This is the new Volvo EX30, the Swedish firm's latest SUV.

At a little over 4.2 metres long, the EX30 full electric car is Volvo's smallest SUV, but in the twin-motor performance form with 422bhp, it's also exceptionally powerful.

That's enough poke to propel the EX30 from 0-62mph in just 3.6sec. So this is something of a driver's car. With a 64kWh usable battery, Volvo expects it to get a WLTP range of up to 277 miles. EX30 prices start at £33,795 in the UK and top out at £44,495 for this top-spec variant.

But while this is a good-looking, great driving and decent value and ranged electric SUV, as Matt Prior discovers, there is a problem. Join us for a look around the outside, inside and driving experience of the new EX30.
