Polestar and Volvo could step away from traditional gas car design language. For this car you have a pointless for function long hood. You suffer inside because of that misplaced priority with the unnecessary limitation of back seat legroom and less wheelbase. An MG4 is the car to compare for current design of an ev. Good rear legroom. It's got a 2705mm wheelbase vs. 2650mm for this Volvo. 2 inches right there. 4287mm length vs. 4233mm for the EX30. The difference shows in the back door dimension.

Terrible vehicles...also nothing but middle screen. not backup tire !
Test drive other brand EVs, all feels are much better, more controls with backup tire at least
Values in Freedom Units (inches)
If Volvo uses CCS, and doesn't immediately switch this model to NACS like Tesla, GM, and Ford. Then this car is a hard pass for North America.
tesla , gm , ford electric
they use tesla charger that available everywhere.

I would totally pay $35k for the Zeekr dual motor instead of $42k for the Volvo EX30 dual motor but I think the Volvo premium is for its exterior and interior design and infotainment/safety features. Chinese infotainment systems still look dated. Same architecture as the Lotus Eletre (900HP). Yes, Geely bought Lotus in 2017.

Zeekr was founded by Geely in 2021. The SEA platform was designed by Zeekr Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden, also home of Volvo. Development was under Geely's president of global design, formerly with Bentley, Audi and Daimler.
Smart 1 is a venture between Mercedes-Geely and first rolled out of the factory in China in June 2022. It will not be sold in the United States.
The Zeeker X and Volvo EX30 will be sold in the US and are being built in China. The first Zeekr X vehicle rolled off the assembly line just 4 days ago. The Volvo EX30 will release in early 2024.
The Smart 1 and Zeekr X are called compact crossovers. Unclear why the Volvo EX30 is called an SUV in this thread. The interior and exterior of the three cars were designed separately and don't look much alike beyond size and crossover shape.

A Model 3 SR is the best bang for your money if you qualify for the full EV rebate.
I've been driving a 2018 LR RWD Model 3 for nearly 5 years now. The cars run fine, a 2023 SR is almost on parity with a 2018 LR RWD minus the 1 sec difference from 0-60, 32A vs 48A charging /170kwh Supercharging, and premium connectivity.
Only major repair I had out of warranty is the PTC Heater. Even then I don't have to worry about getting ripped off at a dealer or mechanic compared to past cars I've owned.
If I were in the market for a new car in the 30-40k range, Model 3 SR hands down. The only maintenance I have been doing is yearly air filter change which is $14 on Amazon for a set of air filters. Optional condenser cleaner which is another $15 for a can.
