That is me trying to sit in the back seat of my Porsche Macan S.

I assume you have the same situation with any other compact car. This has nothing to do with the EX30. I have sufficient space in the front and in the rear.

I have a 2005 XC 90- Around 165 ,000 miles on odometer. Suggestion from me - to save on Labor Costs - (what I did to save $) I wanted to change ALL the heater hoses. So I decided to change the serpentine belt - and the thermo stat housing at the same time. About the same amount of work hours So I decided to change all those parts Hope this is of value Jon

Funny... Stay safe, Tim

My 2013 BMW X3, I can count on one hand the number of times we had someone in the back seat. No an issues for us.

I will keep my reservation but will be looking very closely at the Kia EV3 as an alternative.

Perfect soundtrack ☺️👍😆👍

Polestar software is not available for Volvo XC60 Recharge T6 (398 HP).

I do not know what is the condition of the backseat. Is the space Ok for adult?

Make sure you are using the latest firmware update 1.4 for the review

Recall performed on this car?

Looking forward to the MY 2025 reviews.

Geproduceerd in China wat jammer voor dit mooie merk.

The more people drop out, the higher on the list I get. Could be one of the first people to get one next year.

How many PST technicians are in this channnel!??? hit the "LIKE" !!!!!!

When oh when will we get a down to earth review for us mere mortals ?? When you have two cars to chose from how the hell can you help me ???? I am skint or in U.S.A. terms NO MONIES I need someone at my level to talk me through should I get one or should I not ??????????? Even thinking of doing my own up load !!!!!!!!!!!!! Fed up with these so called reviews !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the video, meanwhile no-one I've seen so far says that electricity must be paid, neither do a proper calculation based on combined electricity/fuel expenses. I owned modern x3 with 2.0d, latest Audi's 3.0tdi, Tesla 3 and throughout latest years the price of electricity has risen vastly, which evidentially makes the cost of ownership not that obvious at all. Especially if the efficiency comparison based on speeds around 100km/h, whereas latest German diesels make 4.5-5.7 l/100km in the same conditions ...

I bought a used, 2018 xc40 r design. Issue remain unresolved- they replaced propshaft etc, tires were blamed, seat vibration also. Feeling really frustrated and extremely disappointed

I got one, car makes tons of different noises, chassis sounds like clanks... is that normal?

having driven mine for a month the latest update 1.4 has made a difference. first thing i do before every journey is to sign in to audible again (needs done EVERY journey) and switch off the two nag options now handily placed at the bottom right of the main settings. the wheel buttons defo need the new covers. I don't find anything else particularly upsetting except I'd like the passenger mirror to be able to dip when I put the car in reverse.

sure made me want to obrain credentials to visit the headquarters.

My wait for my EX30 in Maryland USA ended in anticipation of the announcement of the Biden 100% tariff announcement. I pulled the plug (so to speak) in mid May, when I began to anticipate that Volvo would either move production to Gent, causing a significant delay, or the price would jump up making the EX30 uncompetitive. That fear also caused me to be concerned that the XC40 electric market would dry up, making used XC40's too expensive for my budget. So I jumped to buy a beautiful 2023 XC40 electric demo car from a dealership in Western Maryland. Despite the older tech and shorter range I am delighted! The price was close to what an EX30 with with all I wanted on it would have cost me, and as it turns out I was deluding myself that the smaller 30 was big enough for my needs. This is my 6th Volvo in my 60+ years and I could not be happier with this car... (well, the range of the ’23 versus the price of the '24 was a compromise that I'm ok with on most days)

Glad I canceled my order last winter....I was a day one reservation holder....but I had a feeling this was going to happen here in US. Thanks for the detailed explanation for everyone as to the multiple reasons why for the delay. I know this will upset a lot of US reservation holders but It would be silly to pay extra (Tariff) for a entry-level Volvo....

No road noise? I don’t hear anything, was it edited!

Cancelled my EX30 before message came out. I already have an XC40 Recharge so wouldn't have taken Volvo up on their offer anyway. I wanted a RWD sedan / hatchback and after checking out Polestar 2 RWD, Kia EV6 and BMW i4 eDrive40, I went with the BMW - got a dealer loaner with ~8000 miles that sold with a used car price but got tax credit since I leased it (will buy out lease ASAP to avoid paying interest to BMW).

I reserved one in June 2023 to replace my 2009 XC90 or maybe my son’s 2009 C30. I think I will keep my cars for a while, though I am watching what is improving quickly….seems to be the Rivian offerings!

Volvo has been a Chinese company since 2010. Purchasing a Volvo supports the Chinese Communist Party, a sworn enemy of the US and Western nations.

LOL. I knew it. My C40 lease is up April 2025, hopefully Volvo will get it together and have either EX30 or the EX90 ready. Otherwise, I am looking at the Polestar 3 (which hopefully will be US tariff friendly) or the Porsche Macan EV as replacement.

Let’s be honest. It’s gonna be late. Why can’t these companies get it together for the US market? Seems like the VW ID Buzz is also unlikely this year

With the last update to 1.4 the EX30 is a great ride, probably the avalability of the EX30 is a problem, the sales in Holland are very good.

Get a Tesla people why bother? Car sounds like a 10 year corolla on the highway...

Going to wait another 6 months, then may go with a model 3.

Feeling sorry for our US friends, we have ours for 2 months now and after a few minor software hiccups now solved we are super happy with the car [our first full EV, we had a plugin hybrid before) its cute, practical, fun and super quality as a car, its a volvo..

I find it funny that polestar are just eating the tarifffs but Volvo won’t? My polestar 3 is now saying august eta / pick up. I’m going for my test drive Monday 10am. I should be the first in canada according to what I’m hearing (or one of the first 5)

Any news on the EX30 in Canada?

I placed a reservation on the EX30 back in December '23 here in Ohio, USA. I was thinking they would be available shortly after the first of the year. Given my rapidly depreciating '22 Bolt EUV trade-in value this plan would have worked well. Six months later... not so much!!! So, with the writing on the wall, I asked for my $500 refund two weeks before the end actually came. Back in December, I also spoke to Polestar Columbus. Now six months later Polestar's incentives of $10,000 off plus $299 a month for a 27-month Lease were simply too good to pass up! While the wait probably cost me a bit in the Bolt's value in the end my new Snow, Polestar 2, AWD Plus, Pilot, with 19" wheels is a much better, bigger, Software fully baked gorgeous EV and I think a Win in the end!!

thank you so much Thom. Appreciate the insider information as always. I am awaiting the chance to get a 2025 EX40 in Canada. Announcement of pricing is still delayed. I wonder if it’s related to this issue or perhaps just EV market pricing uncertainty. Andrew

Are you sure that the recall thing was a security issue? Probably was about issues with OTA upgrade to version 1.3. and finally not to everyone. Some people(some not) could update OTA way and didn't go to service. Maybe it hides a security issue, but not confirmed I think.

I hate the screens for controlling things, fit standard videos! Leather seats need to be stamdard.

Do you know when apple carplay will be available in the ex30?

Hey Tom, hoe krijg je je avatar in de auto. Ik ben wel aangemeld maar hij pakt niet mijn foto over. Hoop dat jij kunt helpen.

I still drive my 2008 XC90, I have never ever failed my yearly inspections since bought. I use full synthetic oil. Love how my car handles 6:45 6:45 and have no intentions on getting rid of it any time soon . Have to date, 155,247k. Thinking of doing a chameleon colored wrap or maybe a matt red . A diffrent interior color., would be interesting but the light badge leather isn't looking too bad considering the age of the car . As for my tires, I went with Pirelli. So far no problems. Oh year need new headlights as the ones I have are pretty foged . All in all ❤my Volvo.

I have been reporting same issue to Volvo and dealer. Dealer never accepted it. VOLVO Ireland simply not accepting it.

Hi thom, which year version is this lynk&co? Is it 2022 or 2023??

Why did you sell XC90? I think you bought it quite recently, didn't you?

Hi Thom, I'm from Vietnam. In Vietnam, LC01 do not have PHEV version, It only have gasoline 1.5T version. Can i ask that LC01 ver Gasoline in Europe is it good quality or it only have PHEV version sir ? Ps: Sorry my english is not good so it may get you confuse.

Remember the C30? I wish Volvo brought it back in an electric version.

Loved this type of video! Looked like lovely weather for that bike ride home.... looking forward to the next vid as always ✌

I hope y'all enjoy this spontaneous, bit chaotic video! Audio wise not the best, vlog 2 will be better! 😊

The Defender advert forgot the recovery breakdown service !
