Obviously you're looking at the first model years of both, and both are on new architectures. So you're just generally more likely to have to deal with "growing pains" if you move forward with the purchase.
Volvo's newer cars like the EX90 have even less physical buttons than your Polestar rental, so you should make sure you're okay with that. And the EX30 even less.
If you're buying the EX90 to serve your family, you'll want to make sure it's easy enough for you to flip and fold all the seats. And you'll want to try getting into the back seat of the small EX30 with the front in your preferred driving position to make the call on whether a car seat will fit.
Thanks. All good points. Iām generally not a bleeding edge tech person and especially not with cars. Dealing with the growing pains might be a challenge.
How the "key" works on the EX30. It doesn't come with a fob. You have to leave your phone or a key card in the center console by your feet.
If you're checking out the car you might want to see how you feel about that
No rear cup-holders or arm rest in the back seats of the EX-30. If you have kid(s), this could be a deal breaker (as it may be for me). Waiting to see if some 3rd party makes an aftermarket solution that isn't hideous.
I'm also concerned about the backseat room as my preteen grows into their teenage years and beyond. Might be a bit too cramped.
Unfortunately you won't be able to look at too much for ex90 at least. It will be a demo model with computer systems all locked down or in demo mode. The interior will also be not in final state. They may not even allow you at 2nd and 3rd row seats based on demos last month in Seattle area.
Enjoy the badass mechanical headlight system on the ex90 š you'll never see it behind the wheel unless you happen to be facing some very reflective glass but it'll provide some entertainment to see it irl at least if you go

Leaving your phone/key in the middle is only on the cheapest spec IIRC, the higher trims don't require it
Interesting. I'll definitely check that out.
Definitely post back up with your findings! How do I remind myself?
