The Volvo EX30 Cross Country is all about the "active lifestyle". Subscribe here: youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1 --
With a different high-ride suspension setup, more clearance and more capability, as well as a rugged new look, it's a different prospect to the existing top-spec EX30.
But this new Cross Country AWD model has a big problem. It's too fast.
Literally, you don't NEED your small EV SUV to be this quick. Watch the video and you'll get what I'm on about.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
