Lead Reviewer Verdict James Matthews (Vehicle Specialist)
“The EX30 feels remarkably spacious from the driver’s seat because Volvo eliminated the traditional dashboard speakers and door switches, relocating audio into a single front soundbar and window switches to the center console. However, rear seat legroom (32.3 inches) is tight for adults over 6 feet. If you frequently carry teenagers or tall colleagues, the XC40 Recharge offers significantly more rear knee clearance.”
