Choosing between the Omoda 5 and the Volvo EX30 means weighing two very different approaches to the small SUV. The Omoda 5 pairs eye-catching looks with a generous roster of equipment and a relatively posh interior, though it falls short with a disappointing driving experience and cramped proportions. In contrast, the Volvo EX30 cuts a stylish, minimalist figure with a remarkably comfortable ride and cool cabin ambience, yet it asks you to live with glitchy software and tight rear seats.
