3 things I HATE with Volvo's #EX30 😠

What I don't like with #EX30
One was apparent, but really had to search and twist my head to see if there's anything I don't like. Actually harder than I thought.

✈️ Disclaimer. Volvo covered my travel expenses. So flight, hotel, food and return flight. All by Volvo Norway. 

They invited me on this trip. It's not sponsored content, but covered travel expenses. 

Then I had to take 2 days off my regular day job, without pay.

Absolutely agree that the Ultra should include a HUD option.

[robc]

Not having the driver screen is a dealbreaker for me. I have had the Tesla three and the Tesla Y and now I have the Polestar 2. Which I absolutely love! And having the driver information in front is such a great feature.

[klew]

No driver display or HUD is deal breaker for me too. Agree with Kristian!

[adamrosser]

I have a Polestar 2 and the absolute best thing about it is the maps display in front of the driver.

[bulbaur]

Totally agree holding back from ordering due to lack of hud hopefully Volvo will see sense

[garykelly]

Thanks for review Kristina, agree 100%, no HUD is a deal breaker plus a curtain needed here in Australia, especially during our summer period. Funny the Polestar 2 has a brilliant HUD, not sure why this wasn’t carried over to the EX30.

[Matt-lign]

Agree with the lack of an instrument cluster. If I had to budget the last dollar between the eye sensor or a simple speedometer, I would have gone with the speedometer.

[zeitgeist]

100% agree. HUD or display in front of driver for speed, signal and/or warning lights and state of charger or distance of range left. Very basic and a small screen is all that is needed. At a minimum have a means to plug in a display to OBD diagnostic port for those features on an aftermarket screen.

[SimonneJenkins]

Was seriously considering this car, until I found out there is no driver instrumentation. Also agree about curtain, for Australia we will need it

[rLgxTbQ]

I'm just imagining Kristian has been locked in that room with the car for 4 days

[christademarest]

I was so excited about the EX30, thinking it would be my way of entering the electric vehicle market. However, the center display is a deal breaker for me. I will continue to drive my 2022 XC60 and enjoy its heads-up display and other features that help me keep my eyes on the road.

[JT-hdwo]

Agree with you. Without the heads-up display is a safety issue for me. Yes, I would like to see a glass roof with covers. Thank you for your videos.

[steverichard]

100% agree, no HUD I'm out. If there's a HUD, I'm 100% buying this.

[HeartBrokenBiker]

I'm glad someone said it. EX30 looks good, but promo ad video tried too hard to convince people by saying "we have less in this car, because that's what reduces footprint".
Having to look away from your wheel center to the screen on left only increases reaction time & is distracting.
They should have done a HUD.
The other thing I don't like is missing Air vents for rear seat row.

[Mariobrownio]

Totally agree with you. If this doesn't come with a top to cover the glass, it is a bad design decision by Volvo

[gsarantes]

I only agree with one of the three things, which is the driver display.

Definitely a dealbreaker for me.
Other than that, the car is excellent

[chet]

Agree. Displays should at least b an option. Then cost would be covered and drivers could get their preferred option.

[thorsev]

According to Tom from Insideevs HUD wasn’t possible because of the soundbar. Big mistake IMO, and I say this as Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owner.

I can live with it in my home country but when I rented a Model 3 in Germany earlier this year I had massive problems navigating while keeping an eye on the road.

I also had the smart #1 over a weekend and it had a nice, unintrusive, implementation.

[tomk]

I totally agree! I was excited when I first learned about the EX30 right up until I saw the lack of a driver's display...deal breaker for me too.

[justtherecord]

1. Tight rear legroom.
2. No sunshade
3. No drivers screen or hud
4. Hate the recycled materials and sustainable BS. Give me real leather
5. Water down features compared with sisters cars smart #1 and Zeekr X
