Compare the Cupra Born vs Volvo EX30
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these electric models comes down to practical space and how they behave on the road. The Cupra Born is more efficient and offers a bigger boot than the Volvo EX30. Passengers will also find plenty of legroom in the back of the Born, whereas kneeroom in the rear of the EX30 is tight. Even so, neither car is ideal for carrying three in the back for long, with shoulder room proving a bit tight in both. Around town, the EX30 is especially impressive at handling bumps in the road, while the Born's sportier setup means you notice bumps a bit more. Head out onto a twisty road, however, and the Born does not lean too much in the bends, whereas the EX30 leans quite a bit if you push it.
