      At worst this is a "fine" looking car? Not even close to justifying summary solar-based execution of it's designers. Curious what you'd pick as an example of good design.

          Whilst the financial backing is the same, and some common parts manufacturing, Volvo has an established supply chain, etc. in Australia so parts are usually quick and available… Not sure if you can say the same thing about Geely.

          Can you link me to anything reliable about these superior sodium batteries? And do you know how long until they'll come online? Sounds like it might be worth holding out for.

        • Kontiki on 03/04/2026 - 06:24

          Of course the Atto 1 is great value, but it is the tiniest of cars. I saw one at the dealer last week and it reminded me of the Smart and Fiat 500. Can’t fit more than 4 people in there.

      I wanted to find a second hand xc30 or ex30 or whatever but ended up going EX5.
      Pretty sure it'd be made in the same factory by the same teams. Only thing Volvo has going for it is branding at this point. EX5 has been an amazing family runaround so def happy with it.

    • antman on 01/04/2026 - 10:14

      Ex5 is alot bigger if you need it. Interior is more upmarket, good stereo. But it handles like a waterbed - however for running aroud the burbs, that might be what people prefer!

      • jc123 on 02/04/2026 - 00:42

        MG S5 and GAC Aion V handle much better than Ex5 in the same category. Though they also have their own compromises at that price-point.

      Agreed. Though, perhaps, too feminine for my liking. If people want to see what ugly looks like, check out the new Hyundai Elexio or Kia EV4. How those cars made it past the concept sketch phase is beyond me.

      I think this is the model where you can't charge it past 70% otherwise there is a fire risk.

      I don't think there is a solution to that either.

        • trawg on 01/04/2026 - 15:35
          +3

          Yes

          Moving critical safety info away from the shortest-distance eyeline from the driver and smushing it in with a bunch of other non-safety critical information from the driver seems like a huge compromise on safety, especially if it's being done to save a buck.

          I'll unwind this judgement when we've seen a few years of safety analyses of all these dumb new distracting features like removing physical buttons and door handles

          • Travis Heads Mo on 01/04/2026 - 15:53

            @trawg: The no dashboard design has been around since Tesla model 3 introduced in 2017. None of the model 3s or Ys you see on the road have a traditional dashboard. While I'm not saying it's better or worse, it's also not exactly new. They all keep the speed in the corner as close to the driver as possible and also have other safety features like a audio cue for if you go x amount over the current limit. Maybe there's safety analysis out there around it.

            • Speckled Jim on 02/04/2026 - 13:29

              @Travis Heads Mo: Well actually the Toyota Echo and Yaris also did similar, I believe there was a small speed display directly ahead though?
              The original mini did so too.

              I'm not a fan personally.

            • trawg on 10/04/2026 - 11:27

              @Travis Heads Mo: Yeh, I realise it's not new - I get it in the case of Tesla where they were inventing cars from more or less a blank slate, and were trying to reinvent the market. But it's very surprising to see Volvo - which has always been a safety-first company - do something like this.

              I know there are people studying this but it doesn't look like there has been time for any meaningful data to come out. FWIW my partner was for many years a researcher in the field of visual attention & is generally pretty scathing about things like this which make it harder for people to operate (it's actually the exact kind of thing she would have been researching had she stayed in academia, but unfortunately for this discussion she left to work in industry!).

              I think this is largely a cost-cutting measure and I suspect the safety implications have not yet been felt. But I guess we'll see. Either way I just straight up don't like it personally and won't buy a car that only has a centre-mounted display.

        It's painful.

        They interim solution is to charge battery to 70%. Which is maybe just over 300km.

        But the most annoying thing is Volvos lack of committal to fixing the issue.

    EX30 looks great and would be a very good all-rounder, i was very keen to purchase it when i was EV shopping but that cabin and dash presentation was totally diabolic .. i dunno how Tesla get away with a single centre screen (deal breaker for me personally) but Volvo were especially not going to with it being smaller and less intuitive.

    • skibidigrimacmoggr67 on 01/04/2026 - 21:36

      for what ever it means I saw the sedan version of Volvo irl on the road, and it looked amazing like it came straight out of the Tron movie.
      my friend was driving behind it first so the first thing that made it look so cool was there is no rear window, and that entire part where you normally see glass was a square piece of white just like the rest of the car's metal areas. it kinda connects to the boot and the back of the car in a way that made it look futuristic like a movie car. I mean it really looks great.

      but later was like "what car was this which has no rear window?" and "that's a bit silly" and yeah eventually found it on google was a Volvo EV.

    I don’t think it looks too bad, but having driving a polestar loan car, I feel the interior would feel the same. Minimal but still clunky. Kind of the worst of both worlds. Also the software was abit unintuitive and laggy on the polestar so I feel it would be the same for Volvo. Abit like using android vs iOS.

    • Arch9896 on 01/04/2026 - 10:15

      That looks like the older Polestar 2. Volvo should be using the newer system found in the Polestar 3 and 4 — it runs much more smoothly.

    don't ever buy one of these or any new Volvo with this OS unless a miracle occurs and they hire competent programmers.

    Good car ruined by the worst software in history. So buggy even 2 years after release that the only thing I know works is the the 360 camera. Literally everything else has bugs, keys, indicators, radio, you name it, it doesn't work right.

    • sourmango on 01/04/2026 - 09:53

      Honestly, swap the brand to BMW and I’m in the exact same boat. The car drives like a dream, but the software is a total mess—buggy, slow, and kills the whole vibe. I find myself thinking, "I paid for 'luxury' and they can't even get the UI right?"

      We only went with BMW because the deal was too good to pass up and we were worried about BYD’s service network. Good to know about Volvo, though, since we’re shopping for another EV.

      Anyone have long-term experience with an EV brand that actually has its software sorted?
      I'm hopefully looking for "Apple" level where it just works - brand agnostic - is there such?

    This is the car that has had several recalls due to battery/fire issues and the fix has been "please don't charge above 80%".
