Description:
Hello everyone! After two full weeks with the Volvo EX30 Cross Country, it's time for my honest review. What impressed me, what frustrated me, and how does the car cope with winter temperatures, power delivery, battery management, comfort and software?

I go through:
Strong regen & great one-pedal driving
Higher comfort vs. regular EX30
Twin Motor performance: 428 hp… but not always available
Android Automotive with Google Maps & Spotify
Rear space & trunk practicality
Climate options I really like
Annoying things: no cockpit, button layout, steering assist limit
Major issue: battery temperature management in winter
