Compare the Volvo EX30 vs Kia EV3
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Kia EV3 has a bigger boot than the Volvo EX30, and there is space in the back of the EV3 for two six-foot adults to get comfy, with plenty of leg and head room. In the Volvo EX30, rear kneeroom in particular is tight, with barely enough space for a six-footer to sit behind another six-footer. The Volvo charges faster than the Kia, and despite its clear focus on comfort, it is actually pretty good fun on a twisty road, while the EV3 is not much fun on a twisty road. Once you are cruising on the motorway, both cars produce a little wind noise, but it is not obtrusive in the Kia and there is nothing to complain about in the Volvo.
