I’m a bit conflicted here. As a very happy Volvo driver I recently test-drove the (all-electric) XC40 Recharge and could have a look at the current EX30. The XC40 was very nice to drive, but both cars had a distinctly unfinished feel to it - some features felt like last-minute additions they didn’t think quite through, and some advertised features such as Android Auto or 150kW fast charging didn’t work at all. When asked for an estimate for full functionality, the sales person basically told me “your guess is as good as mine”. Overall my 2011 V60 feels way more solid and polished and has some configuration options that newer Volvos apparently don’t have at all.
With the EX30 sorta-kinda being the ‘value’ car of the Volvo Recharge line, I fear there’s an even greater risk of disappointment for many buyers. And I wouldn’t want to pay that kind of money to effectively participate in a huge beta test.
