AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Toyota C-HR+ and the Volvo EX30 deal comfortably with road bumps in town, but you will find carrying three passengers abreast in the back is a squeeze. The longer C-HR+ is more efficient and gives you a bigger boot. In contrast, the EX30 is more powerful and can tow more. On twisty roads, the Toyota benefits from a lack of body lean, whereas the Volvo leans quite a bit. Inside, the C-HR+ provides physical heater control dials and permanent shortcut buttons on the screen. With the EX30, having to control everything through the display is a bit annoying and not intuitive when you want to change things quickly.
