Love the idea but hate the interior. This in a time where other vehicles are scaling back the amount of screens and touch nonsense and coming back to regular tactile buttons and knobs for common functions.

I've driven the 300kw XC40 and thought it would be incredibly easy to lose my licence if I owned one as a daily driver. This thing looks even lighter.


EX30 weighs 1800kg compared to XC40's 2200kg (full electric version). Still a hefty car compared to a gasoline burning compact.

The idea of limiting the touch stuff was probably introduced too late in the design cycle. Maybe there will be a mid-cycle facelift fixing things in a few years...
