AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Renault 4 E-Tech and the Volvo EX30 are really comfortable on the motorway, but they suit different priorities. For carrying luggage, the Renault 4 has a bigger boot and provides more room with the back seats folded, while also proving more efficient. By contrast, the Volvo EX30 is more powerful, can tow more, and charges faster. Neither model excels for rear passenger space, leaving adults feeling cramped on longer journeys. When you venture onto country lanes, the EX30 is actually pretty good fun on a twisty road, whereas the Renault 4 never feels particularly fun.
