Volvo EX30 Interior

The interior of the Volvo EX30 range across its three variants includes hard plastic, soft-touch surfaces and a denim-like material or “tailored wool blend” seat upholstery. 

In terms of space, as befitting a compact SUV, there’s not a lot of it.

The glove box is small, there’s no centre console, and the door pockets are narrow and shallow.

The second row is squeezy and there are few amenities: no fold-down arm-rest with cup-holders, no directional air vents and the panoramic glass roof in top-spec variants doesn’t have a sliding cover.

Volvo EX30 Colours

Exterior paint options include Cloud Blue, Crystal White, Onyx Black, Vapour Grey and Sand Dune.
