Compare the Volvo EX30 vs Tesla Model Y
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Tesla Model Y is longer than the Volvo EX30, is more efficient, and has more room with the back seats folded. In the entry-level Model Y, there is more than enough head, leg and foot space for three six-footers in the back, whereas the EX30 has tight kneeroom with barely enough space for a six-footer to sit behind another. Out on twisty roads, the Model Y gives you confidence with a lack of body lean, but the EX30 leans quite a bit if you try to drive it like a sports car. Both cars share an annoyance inside, however, as each requires you to open the glovebox via the touchscreen.
