Thank you for the videos, I sincerely appreciate your honest take. You're a true fan/enthusiast, not a fanboy. You're not affraid to give constructive criticism. That's what sets fans apart from fanboys. A fanboy blindly licks boots. A true fan wants the company to succeed, to grow even better. Hopefully all the dreams come true. Hard work pays off, eventually. 🙂👍 Back to the EX30. I really like the car. I don't like the limited choice of colors; no red, blue or even the classic XC brown. Hopefully the latter will be an option on an EX30 CC. A HUD should be available on Ultra. Maybe if enough people complain, they'll add one to the driver sensor thingy. However, when all is said and done, I truly love the EX30 in spite of its several shortcomings. I just wish I wasn't broke and had a job as a 25 year old man. But that's entirely on me.
Thanks so much for your kind words. Much appreciated. And regarding the EX30. Absolutely agree. Limited options, and also some weird limitations on interior/exterior spec options. Also the packages are a con. Can't just go for panoramic roof for instance. But hey. I still like the little thing 😂
Really good spec- and price comparisons video of the car 👍👍👍 I myself have bought a Volvo EX30 Core Standard Range in the color Vapor Grey, with towbar and tinted windows, and one of the reasons for my choice was that it has an LFP battery. My daily driving needs are approx. 50-100km and a few times 100-200km, but then it's easy and quick to just charge a bit on a DC charger along the way. The price for the car here in Denmark is 288,300 Danish kroner.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it 👌 Yeah there's definitely some advantages with the LFP, and if you don't need that extended range there's no point over charging.. Good price 👍
I am looking forward to your driving impressions in the snow. Is the traction control intrusive, or does it let you get back on the power right away? How does it handle bumps? is it smooth or does it knock you forward and back like most crossovers?
Will probably talk about this in my driving review later in the week. But I'm mighty impressed over the driving dynamics on snow. At least when I have traction.. These friction tires doesn't appreciate ice or slippery snow.. But the traction control does a good job supporting the car.
Apart from the size, how does it compare to your XC40? Anything you find it does better? What annoys you more? How is the interior quality compared to the XC40? Met my first EX30 in the wild on the road today. Same colour as this one. Very much looked like a Volvo but the pixelated Thors hammer gave it away instantly. It looked narrow, and short. Looking forward to the next video
After some days in the EX30 then my XC40 suddenly feels like a luxury SUV 😂 Actually haven't found one thing it does better.. or maybe the proximity sensor on opening the doors. . But everything else are better in XC40. .
@@volvo_kristian I would love that😉I have a question..it seems like the OPD for the EX30 is not very strong..do you think this could be improved by an software update?
@AnnBrittHansen Yeah, can definitely be improved via OTA. It's not that strong now, and just on/off. Personally I never use OPD, but always try them out. This isn't impressive.
I have only seen Zeekr X on UA-cam, but I love the interior in Zeekr X, and looking forward to see testdrive of Zeekr X - I guess it is similar to EX30. I do like the exterior better on EX30, but I think EX30 is to discount in interior and material selection, and the centerscreen is to small - compared til Tesla. EX30 and Zeekr X is the same platform but longer wheelbase on the Zeekr X. I allso like the finess with the electric rear seat in the Zeekr X.
I’m totally agree with you at the price of this car! This is not a family car, and what do you get for that price?😳 Rear wheel drive - Tesla M3 Highland. Top-spec four-wheel drive - almost a Tesla MY longe range. I had the EX 30 as a possibility as my next car. Nice shape, and the range almost the same as my E-tron 55. (The E-tron is too big for a couple in their 60s😉) But after seen the pricing!? I think not! Is it strange that Tesla MY sells almost 10 times more than the next best selling EV in Norway?😳
Yeah. Volvo's EX30 and XC40 are having a tough time competing with the Tesla's.. Personally I can't understand how they can sell so much. . But low price, quick delivery, generous space, charging infrastructure and also great interest rates campaigns.. That's hard to compete with
Regarding the pricing. That's the listprice, you can fix a much low 🙃 The Zeekr X is nice but not the drive and Zeekr, will they be around in some years? They are already lowering the price and how to service/repair etc 2nd value?
Yeah, obviously list.. Not so much discounts actually. Talked to a couple with different business agreements. Very little discounts actually. At least compared to previous Volvo's I've tested the X. Pretty short testdrive, but enjoyed it. Yeah you raise a good question, but Geely are a massive company so I'm not so worried.

@@volvo_kristian so the extra money does give you a better car. Now can we have an EX60 please 😉
@@ojeskog Yeah, isn't that weird 🤣🤣 Pay more, get more
waiting for the longer test drive with the Zeekr X too 🙂
Yeah.. The waiting are slightly annoying 😂 Maybe I need to travel to Stockholm for a extended test.

Yeah, can agree with you there. I prefer the more quiet EX30 exterior, but prefer the more upscale Zeekr interior.

Is the Vapour grey metallic or a «flat» colour ?
It's a metallic color with a solid look 😎 It's just Cloud Blue and Moss Yellow that's the Solid paint options.
Regarding the pricing. That's the listprice, you can fix a much low 🙃
The Zeekr X is nice but not the drive and Zeekr, will they be around in some years? They are already lowering the price and how to service/repair etc 2nd value?

@@Adderrrrr What? Didn't understand that comment? Are we talking about solar suddenly?
do you prefer EX30 o EX40 ?
Easily XC40 😎
