Volvo EX30 review: F@ck Scandinavian minimalism

The EX30 is the Volvo's smallest car and it's entry-level EV. It offers strong performance, its well-built, looks nice and price-wise undercuts most of its rivals. A great all-round package I hear you say? Well, yes, if it wasn't for the fact they took a leaf out of Tesla's book. There is no driver's instrument panel, very few switches and everything is controlled through the infotainment setup - which isn't even particularly user-friendly.

WARNING: Video contains embarrassing photos of my younger teenage self!

What's good?
Entry trim level single motor version offers real value for money
Looks great
Quick

What's bad?
Everything is controlled through the touchscreen
Below average range
Unsettling on bumpy roads
