    $45k for an extremely ugly and cramped looking vehicle. Best wishes Volvo!

    Yikes. $46/47k? Absolutely not. False promises.

    Os carros estão loucamente caros

    Volvo has not been competitive for years

    Overpriced garbage

    The sleek design of a handheld vacuum combined with the exhilarating power of… also a handheld vacuum.

      422 horsepower and 0-60mph in just over 3 seconds is comparable to a handheld vacuum?

    Had ours for over a year – absolutely love it. Highest performance in its class, and it’s built really well.

    I simply love it, the form factor and the size of the Volvo EX30 is perfect, I especially love the Cross Country version, hope to be able to get it soon 😉

    I wish we had the single motor $35K model, it would have been so much more appealing

      I was told supposed to come fall 2025 🤷

    I was interested in the ex30 due to its small size and amazing acceleration. However, the lack of physical buttons, no driver instrument cluster, and sensors that watch your eyes and beep at you the moment you take your eyes off the road were deal breakers. I wound up getting a CPO ’24 C40 Recharge and I’m very happy with it.

    Rear driver side charger connector? I’m out, my garage level 2 won’t reach that (and “extension cables” on 50amps is at your own risk, but it certainly won’t be at my risk).

    Awesome video! But its missing the fun stick and 3rd pedal…..😮

    Most anticipated EV 😂😂🤣🤣

    I like the color but I wish it was even bolder. In the sunlight, it just looks a little faded.

    That interior is a lovely bit of minimalist design, but done right 👍

    Not at that price…

    I’ve been watching CNET since the Brian Cooley days and I just realized we’re all over here, talking cars and growing old together. ❤❤

    250mi range? TRASH. $46k price tag? TRASH. no buttons for nfotainment? TRASH. car is total dogshit and shouldnt even exist!

    That’s one way of getting a Chinese vehicle into the US 😅

    Why are most electric cars so ugly and boxy looking, where are all the coupes, 3 door and hot hatch versions, not everyone wants a granny car or family wagon.

    100% Junk

  22. @im4udevco

    For that price, Volvo can keep it. A lot more options for that price

    No V2L 👎 kias have it. Hyundais have it. Nissan leaf has it. Ford lighting, Chevy Silverado has it.
