Compare the Volvo EX30 vs Ford Kuga
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are weighing up the Volvo EX30 and the Ford Kuga, your priorities on space and driving manners will likely settle the choice. As the longer car, the Kuga offers far more practicality, giving adults in the back loads of room for their knees and shoulders, alongside a bigger boot and more room with the back seats folded. In contrast, rear kneeroom is tight in the EX30, though the Volvo is more powerful. Around town, the EX30 has no crashing or thudding over potholes or speed bumps, whereas the Kuga jiggles you over rough roads and potholes. On country lanes, the Kuga inspires confidence with minimal body lean, while the EX30 leans quite a bit. Inside, you will find scratchy plastics lower down in both cabins, and each relies on screen controls that are annoying or fiddly to use.
