New Volvo EX30 SUV: Volvo's budget electric car?!

Volvo has fleshed-out its small electric car offering with the new EX30, and with prices starting from less than £34,000, it's set to undercut a plethora of mainstream rivals. Taking styling inspiration from the brand's forthcoming EX90 flagship, the maker's entry-level EV will get a tech-filled interior and a choice of single and dual-motor powertrains – the punchiest of which will rocket the crossover from 0-62mph in just 3.6 seconds.

I used to love watching car reviews but I barely do anymore because what’s the point when they are ludicrously expensive. I wouldn’t buy out of principal.

Oh dear. Another ESUV. Just what the world needs.

It's a nice looking car but when did upwards of £35, 000 become "budget"

[decker]

Not for me but I can understand why some people would want one but £40k+ - how does the everage person afford one, without a 2nd mortgage? Not just this car, any car! Oh and, Where's Nicola? 😂

Suggest that Autoexpress completes this item by finding how much it costs to get one of these cars on finance. I did and it is not a low cost

Roll on the development in the market when low price is considered better than unnecessary bhp and 0-60 times.

Has a rear wiper, that's a rarity with EVs and very welcome.

HUGE price DIFFERENCE!!!
What a price difference, exact same model with same specs is EUR 5.695 cheaper in Germany than in Cyprus. How can this be explained? Other well known car companies have a price difference of EUR 1.000 which can be explained from the extra shipping cost.
I love the car but such a high price difference makes you wonder if the car is worth it and somebody else is ....

I enjoyed watching the Video 😊. Looks nice

Why do they make some electric cars to look like something out of a sci fi movie ? If the final version looks like that then for me yuk but to some I’m sure it will appeal. Budget as well, who decided those prices, probably the same person who designed it and is on another planet.

Did they just grab someone from the street.. "excuse me mate can you just review this Volvo for us.." this guy terrible... i wouldn't buy anything he reviews

[urbanus]

0:45 ENOUGH. Why did you replaced Nicola with this gibberish speaking individual ?
PS. Chinese Volvo, NO thanx.

Thinking of buying an EV made in China? Watch this first - the DW documentary: ‘A highly problematic material’ The dark side of cobalt

A presenter with painfully little screen presence; can’t say that the car did much for my heart rate either
