It would also not be wrong to call the EX30 the brand’s youngest “urban” model. We emphasize youth not only on the basis of size and innovation, but also by taking into account the targeted driver profile. With the EX30, Volvo targets a younger and more dynamic driver profile than ever before, with both a low price and an innovative design language. Introduced with three different engine and two different language options, the lowest cost model of the Volvo EX30 has a single engine using LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery technology. For those who need a longer range, the extended-range model, which comes with NMC battery technology containing lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt and also has a single engine, attracts attention. The model, which comes with an NMC battery that offers higher efficiency than the LFP battery option, can offer a range of up to 480 km.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE and SAFETY
When you squint your eyes and try to interpret its silhouette, you can smell the Volvo XC40 and ZEEKR X from the Volvo EX30. The striking feature of the EX30 at first glance compact sizes is happening. Thanks to the even distribution of the center of gravity at the base, a very comfortable and safe driving experience is offered. We experienced this comfort during our test drive in Barcelona, both in the city, on the highway and on winding mountain roads. To summarize the driving experience in three words; It wouldn’t be wrong to say it’s controlled, comfortable and “fun”, with a 0 to 100 km/h speed of just 3.6 seconds.
The safety element, which is the signature of the brand in all Volvo models, also draws attention in the EX30. “Safe Area TechnologyVolvo EX30, offered with ”, thus ensures the protection of both drivers and pedestrians. The new security system in the EX30 gives visual and auditory warnings when the driver and passengers in the vehicle want to open the doors when a pedestrian or cyclist passes by the vehicle. Offered as standard on EX30 modelsDoor OpeningApart from the ” warning feature, vehicles around the EX30 can also be monitored on the main screen.

Volvo EX30 main screen
We are familiar with Volvo models to the vertical format home screen Included in EX30. The interface, developed in collaboration with technology giants such as Google, Apple and Qualcomm, offers a familiar Volvo experience. For the first time in a Volvo model, Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play are built-in. Apple CarPlay wireless It can be used as. Additionally, 5G can be experienced in places where 5G is accessible. On the 12.3 inch touch screen There is more control than ever before. So much so that even the glove compartment located under the main screen can be opened via touch in the car, where physical buttons are kept to a minimum. To open a parenthesis here, although this level of freedom from physical buttons brings simplicity, it does not provide a huge advantage in terms of ease of use. So much so that even the window opening and closing buttons have been reduced to two physical buttons. There are only two buttons to control the front and rear windows, and just like the mirrors, it is necessary to first select the front and rear windows and then open and close the windows. Although it was made to reduce costs and a very attractive design was created; It should also be said that this level of simplification is “too much”. Of course, this is not a situation specific to the Volvo EX30. At least, the so-called simplification that is “imposed” on new generation electric cars of different brands does not look “cheap” in the EX30.
Our eyes searched for a second screen behind the steering wheel, albeit a small one.
Likewise, it is also a disadvantage that only the main screen is included. Speed information, battery status, etc. You have to constantly look at the home screen. Our eyes searched for a second screen, albeit small, behind the steering wheel. In fact, we couldn’t help but think that there had been at least a head-up display… Volvo describes this design concept as “with the principle of centralization in design” offers.

COMFORT and INTERIOR DESIGN
The approach to simplicity used to reduce costs is felt at the ground floor of the EX30. However, as we said before, this simplicity did not bring with it “cheapness”. So overall there is no “cheap” look. On the contrary, the materials used bring an extraordinary appearance. Renewable materials attract attention in the design where Scandinavian style is felt. There is a fresh and spacious atmosphere in the interior, where recycled materials such as plastic bottles, plastic, denim, linen and wool are used. However, the usable space advantage of electric cars is not generously presented in the glove compartments. As we mentioned in the EX30 model, which is offered with four different interior options, the recycled materials are remarkable. Another interior detail that we are not used to is the window that extends along the windshield. Harman Kardon soundbar. The soundbar, presented in the style we are accustomed to using at home, provides an enveloping and premium sound quality. With the use of soundbar, the speakers inside the doors have been abandoned.
