It’s a large center-mounted touchscreen that shows speed and other vital information in addition to infotainment and climate controls. Like the Tesla Model 3, the EX30 only has a single display. Yellow lighting isn’t just reminiscent of sunlight-it’s the glow of a Swedish midsummer evening. Different lighting themes are designed to mimic colors found in nature, but with a Swedish twist. It’s appropriately minimalist, but jazzed up by interesting textures and color choices. Volvo says the EX30’s five-seater interior is largely built around recycled and natural materials, including wool and flax, and reconstituted plastics and denim. They’re all intentionally hidden inside of a black trim band that spans the front of the vehicle. Unlike many newer vehicles that poorly conceal their radar and other safety sensors behind noticeable plastic shields, the designers of the EX30 took those sensors into account from the very beginning. An optional Cross Country trim will have a slightly higher ride, 18- or 19-inch wheels, black trim, and an optional roof rack. There’s a thick rear pillar, and the front is slanted downward like the Volkswagen ID.4. We think it carries through design cues from the upcoming EX90 three-row SUV and also sprinkles in a little bit of influence from Polestar, the all-electric brand that shares the same corporate owner as Volvo-Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.Īnimated front headlights and prominent rear lighting will make the EX30 recognizable day and night. The SUV’s designers say the EX30 was inspired by helmets worn in sci-fi movies. However, it’s two feet shorter than the upcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV, which should cost about the same as the EX30 and be eligible for a federal tax credit. The EX30 is about the same size as the similarly priced Hyundai Kona Electric and a little shorter than the Kia Niro EV.
