2025 VOLVO EX30 REVIEW - IT'S QUICKER THAN A PORSCHE 911

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volvo EX30 is presented as a surprisingly fun and agile compact electric SUV, challenging expectations with its performance. The reviewer highlights its quick acceleration, particularly the AWD version, and praises its stylish, modern interior with a Google-based infotainment system. Key positives include the car's maneuverability, premium feel, and the availability of optional features like the 360 camera and Harmon Kardon sound system. However, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks, primarily the over-reliance on the touchscreen for essential functions like climate control and mirror adjustments, which can be cumbersome. The steering is also criticized for being too light, even in its stiffest setting. Real-world range in cold weather (4°C) was around 300 km, falling short of the claimed 420 km. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the EX30 offers a sporty, premium experience in a small package, making it a compelling option, especially considering its price point relative to its performance.
