I ordered C40. I prefer traditional buttons and a speedometer in the right spot.

I already have a xc40 denim blue. And i love it 😀

Ive been driving the XC40 Recharge for 2 months and fell in love with it from day one. It has a modern a s robust look. The XC30 is more on the sleeker side with a better infotainment system. The XC40 has such a premium interior, eapecially on charcoal black.

The EX 30 was what finally got me bying Volvo shares. They are doing so much right these days!

[milesyounghamilton]

I have ordered a EX30. Good performance, stylish, modern interior and great value for money. I like that it strips out all the unnecessary things that you pay a fortune for these days. We live in London so the size is a plus for us and I can’t imagine we have have adults in the back that often. No brainier to me. I was always put off by the old fashioned interiors and bulky exteriors of the older Volvos. This is a game changer in design language

The 40 recharge is just so beautiful 😍

When I configured my EX30 RWD + large battery, I was sitting at $47K. The updated XC40 with RWD + larger battery feels like a better value.

[purplexed]

Thanks for the video comparion Kris, completely agreed.

FYI, based on the official specs on the Volvo website, the EX30 ground clearance is 165mm.

I think an updated XC 40 (EX 40?) or EX 60 will hit the sweet spot after newer battery tech is available.

The EX 30 is very impressive. When the space is enough, it is currently the best choice. ID.3 go home. Great performance for a low price. Android automotive with Google Maps is really great.I would go wit it if I would not already have a Polestar 2😊. I'm really looking forward for real world tests.

[jan-olofohlsson]

I’m very pleased with my XC40 single motor. It is à fantastik Car!👍

[colingoode]

A great looking small SUV which would have been on our list for our first EV but no driver display is a deal breaker for me. It's simply not safe to keep having to look at a tablet instead of the road ahead. We will be looking for a used facelift Kona instead.

4:05 - Answer to the 'which is bigger in interior space'.

[QuickmixProductions]

Both. I drive a C40 and switch to the XC30 Performance as soon as possible. :)

[PsjogrenGoS]

I think that Volvo made a big mistake by not including a Head-Up-Display, not even as an option in Ultimate. This shows that they haven´t considered people with bifocal glasses, like myself, who will need to turn their heads to be able to focus on the center screen. I.e its not possible for me to focus and read from the center display with just a quick eye movement - very bad choice in my opinion and a dealbreaker for me.
Otherwise, I´m really impressed but would have preferred to have more distinct color choices.

[lernenbewegt]

Thank you for that comparison. What I figured out today is an important point: With the XC40 you have roof rails for a roof rack. There is no possibility for that with the EX30 or C40. I needed this for skis or boats etc. - I share the opinion from Kris: C40 has the best design.

[treehugger]

I like the interior of the XC40 a lot more. I need buttons, I can't deal with more touchscreens. Also, that squarish steering wheel is just odd.

[robertvickers]

Ex30 please, perfect size and performance. Swapping my XC40 hybrid for it ..

[mikaelskoglund]

EX 30 looks so mutch nicer from the front. C40 with same look should be my choise. Maby the next c40 will be more like the EX30, i hope that.

I think a head up display would really be great as an add-on to overcome all the keyboard warriors complaining about the missing driver display
