The Omoda 5 and the Volvo EX30 represent two very different approaches to the modern small SUV, pairing striking design with distinct compromises. The Omoda 5 offers eye-catching looks and a well-equipped cabin, but lets itself down with a cramped interior and an unpleasant driving experience. On the other hand, the Volvo EX30 is a deeply charming electric car with stylish looks and exceptional comfort, though its minimalist cabin relies entirely on the touchscreen and leaves you with tight rear seats and a small boot. Both cars bring undeniable style to the road, but your preference will depend on whether you want a traditional petrol setup or a pure electric drive.
