The EX30 is extremely minimalistic and feels quite spacious - the kind of space that, if you'd gone from a relatively standard petrol-powered car to this, would have you somewhat confused. There's a distinct lack of buttons but most of the other surfaces you’ll touch are quite nice.

Standard kit for the EX30 is impressive, with ambient lighting, a Harman Kardon audio system, dual-zone climate , a power tailgate, 19-inch alloys and a 12.3-inch central touchscreen for multimedia.

Ultra variants get extras like electrically-adjustable heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and 20-inch alloys.

The EX30 Single Motor has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 5.3 seconds while the Twin Motor Performance boasts a blistering 3.6sec sprint. Both are limited to a 180km/h top speed.

The EX30 Single-Motor Extended Range is powered by a rear motor, with 200kW/343Nm. Stepping up to the Twin Motor Performance adds a motor to the front, with total outputs of 315kW/543Nm.

The Volvo EX30's seats are a standard configuration of two front seats and a bench seat for three at the rear.

Space is ample in the front thanks to adjustable seats, acceptable on the rear outboard seats but a bit too cosy in the centre.

Single-motor EX30s have a claimed range of up to 480km under WLTP testing, while more performance-bent twin-motor versions drop slightly to 460km.
