Driving report Volvo EX 30

Volvo sees the future of the car as electric and less than 180 km / h. On the one hand, this makes sense because you can’t drive fast for long with electric cars anyway. On the other hand, the future has not yet begun everywhere, which is why we somewhat regret the voluntary restraint in the case of the powerful EX 30. The compact model introduced last year is the latest addition to the electric fleet and the smallest SUV Volvo has ever built. It is available with a motor on the rear axle with 272 hp (200 kW), which is how the test car was equipped, and as an all-wheel drive with a second motor in front with a system output of 428 hp, which makes it a powerful Volvo more in sprints – with less than four seconds from zero to a hundred. And just one motor does not take more than five seconds. The entry-level variant called Care comes with a small battery with an energy content of 51 kWh, which brings the price down to around 37,000 euros. Level Plus has some additional equipment for 3000 euros better, the test sample with a total battery capacity of 69 kWh costs around 47,000 euros. The Ultra equipment variant or the second engine is available for 3,000 euros more.
