THE FASTEST VOLVO EVER MADE | 2025 VOLVO EX30 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volvo EX30 marks Volvo's ambitious entry into the subcompact electric crossover segment, but ultimately falls short of expectations. While it boasts impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds thanks to its dual-motor AWD system, and offers a serene, quiet ride, its shortcomings are significant. The real-world range is disappointing, with the tested model showing only 205-210 miles instead of the EPA's 253 miles. Interior usability is hampered by a poorly designed, single central touchscreen that complicates basic functions like climate control and volume, raising safety concerns due to the need to divert attention from the road. Rear seat space and cargo capacity are also notably cramped, making it impractical for families or those needing significant storage. Despite its attractive styling and comfortable front seats, the EX30's limited range, cramped interior, and problematic infotainment system lead to a non-recommendation, with competitors offering better overall packages.
