Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance Test Drive POV

[@ClarkyAv]

My favourite bit of the video is the reactions of the people in the back in the rear view mirror 😛

[@philbeetravels5939]

Hi Dan, great review as always. I bought my Peugeot e208 after watching your reviews and now I'm looking at the ex30 ultra twin to replace it. You are always my go-to youtuber for an in depth review. 👍

[@milesyounghamilton]

Interesting points about the one Peddle drive and the suspension. Thanks for the video

[@vincentbestmann3986]

To remove the led flickering switch from 25 to 30 fps or vice versa while filming.

[@TheAmanov]

8:45 camera guy enjoyed that :dDD

[@johnales79]

Excellent real review best so far, thank you. Keen to though see what voice controls do, if for windows operation as well?

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks 🙏 Not sure i didn’t try it to much … they will also improve the system over time with updates… i dont think you can open windows

[@OwenFromOhio]

Great job!

[@ANGIALTECH]

Ma si può installare per il guidatore un monitor da 4 pollici? . non si vede nulla ,, ma i designer ragionano?

[@eajohnson]

Did you have a chance to try voice controls e.g. to control engaging the mirror setting mode, or performance mode, set the climate controls etc? I'm guessing it is capable of this but no reviews seem to mention it one way or another.

[@mrlooneycooney8948]

The reason probably is the fact they have to install/make an account for it to work.

[@KaupoKalda]

Please use different fps while filming, as Volvos screen is flickering, getting headache. tnx.

[@AxelRock]

There seems to be a small issue with the video from 30 to 40 seconds, it freezes on you opening the car. No big deal, but thought I'd mention

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 🙏 i will check now

[@SDADanCars]

I just fix it and will need probably a few hours to skip that part … probably editor mistake 😪

[@haraxA]

One of the best Chinese cars

[@lammiwinks3775]

What’s it like when you accelerate hard without performance mode on?

[@takforce06]

interior is lacking leather and premium materials, but themed well. has received excellent reviews and is a respectable ev.

[@gudadryckful]

Do you know when the car will arrive at dealers for test drives?

[@DAZZMCMXCVIIII]

Nice review but could do with hearing the sound system as that’s a high priority for me…especially as I’ll be coming from a car with Ultra High Fidelity sound. It’s that high a priority I’d rather turn down a car than accept a knaff Hifi. It’s not like you can easily retrofit an EV either…

[@northpole49]

Volvo need to add on option of Head Up Display or small screen in direct line of sight showing speedometer, range etc. The current multi level single screen is too complicated and therefore dangerous to use whilst driving.

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 🙏

[@chags3512]

Too complicated to see the speed at the top of the screen? What? Lol

[@nodidog]

​@@chags3512😂 pretending it's a safety issue too, as if there's any meaningful difference from looking at a traditional gauge cluster

[@hgv1883]

If it was dangerous would volvo do it ??????????

[@gingerd2098]

Nah. Voice controls handle everything. I drive a lot of Teslas and got over the screen thing very fast.

[@christianbettoni81]

Hello, what's minimun speed for activate auto pilot? Can activate adaptive cruise control w/o use auto pilot?

[@SDADanCars]

I think around 10 km/h it can go to a stop also.

[@christianbettoni81]

@@SDADanCars ok thanks, and about cruise control w/o use auto pilot? It's possibile?

[@SDADanCars]

Yes you can deactivate the lane assistand will act like acc

@@SDADanCars ok perfect, thanks 👌🏻

[@CyberThunder1995]

Hallo... Sir tell me please for the wind noise in the cabin... It's good or bad ?

[@MrDoggysmut]

he said at the begining that the sound isolation is verry good

[@JassoLama]

You can change to performance mode just saying Google change performance mode 🙂👍.

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for tip 😁 👍

[@leofoggy]

This setting will remain saved also for the next drive or it will reset back every time?

[@RobbanOberg]

The only cons about it it’s that i personally would have preferred a digital cluster on the steering column as in Polestar

[@SDADanCars]

Yes 👍 that would be great

[@BlackPawGaming]

If you use performance mode on. The one pedal drive is deactivated.

[@excusemenot]

What a bummer...

[@anaconda6147]

Most car videos are about the car journalists face. This is about the car.

[@timwolke]

Why do you need to place the key cars there?? isn't there a keyless entry system for the ultra model???

[@SDADanCars]

Yea you can also connect it to phone and use phone like on Tesla

[@RetroRoberino]

The car seems pretty good. I wish it had a cool digital display tho, like they made them in the 80s. I think it would fit the car very well.

[@SDADanCars]

Yes 👍

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

"like they made them in the 80s"? Those were so 8-Bit. Why not WOPR Mode?

[@j.son.photos]

0:28-0:42 have some technical problem

[@Pgcito]

I feel as a driver I want to see the basic info in front of me, not on the right side of the wheel, which is distracting from the road.

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 👍🙏

[@bhbae1]

So your title of ghis video is incorrect? You drove a single motor,.and said who needs 3.6sec 0-60?

[@SDADanCars]

Look at the video and you will see it is Twin Motor Performance 👍

[@bhbae1]

@@SDADanCars my bad. Did you do 0-60 test? My apology if I missed that.

[@bhbae1]

@@SDADanCars I saw it. It was once initial part of the video. 3.6s for 0-60. 👍

[@CletusDB]

What do you think is a better driving experience the EX30 or MG4 Xpower

[@SDADanCars]

EX30 😁

[@CletusDB]

@SDADanCars Thanks for the reply I'll be waiting for the video to drop to hear your thoughts on the Volvo. Been enjoying your in-depth videos keep it up Let me know if you have any comparison thoughts not covered in the video 😀

[@user_es1]

It's attractive but if Volvo is starting to sell cars with some occupants inside.... not cool at all (you lose back space shh)

[@leofoggy]

I recently test drove its “sister” car the Smart #1, does this have the same lag of regen braking in 1 pedal drive mode? Also is it possible to charge at Tesla AC/DC chargers?

[@SDADanCars]

Yes from what i know in some countries you can charge at Tesla superchargers and I didn’t feel any lag on regen

[@TolgaSAdventures]

Please put the EX30 near by known another car and let us compare the exterior size. How small is the EX30..?

[@SDADanCars]

Yea i will 👍👍

[@TolgaSAdventures]

@@SDADanCars thx in advance

[@chags3512]

It’s about the same size as a golf or Chevy bolt but shaped way better.

[@JassoLama]

Same size as VW T-Roc

[@TolgaSAdventures]

@@JassoLama thank you! T-Roc is a good example to figure out🙏

[@nabeelhamoda6400]

ex30 top spec or tesla y top spec ?

[@ripmax333]

The biggest thing that I don't like is the lack of a HUD.

[@mpenacernadas1]

Cuantos km hace?

[@Header616]

I think the declared 0-100 km/h in 3,6 seconds from Volvo isn't true. I saw few videos on KZbin with several tries and no one was under 4 seconds, most of them was between 4,20 - 4,50 seconds, same as you. Matt Watson was only person who took it under 4 seconds. So probably it is very hard to reach it under 4 seconds in standard conditions, so for me a bit dissapointing.

[@mikejackson3119]

I’ll post mine from the USA where I achieved it in 3.7

[@BlackPawGaming]

depending on the road and the slope they are testing.

[@nitraM321]

there is absolutely no reason to want to go from zero to 100kmh in 3.6 seconds anyway, it looks ridiculous and if you do that you are a jerk

[@jackdckr]

I saw tests with draggy and it actually did 3.6.

[@enriquedb666]

The guy that designed the usability of the car probably doesnt drive....

[@BlackPawGaming]

Why everyone say the opposite. 🤣

Clearly haven’t driven one yet…

Too bad is full of software glitches. bad choice if someone wants to buy it.

[@martinpokmat2252]

I like volvo so much, but this car is horrible!! Where is a classical comfort!! For example the holder of cup!?? The bigger armrest??

[@tommyjakobsen5504]

what is that instrument and door panels made off, that look like something modern in the 70s. with Hessian wallpaper. quite horrible also NO instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. and the steering wheel bottoms is haptic touch bottom just like VW ID serie, and they havn´t learned anything, stupid and very annoying for daliy use. not the most bright car made, just another tesla copy. scrap. deal breaker for me..

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 🙏

[@mrlooneycooney8948]

Really you come in with the failed ID- series 😂 VW can’t touch Volvo in any way, certainly not this EX30…doesn’t even come close to it. VW never been n Volvo leagues, maybe drive one first.. And if you really want to know, it’s by far a Tesla copy, more a Tesla killer with a polestar design.
