I have one exactly like this and I love the car. I have not had the problems with software as many have. Now running the updated 1.3.1 I highly recommend this car.

[@volvo_kristian]

Yeah, it's a great car.

[@Buzzinga248]

I purchased XC 40 my24 and love 98% of it, I hate the reversing camera, the Birds Eye rounded look not as good as others limits your view of cross traffic, and I worry about children being able to accidentally start the car as it is so easy to start, l think an off button would be great.

[@MartijnV452]

9:28, why would you want to change it from auto to low beam? I mean the lights are on if it’s on auto The setting you are talking about is not high beam. High beam is controlled by the stalk.

[@volvo_kristian]

Maybe I've should explained it more thoroughly. I'm switching to the other light settings because in auto settings to can't "force" on high beam. If the car consider it's to bright outside then you can't activate high beam. Same on all other Volvo's as well. But with other Volvo's you just twist the wheel on the stalk. Here however you have to change on the screen.

[@MartijnV452]

@@volvo_kristian ok thanks for clearing it up, I mean it was already clear that wat used to be easy controlled by in the stalks or steering wheel has now moved to the screen like sensitivity for the rain sensor or follow distance for the cruise control witch isn’t an improvement

[@volvo_kristian]

@@MartijnV452 Yeah. Too much stuff are now placed in sub menus.

You helped with those sales numbers! While I purchased a gorgeous Polestar 2 Snow/Slate Plus AWD Pilot this week, I still love the look of this car. However, zero communications from Volvo, tariff fears, known SW glitches, and the value of my Bolt EUV trade-in plummeting... I had to make a move and was satisfied the P2 was the correct one to make at this time. In 27 months if they are being sold in the USA. are fully baked, and affordable I will consider an EX30 next. You know I've been thinking if Volvo had started their rollout in the USA first... they may well have improved those sales numbers... Hindsight is 20/20 as they say...

[@volvo_kristian]

Totally understandable that you went for the Polestar 2.. However the EX30 are a great car as well, and with time Volvo will hopefully get the software up at the same level.

[@davidrunnalls3039]

Bought the EX30 extended range ultra. Covered 3200 miles since beginning of March (4800km). Now that I have had the update done some issues have been rectified, charging on AC, car not detecting key fob. However I do agree with you about having to go through so many functions to access simple things, trip distance should be shown in the screen all the time, the ability to choose how your consumption is shown, I like miles per kWh it's just easier, my last car had every option for this you could think of. The new nanny state devices, speed limit warnings etc to turn off this and lane keep assist which here in the UK will take you either in the ditch or the path of an on coming car just takes too long every time you start the car. Driver alert is a perfect nuisance bleeping at you when you are negotiating a roundabout has to go off again every time you start. These should be saved to your profile and when you get in you should just have a profile screen pop up, you then press except job done! This should apply to all the settings lights wipers etc etc. I will most likely after the three year contract by another EX30 as other than these irritations I love the car, the way it drives charges just perfect.

[@volvo_kristian]

Would be great if all of this could be stored in a profile. To annoying now. Thanks for your input here. Agree that it's a real pleasure to drive

[@wim040358]

I have been driving Volvo for 40 years, including 2 with Sensus, except for the navigation, this was much better. Now with AAOS, far too much is put on the screen, which does not make it any safer. Now drive an XC60 T6, if you want to change the driving mode, you have to go into the menu where there used to be a beautiful wheel on the center console. Conclusion: the operation has become much worse with AAOS, as is the case in the EX30 but also in my XC60

[@raymondhunt6109]

Just changed from a Volvo V40 to a Mazda3 (great car IMO ) but still interested in Volvos and your channel. My next car may be a Volvo S60 always loved the look of it and here in the UK used S60's are becoming a bargain. Surprised the EX30 doesn't have auto high beam like a lot of cars now, my Mazda has it.

[@volvo_kristian]

I'm a huge fan of the S60. I've actually just purchased one. My second actually. Love both this and previous generation

[@raymondhunt6109]

Yes just seen your video on your new S60 purchase, Im well jealous now!

[@AlexWatson-ys4sn]

Im amazed at the price difference you said its starting from 320,000NOK which is ~23,770GBP. Volvo UK prices for EX30 start at 32,000GBP (430,000NOK). That is s HUGE price difference!

[@MortenB0]

Part of the answer is that there is no VAT on EVs in Norway on the first 500k NOK. With 25% VAT that saves 80k NOK.

[@markk8165]

But when will it be in the USA?

[@rafaels.8812]

When they start making them in Belgium

[@Travellereleven]

Please dont forget to ask about the Cross Country Version :) would they add an additional hud? :) .. or more interesting, will it be steel plate protection underneath? so its “trail proof” ?

[@volvo_kristian]

Volvo are still very quiet regarding the CC. So will probably take a while until we see more of that one

[@evtomofnorway8674]

The Tesla Model Y will crush the sales numbers of the EX30 based on the full year. The fact that Ex30 delivers many in the first few months is based on previous orders and new deliveries first in April and May 😉Norway and the rest of the world. what about, for example, the sales figures so far in the month of June in Norway, Model Y vs Ex30? 😅
