volvo has always had its own style and pursuit. even in the new energy era, they have not blindly followed the trend. as a brand-new pure electric small suv under the brand, volvo ex30 has a unique design style. avant-garde and individuality are its most prominent product labels. there is no doubt that this is a "little guy" who has not chosen to cater to the mainstream market, and that unique cynical attitude does require consumers who have enough recognition to pay for it. so, for such a small suv that is unwilling to be mediocre, how does it perform in terms of practicality? this issue of "daily practicality test report" provides you with the answers.

test vehicle: 2025 volvo ex30 dual-motor four-wheel drive high-performance version ultra

official guide price: 255,800 yuan

1. functional configuration testing link

the driver's seat of the evaluation car is equipped with a keyless entry function. the driver brings the smart key close to the vehicle and holds the door handle, and the vehicle will automatically unlock. when locking the car, he only needs to touch the sensing area in the recess of the door handle. in the actual test, using this method to unlock and lock not only the process is laggy, but the response speed is also slow and the experience is poor. in addition, the driver can also quickly complete the unlocking and locking operations by attaching the smart key to the sensing area on the b-pillar, and the smoothness will be significantly improved. however, large scratches have appeared in the b-pillar sensing area of ​​the review car, which shows that there is still room for optimization in this part of the design.

the trunk supports two opening methods: virtual buttons on the central control screen and buttons outside the car, and the convenience of use is quite satisfactory.

the switch to open the hood is located on the lower left side of the front of the driver's seat. to open it, you need to pull the switch in the car twice, and then lift the hood. during operation, since the cabin cover is supported by hydraulic rods on both sides, the stability is good and the switch operation is very labor-saving.

for consumers, the height of the door sill from the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle to a certain extent. according to the actual measurement results, the door sill height of the evaluation car is 420mm from the ground, which makes it more convenient for drivers and passengers to get in and out of the car on a daily basis.

2. comfort configuration test link

in terms of seats, the front seat adjustment buttons of the review car are located on the side. the adjustment buttons are in a reasonable position and are relatively convenient to operate. at the same time, the evaluation car's steering wheel and front seats are also equipped with optional heating functions, which can be adjusted in three levels. it should be noted that as the review car is a top-end version, such basic comfort configurations still need to be optional. considering the product positioning and price, the performance is not satisfactory.

in the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and end of the driver's seat of the 2025 volvo ex30 was 250mm, which was in the middle and upper reaches of the tested models of the same level, and the seat's adjustable travel was quite considerable.

the multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down + front and rear adjustments. the up and down adjustable angle is 8°, and the front and rear adjustable distance is 50mm. the data level is in the middle of the same level, and the overall performance is remarkable.

the rear seats of the 2025 volvo ex30 provide three headrests, all of which support up and down adjustment. although the size is smaller, the comfort of the middle headrest is not much different from that of the headrests on both sides.

although the front center armrest is not large, it feels good to touch thanks to the soft material wrapping. in a normal driving sitting position, the driver's elbows can rest on it. however, since the armrest box does not support front-to-back or up-and-down angle adjustment, it cannot actively adapt to the driver's sitting posture, and there is still room for optimization.

3. multimedia configuration test link

in terms of usb interfaces in the car, the evaluation car is equipped with 2 usb type-c interfaces in the front and rear rows. the number is considerable, but the type is relatively single. at the same time, the entire car is also equipped with a 12v power supply. in addition, we tested the voltage and current of the usb interface. overall, the voltage and current of the front/rear usb type-c interface can basically reach 5v and 1a.

as smart cars become more and more popular nowadays, more and more models are equipped with smart voice assistants. for the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed phrases to evaluate the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of speech recognition rate, response speed, and controllable functions.

1. i’m a little cold/i’m a little hot

2. open the car window/open the main driving window/open the sunroof

3. i want to listen to "xxxx" (song name)

4. i’m going to beijing edition building

after actual testing, the evaluation vehicle was able to recognize all instructions, the voice recognition was accurate, and the response speed was fast. in addition, the evaluation car also supports continuous voice recognition and visible and speaking, which is very convenient for daily use. unfortunately, voice area wake-up recognition only supports a single area and has not reached the current mainstream level in the industry.

the evaluation car is equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging pad in the storage slot under the center console. the location is designed to be reasonable and convenient to take and place. unfortunately, the wireless charging pad does not have a switch function and is not equipped with an active cooling system.

4. space configuration test link

as a space test that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "test drive 2025 volvo ex30, the choice for urban exquisite life", we have experienced its riding space, and this time we will experience the same experience in daily life. more storage space and convenience are evaluated.

for the test of the space used in the car, it only focuses on the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle's storage space based on the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 bottles of regular-sized mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella, and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

after actual testing, except that there is no exclusive glasses case, all other items can be properly placed in the front storage slot. although it is only positioned as a small suv, it has to be said that the 2025 volvo ex30 does a very good job in space utilization.

as for the trunk, the internal space is relatively regular and can meet the needs of daily use. in addition, the rear seats also support folding down to further expand the trunk volume.

regarding the basic values ​​of the 2025 volvo ex30 trunk, we have also conducted actual measurements. the opening length is 720mm; the opening width is 1000mm; the trunk depth is 710mm; and the vertical height between the trunk floor and the top is 610mm. since these four test data are lower than the average of the tested models of the same level, the performance is not good.

5. security configuration testing link

in the front and rear vision test of the vehicle, all seats in the vehicle were adjusted to their lowest position. the measured data has some deviations from the driver's normal use and is for reference only.

in testing the forward visibility, we used a 70cm-high pile barrel as a reference object, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the upper edge of the pile barrel could be seen from the main driver's seat. after testing, the final measured data of the pile barrel and the front of the car was 1.6m, which was at the upper level among the tested models of the same level.

during the rear view test, the pile bucket was still placed fixedly, and then the vehicle was moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be observed. after actual measurement, the measured distance of the rear field of view is 9.3m, which is at the upper level among tested models of the same level.

when testing the field of view of the exterior rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10m vertically from the left and right rearview mirrors, and then start moving to the left and right sides until they appear at the outermost edges of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure their lateral distance . then through formula calculation, the angle of view of the rearview mirror can be obtained. the larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror's field of view, and conversely, the larger the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror's field of view.

the left exterior rearview mirror of the 2025 volvo ex30 uses a double-curvature lens, and the right side has a normal lens. after actual measurement, the field of view of the left and right exterior rearview mirrors are 30.1° and 20.8° respectively. the data level is at the upper level of the same level, and the overall performance is remarkable.

during the test, the reversing radar could sense rear objects at 1.48m, and the radar power performance was acceptable. based on past test experience, the closer the continuous buzzing stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily usage habits. judging from actual measurement data, the 2025 volvo ex30 reversing radar's continuous beeping prompt distance is slightly different from the test experience value, and drivers need to actively adapt.

the front parking radar can sense objects ahead at a maximum distance of 0.97m. the radar power performance is quite satisfactory. during the continuous beeping stage, the distance is 0.25m, which is consistent with the test experience value.

the evaluation car is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, and the picture clarity and distortion control are relatively good. in addition, the image screen is also equipped with a followable parking assist line, which has excellent practicality. the lower left corner of the screen is the display area of ​​the parking radar. according to the comparison of actual measured data, the distance between the vehicle and obstacles displayed is relatively accurate and can provide a reference for the driver.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turns or u-turns. at this time, the vehicle's steering flexibility becomes very important. understanding the road width required when your car makes a u-turn can help you avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for the evaluation vehicle to make a u-turn is 9.7m, which is at the upper end of the tested models of the same level.

the review car was not equipped with interior handles, and its practicality was not good. handles in the car are necessary for people with limited mobility, and they can also play a certain auxiliary role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads.

6. charging test

in the actual test, the air conditioning temperature in the car was adjusted to 21 degrees celsius, and the driving route passed through urban roads and ring roads. when arriving at the destination, the kilometers displayed on the vehicle's display have increased by 11km, and the cruising range has decreased by 11km. that is, the average cruising range consumed for every 1km traveled is about 1km. although the test mileage is relatively short, it is still very impressive to achieve such results, which also reflects that there is no false standard for battery power.

in addition, we also tested the charging efficiency. after the actual tester used a fast charging pile to charge for 10 minutes (peak power consumption), the power was charged from 86% to 92%, and the cruising range was increased by 18km, which is basically consistent with the time expected by the vehicle computer.

summarize:

it is reported that because the market performance of pure electric models has not met expectations, volvo will suspend its goal of fully electrifying the brand by 2030 and instead develop hybrid vehicles. it can be seen that volvo is still in a state of exploration for its future development. in fact, the volvo ex30 is such a model full of exploration spirit. after all, such a pure electric small suv dares to sell for more than 200,000 yuan. it may not have been planned to be popular from the beginning. even so, the 2025 volvo ex30 still delivers a satisfactory answer in terms of practicality. not only does it have a flamboyant personality, but it can also calmly handle ordinary household scenes.
