car company the parent company can share components. Porsche shares a lot with Volkswagen as does Bentley. Many Porsches are on modified VW platforms. But, the different brands have tuned them and spec'd them and engineered and tested them very differently.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Ben you’re obviously well informed regarding Volvo but it is not complementary to credit the Swedes with their software, I can attest.
Thanks, guys! I s'pose I can see why you compare the EX30 with Tesla's Model 3 because pricing of the two is fairly close in Canada. But the EX30 is smaller, being close to a subcompact in 2024 (cars seem to have grown a bit in the last 10 years). It's a 2+2 where the Tesla is a 5 passenger (in a pinch) car. I had a deposit on the EX30, but the tariffs made me rethink even before Volvo cancelled its import plans & I'm leasing a Polestar 2. It is very nice having a display with speed, battery & driver assist status in front of the driver with audio or maps off to the side! (How did you like the sound system BTW?) Also, there are a few buttons & levers in the P2 plus lots of room in the hatch, but interior storage is poor (it has a transmission hump housing extra batteries). Although the Polestar 2 is comparable to the Tesla 3 in size, it's not easy to parallel park for me, coming from a Volvo C-30. Steering & 1-pedal drive are excellent in the P2. I'll need to see what's available in 2026 when my lease is up 🧐.
No Chinese built car for me, and the cost for the Belgium built car would likely be too high for what you get. I do like the exterior design, I assume it was designed in Sweden.
@@billurban1581 Volvo say they want to keep the price low, even when moving to the Ghent, Belgium plant. That's the plan, anyway. Yes, the designers are in Sweden but the basic chassis is a Geely design. (Hey, Ford didn't want Volvo anymore so what can ya do?)
Love the look
Thanks for a great review, love the exterior design but the interior lets it down big style , I dont mind the seats and the lack of buttons but I for one still like a speedo with extra display to show me whats going on esp sat nav, for me its all about touch and feel , plastics tend to scratch easy and when they do it looks aged , the plastic with the speckles look like a old radio you use for painting and decorating , I have seen this in person and looks even cheaper inside, the boot ( that what we call it in the UK ) is super small esp if you are planning on going away. For the price I can think of many other cars with better interior
This is a good empty nesters car, especially when Tesla opens the supercharger network to Volvos.
Curious why Zack always wears earbuds for back seat tests? Never see him with them in for other parts of the video. What's he listening to?
I don't like cramp backseat, everything else I could deal with, though it would be nice to have a few nobs for volume and climate controls.
Heard a lot of issues regarding the battery and system itself (Randomly saying not enough power and then shutting down while on the highway). Just checked on the website for US and starting price was $45k so.. Guess I'm looking for the EV3.
Love the compact size for the city ! The power numbers sound great. It needs a driver console !
@@OmarSerajKazi or just add a HUD
The planned US prices seem good for what it offers, we'll see if it remains similar when it actually goes on sale...
Wonderful and entertaining video as always. What is the point of Geely/Volvo hiring interior designers if all they do is copy the.more than decade old bare only-screen Tesla? Underwhelming.
Geely is the pioneering parent company of Volvo = 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Great looking and a good size. Solid package
Hello Andrea and Zack. I love your videos. They're very insightful and yours is the only channel that actually provides a sound and educated advice for all car owners in every segment. I have a quick question - I'm currently driving a Hyundai Elantra 2021 with 96k kms, and I have about 15k balance on my car loan. I'm really interested in upgrading to an SUV like Tucson N-Line Hybrid 2025. What are your thoughts on the car? What do you advise? Should I trade-in? Is this the right time considering my existing loan? And how do I get the best value to buy and sell with the dealership?
You guys need to test the EX90. Thank you.
My choices for my first ev was the ex30 and the id4 pro s. The id4 has a stop sale recall and apparently so does the ex30. Which would you choose between the 2?
2025 Ioniq 5 or any Model Y. Wait for R3 potentially? I wouldn't recommend either the EX30 or ID.4
@@Snerdles I was thinking of trading the EV inens of buying for the r3. It won't be out till 2027.
I'd go with id4 pro s between those two.
Nice looking EV from Volvo, compact and nimble 🎉
Agreed, but the interior disappoints.
I like the EX30. In Europe now and when it launches in the US, prices should be comparable to the Kona EV or Niro EV. The EX30 while smaller, is a good value at such prices. Pricing in Canada is IMO offensive and I recommend people that prefer a small car wait for the new Bolt or the Kia EV3.
Love your show. Hate the car. Mind you, Volvo's have always been heavy & vague.
Not made in China, it is serial produced in China and going to produce in Belgium. The car is designed and developed in Gothenburg, Sweden.
How do you compare it with the 2023 Bolt EUV?
yes - now that’s the comparison I’d like to have seen as well. I imagine the Equinox EV gives something of a feel for the Bolt EUV when it returns as a 2026 model
Love your reviews. Would be nice to include metric measurements for the other 95% of the population. Will certainly broaden your audience.
What does it smell inside?
Smells fishy ...
Money
Those prices… and i am glad you pulled up the original prices they were posting and the current prices… joke.
That interior is not justifiable for a volvo especially a brand that resolve around luxury.
I find that the leather interior in my forte5 GT nicer
The ex30 AWD is on the us sitefor $46k and 47k
There is still room for improvement in terms of seat configuration, price and charging facilities
Drove one recently, liked it a lot. Do not want a tesla model y (too big, not impressed with tesla fit and finish). As empty nesters, we normally only have 1 or 2 in the car, rear room not a big deal. Agree with you on the high price - it would be a great car at 35,000.
This Volvo is comparable to any of the Tesals. It's much smaller. The Y is not a competitor. It's way too big to be in the same category. And you'll pay more for a Volvo because they're considerably better built than Teslas.
I borrowed and tested EX30 for 3 days. Amazing car. The ”moist” interior is the option I like.
So this probably means it will get even more expensive once these come from Europe? Why would anyone buy this?
It isn't bad, but the EX30 price is WAY too expensive in Canada and uncomfortably close to the XC40 & C40 Recharge, which both feel more substantial and more luxurious.
I actually like the style of the interior. It’s fun and unique and not just another boring black and grey one. But let’s be honest, it’s all just cheap plastic materials with some marketing to make them sound better. The Honda civic touring hatch has more premium materials than this at almost half the price. This car should probably be priced around $45-50k cad. An electric powertrain doesn’t justify such a steep cost increase from a hybrid when considering value, longevity, convenience & reliability.
It's not cheap. It's sustainable and Volvo actually went through a lot of trouble to make these sustainable materials that they didn't have to. Most cars use textured plastic but how nice they feel may not have to do with how much they cost to make and develop.
Interior designers shall be fired!
Why would anyone get the top trim as it doesn't get anything more. Or does it?
"If you are that weak, you should take a bus". Zach's just awesome.
My question is how is an EV in 2024/5 with almost 70kwh battery musters only 400km? Doesn't look like an efficient EV like the Tesla or Hyundai. Those paint fleck on the door cards will drive me nuts.
It being priced this high = low value quotient for a "city runabout".
Its a horrible tesla copy cat...ugg! Why can't EVs just be normal inside.
I love my xc40 but I can’t get on board with Volvos new interiors. I’m not paying $$$ for plastic fantastic. It looks cheap :( Also I need buttons.
While this car does excite me I feel like a new ultimate platform chevy bolt would be this cars perfect alternative for me given that i’ve done 35k miles in the last 9 months I want a cheap ev but without the “Neat” gadgets everyone else seems to want in every EV. I don’t want a glass roof, I want a traditional interior layout, I want small wheels 17 inch is perfect, I don’t need it to be dual motors as standard but i would like a single motor version without fully stripping the features similar to teslas trim structure. The bolt EUV as it stands was the perfect vehicle for me but i had to go ICE one more time before switching because i can’t afford anything fancier and 55kw peak charging speeds simply don’t keep up with my driving habits and California’s charging station Lines at peak hours.
(Edit): I do know that Kia niro ev and hyundai kona ev offer similar vibes to what i’m asking for.. But without all the BS tax credit numbers.. the price of those cars is too big for the space the take up on the road.
Relax people. It’s just another car.
Some of Zacks's facial expressions that express disagreement are funny. The US will get a Belgium-built model but I think the parts will still be made in China. I think EV3 is better w/AWD.
$65K for that little peanut? Using public transit and taking taxis doesn't look so bad, does it?
PS: Does the EX30 use AA or AAA batteries? 😁
Funny to see a Chinese made car more expensive than some North American made one....
Would be a good deal if it was priced at $30,000 CAD!
I only took my eyes off the road for two seconds officer…to check how fast I was going…at 100 kilometres that’s 28 metres per second…just a tad distracted
(Volvo EV=Geely) Chinese EVs are getting better and better.
Well, go ahead with this mistaken notion that Volvo is Geely. That's like saying Lamborghini or Bentley are Volkswagens.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Pls read clearly “EVs” you can deny all day.. NP
@@benjaminsmith2287 I hate bring this to you, but even Lotus EVs are Geely too.
@@samkong2741 They're not Geely. They're OWNED BY Geely. That doesn't make them created or made by Geely. Geelly finances them but ZGH, the Geely group, Also, neither does a plant that assembles them make them Geely. unlike a lot of other owners, don't dictate to or create cars for them. BMW owns Rolls Royce and there are some BMW components in Rolls Royce but Rolls Royce are created by and designed by and primarily engineered by Rolls Royce. Lotus still has teams of people in Conventry specing their cars even if they use some Geely platforms. Saying they are Geely is misleading. They are in the Geely group. But Geely has their own cars, Geely Auto like VW has their own brand, VW. But Porsche and Lamborghini are not VWs just like Volvos and Lotus are not Geelys.
The UK will fortunately not follow suit from the EU, US or Canada in imposing tariffs on China-made EVs. But I don't know if the EX30s from 2025 onwards destined for the UK will be made in Belgium like the future ones built for the US, Canadian and EU markets.
Turkey's EX30s will also be built in Belgium, because apparently they have some weird law against Chinese-made EVs or whatever. They never got the China-made EX30.
“If you’re that weak” says Mr. “I need a power lift gate “ 😂
Is this made in China???
Will be made in Belgium coming to North America. The initial batch sold in Canada were made in China. This should be a non-issue. If anything, the Chinese made ones are better made than the Belgium made ones but they are all built to Volvo specs.
I like how it looks inside and out. But I don’t like when the screen looks literally like an iPad glued to the dash. At least integrate it in an appealing way. I also would never buy a car without a driver screen in front of the driver.
We have screens all over the place and it doesn't look glued on on in this car. It looks like it is propped on a shelf. But we have screens hanging up over fireplaces in homes. Screens sitting on desks everywhere. I don't love screens everywhere but almost all new cars have screens on their dashboards and consoles.
I don't like that Volvo didn't put a screen in front of the driver. That was stupid. Thankfully, this is the only Volvo they've done so.
I want to like it. I like to see a smaller EV. But there's lots of little things that would make me say no. Hey VW, ID.3 in Canada please?
No buttons. No thank you. I'm sure one day car makers bring bring back buttons to replace the tablets.
Volvo does age well. What one pedal drive is great!
With my PHEV, my ideal is with regeneration slowing the vehicle to four mph, then the brake pedal for the stop.
I test drove this car, and didn’t like the feeling. Another quirky thing, it only has “hold mode” in the drive mode, but continues creeping in the reverse mode. Very strange. And price point doesn’t justify experience. For less I believe I can buy Equinox EV.
I was wondering why there was glitter everywhere.
$110,000?! Thats wild. Even without the tarriff, price is too high already. Price will likely get a price bump after all the China-made inventory sells out. And the glove box is through the screen?! WHY?? Size, lack of storage, everything IN the screen, all the plastic, no HUD? Could have done a blend of recyced plastic and recycled "fabric". This EV is D.O.A.
A great, fun review… Hmm, the range seems pretty similar to the BZ4X which is mediocre for the price. And this is yet another questionable entry from a company that has lackluster reliability. Numb steering, plastic interior, bland SUV styling, are turn offs for me.
Tesla gives you the option to customize the steering wheel button. I've set the one on the left to pop the glove box open when pressed in, no more going into the screen. It makes me chuckle when screens get so demonized in cars. Most elements in the car can be left on auto not requiring any interaction. Tesla also makes the voice commands dead simple and easy to use. Press the right steering wheel button in and tell it what to adjust. I'm sure this has something similar with Google integration. Oh ya and Zack, one pedal driving forever! Time to move into the future buddy ;-) Not only is this a superb way to drive an electric car but also a safety feature most people don't consider. With one pedal driving the vehicle starts to decelerate as soon as you lift off. You can actually stop the car quicker in an emergency situation this way instead of taking the few seconds to lift off the accelerator and move to the brake pedal. For the price, model 3 all day long...
A few seconds…. No way
A fraction of a second !
Don't forget that some cars implement 1-pedal drive better than others & may not let the users customize it.
@@patbarr1351absolutely! I think BMW and Tesla do it best. Personally I wouldn't offer "settings" for this function. Considering this also helps capture back some energy. On the flip side I understand that some people would like the option.
I considered a Tesla, but now that Musk has gone off the deep end of the cuckoo-pool, Tesla is off my list.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH wouldn’t buy an EV but love Elon’s politics.

Volvo emphasis on safety 50 years ago is one reason why all cars are safer today.

They don’t recall the steering on Cadillacs of the 60s and 70s. I finger steering
Tom McCahill (iconic Mechanix Illustrated car reviewer) called them living rooms on wheels.
Those rear seats are a joke. And so is the price. 63-65k??? Volvo is out to lunch. Same goes for Polestar. The Lease payment is 940 bucks per month before taxes in Canada. LOL. Spare me.
Edit, I just got to sit in the EX30 a day ago. I'm around 6' tall. I set the driver's seat, then tried to sit behind that seat. LOL. No way I could fit without doing a very sexy wide spread.... those rear seats are more of a joke than I originally thought.
Take the bus...lol😂
Wow a subcompact for $60k?
Near $80k after taxes...no thanks. A RWD Polestar 2 is far more appealing
Used polestar is where it’s at
Much older platform. Polestar should work at Polestar 2 replacement over Polestar 5 and unnecessary Roadster. They should cancel the Roadster.
No EV is appealing.
Dropping 80k on any ev is a very poor financial decision
Is it just me, or does Zack always look a little uneasy and nervous when Andrea is driving? 😂
News just in that US govt will ban cars with Chinese hardware or software. Polestar says this effectively bans them from US even the SUVs they build in US with Volvo. Volvo would also not be able to sell the EX90. Volvo's strategy to source Chinese does not look good. EX30 also uses Chinese sourced hardware/software.
Wow! I love your content and hubby & wifey banter:-). In this case, I think hubby could have been more objective in his review. He didn't do a great job hiding his personal view, and spent most of the time being fairly negative. This might be his least objective review.
🎉
Zack doesn't like the future haha
Cute on the outside but range isn't very good for such a small vehicle. I think it is a miss.
Too much money or too little car.
