Volvo EX30 reveal livestream - Introducing a not-so-big, big deal

[@adyar78]

This is one of the best presentation concept for a Car Reveal. Great work by Media team and of-course great car by VOLVO.

[@dmreid9620]

amazing car aside, it’s crazy for me hearing Jim. As someone who’s also from Glasgow it’s great to hear one of us in his situation. I’ve probably been to the same pubs as him!

[@Ihorusa]

Volvo, please adopt NACS port for USA before shipping. Thx

[@dalesails]

I am on reserve order. I second the above statement.

[@katiecannon8186]

This is my favorite ev so far. And, yes, small is better. I’m so tired of giant SUVs. What a waste of resources. Also, the filing of this is pretty darn brilliant.

[@VolvoCars]

That's great to hear, Katie! What is your favourite thing about the Volvo EX30? 🥰

[@jeremjerem]

Really...i think it's maybee your most important model right now. I'm not totally into electric but at that Price, quality and performance...i see no competition. Bravo Volvo, the EX30 will be my first ever Volvo and first ever EV Small steps, Big change !😊

[@VolvoCars]

So happy to hear you are joining Volvo family, we are sure you will love our new EX30. -Millie

[@katiecannon8186]

I’ve been wanting an ev, but wanted something small. So this will be my first ev too !!!

[@grahamharrison1323]

Have a Volvo V60 at the moment, but ex30 is going to be my next car. Looks great, stylish, good price. I rarely travel more than 50 miles in a day, so the smaller battery and home charging ideal for me I reckon this car will be Volvos biggest ever seller

[@VolvoCars]

Thanks for your support and staying loyal to the Volvo brand. /Anthony

[@richardhorton-bradley4890]

Ordered the single motor version. looking forward to seeing the demonstrator in the flesh at the dealers

[@loriallen67]

This is my dream car. And, if you stick to the under $40k price, I might actually afford it.

[@loriallen67]

And yes, I’ve wanted all the safety ADASS and decent features in a SMALL package. Thank you. 200miles range in cold weather and 125K or better charging. And now I’d like the NACS connector rather than CCS.

[@teddysdadcory]

I think Volvo will stick with their announced price. It’s not like they’re Tesla…

[@VolvoCars]

The price for the EX30 in Europe is roughly €36,600- €52,100 depending on the chosen specification level and propulsion system. In the US, prices will start at $34,950. Prices may vary in different markets. -Millie

[@anonymouspdg6121]

I love the looks and size of the EX30. It's certainly on my list as an option when my XC40 recharge comes up for renewal. However, having watched a few reviews, it seems a common concern is the lack of one pedal driving. The XC40 has true one pedal driving that will bring you to a complete stop but all the reviews were disappointed that the EX30 will not do that and isn't true one pedal driving. Not sure if anyone from Volvo looks at these comments but please, please, can an over the air update be done to at least give customers the option to select true one pedal driving if they want it? Once tried, I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want to use it?

[@dalesails]

I drive the MINI SE now and love the one pedal driving. I hope the EX30 can duplicate the Mini before they ship them.

[@diverseeko]

I hope the wheels on the presentation car are an option!?

[@garykelly7588]

Is a Heads Up Display an option please? Not a fan of looking sideways to check speeds and maps. Your Polestar 2 has the best HUD that I have used. Cheers

[@JulienGrossholtz]

Looks like the best EV on the market... and without the toxic CEO.... ;-) Now a few question : do you provide warranty for the battery ? Could you provide us the details of the 30 Co2 tons calculation ? I mean It depends a lot depending where you live and how electricity is produced.;

[@irisolteanu6340]

Hi Julien, this was one of my biggest concerns as well, but if you look at the page Volvo created for this model, it actually states that they offer 8years warranty on the battery (exclusive of normal wear and tear capacity loss over time). I made an enquiry for 1 and asked what the projected capacity loss is likely to be.

[@fauzyfatturahman736]

Amazing CEO

[@GerardBendotti]

[@petequigley9844]

Just need a tiny speedometer above the wheel and a finely tuned control knob for HVAC next to the window switches. Incredible design.

And normal 4 button window controls with normal mirror adjustment, not through the screen. Glad it has at least mechanical steering wheel adjustment..

As awesome as this is, I'm actually more impressed by how you managed to shrink yourself so effortlessly. 😮 Jokes aside, great presentation and lovely SUV. I'm shocked by the price. Never thought Volvo, traditionally a luxury brand, would be so quick to launch a (relatively) affordable EV. But I'm glad. Keep going, this is exciting. :-)

@@VolvoCars Absolutely!

[@johnmansfield3317]

Great launch video, great car if only it had a HUD. That would utterly transform driver convenience and safety and mitigate the negatives of a central touch screen (there are absolutely positives and I agree this is right approach to cut costs and design a minimalist interior). Please Volvo find a way to fit a HUD. They are internet rumours that the sound bar location prohibits a HUD. If that’s the case, it’s needs to be rethought. A HUD is essential if you have no driver display.

[@VolvoCars]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! When looking off-road - no matter what you’re looking at - you are distracted, and the car will need to assist you if something happens. We believe the best way to avoid accidents caused by driver distraction is a combination of our active safety systems and well-designed digital and physical UX. The Volvo EX30 has key driving information displayed prominently at the top of the tall centre display screen, in the eye line of the driver. We are confident in this setup for a small, fully electric SUV. Why don't you book yourself in for a test drive once it's available and see how you feel, we're sure you'll love it. -Irene

[@johnmansfield3317]

@@VolvoCars Thanks for taking the time to reply. The feedback on this car is universal. Please check out car forums and other reviews. I would happily pay a premium for a HUD. Just add £2k or whatever to the price to cover the cost of a HUD. Can’t you introduce this as an option? Maybe ultra+ spec? I don’t want to look away just to check my speed. I want it directly in front of me. You have designed a stunning car but with no display in front of the driver you will lose a ton of sales. You’ve taken the very worst thing Tesla do and copied it.

[@katiecannon8186]

@@VolvoCars Even just a little screen that displays speed would be fine. It doesn’t have to be a HUD. And it doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be easy to see.

[@derrekb4501]

yeah your problem is you won't have these in mass at the dealership, it will e 2 to 3 at the dealer in a year, with additional dealer mark up of $5000. Vast majority who step in will go to Telsa end up with model 3 or Y... Key is can you make enough so dealer do not gauge the consumer. It's one thing you can make a vehicle that looks great and has a decent spec sheet, it's another to actually to deliver, it's whole another thing to compete. When i step in a Volvo dealer, I don't see enough of the compact SUV like the xc40, I see a ton of $55K to 65K of XC60 and expensive xc90 both are out dated....

[@VolvoCars]

Our experience, backed up by a combination of research, data and expert knowledge, shows that driver distraction is more impacted by poor user interfaces than by the number or location of screens. Our internal research also shows that fewer screens can result in faster response times, and fewer missed cues. In the EX30, the screen has a high position with the driver information placed at the top, allowing the driver to glance at it more easily compared to a traditional setup - their eyes don’t need to move too far from the road. -Millie

[@DiveSabbath]

@@VolvoCars I didn't mean more or fewer screens in the car. I ment instruments, dashboard, pointers, buttons. Is that all forgotten? Unnessesary? All has been replaced by screen? I'm sure that driver will look at the screen but not the road, trying to find smth on the screen !

[@Tomm9y]

Interesting car, it has a lot going for it. The problem is the access and afforability of electricity. We can't produce enough for existing demand, the network infrastucture alone to power more EV's will cost billions. Meanwhile, super efficent Petrol & Diesel engines are more efficient and Toyota develops Hydrogen and new technologies. Volvo is making a big mistake abandoning them and letting governments dictate the 2030 deadline, etc. People in millions of homes cannot plug in at home or work and don't 'stop for 25-30 minutes to recharge at peak times. The nature of battery use and range anxiety is that people in the real world only charge from 20% to 80% at most, even in a diesel car I get anxious at over 100 miles or 25% of range. The interior looks okay, but why no leather, I don't want cloth or plastics, leather breaks down back into the ground, plastics don't. Given the state of UK roads particularly rural roads, hard suspension and low profile tyres are inappropriate & uncomfortable, get broken more quickly (try hitting a pothole with low profile tyres). All the talk of ariflow around the fancy front bumpers is marketing, I want bumpets that take bumps and don't £900 to replace as cush new Volvo ones do. Another vital question is how long will the parts for the EX30 be available for? That is a crucial issue in the energy use, extending the life of cars is vital to reducing energy, minerals, metals, water, etc. Currently Volvo don't hold parts for cars 10 years beyond the end of the sale of each model. That means some parts are simply not available once your reaches say 15 years old, and the parts which are available can take weeks to reach you. That's before the many questions about battery life and replacement.
