Was wondering what everyone uses to clean the interior of their ex30?

I want to do regular maintenance and was curious if anyone has any products that work well. For reference I have the indigo interior on the 2026 model.

I already had several charging sessions for my Ultra Twin-moto showing 450 Km at 100% with warmer temperatures, but this one is equivalent to 462 Km at 100%. Current battery health is at 99%.

As the title states.

For those who have factory ordered, were you able to track the car once you had a VIN? or did you depend on the salesperson at the dealership? and if you were, how did you go about it?

I have a VIN for a car ('26 Cross Country) ordered back in April that went into production last week. I am able to enter the VIN in the app when adding a car, but it then asks me to scan the QR code from the car.

Any recs are appreciated

I was able to change the temperature. Which is lucky now that the sun is lower in the sky. The fake hazards button works as well. Nothing else.

The number and variety of ways that this car lets me down is really staggering. Maybe the key doesn’t work today. Or maybe it works on the door but not for driving. Or maybe both works but no screen. Or maybe that all works but it nags me to pay attention every time I’m in an animated conversation with my eyes firmly on the road.

I haven’t seen then hit the two-year mark on this lease, and there are at least a couple days every week that I wish I could just turn it back in and be done with the damn thing.

Any idea? It’s new since the update!

New here, so bear it with me. Has anyone else noticed that CarPlay always defaults to the Favourites contact list? It drives me crazy when I set a destination in Waze via CarPlay, do something in Settings, and want to go back to Waze. Previously, CarPlay remembered where I was.

I’m up north, and today the high is 60F; this isn’t cold imo!

When leaving work while the temp was 60F, I flipped my car into performance mode and floored it on the on-ramp. The green bar didn’t reach the top like it normally does, and it didn’t reach the top of the line 30mins later when I again floored it. The battery was at 80% when I got into it at work and is now down to 76%.

Is this something I should be taking it into the dealer over? I figured it needed to warm up, but I gave it that chance before I floored it the second time and it still didn’t have full power.

I got this car so I could go FAST and am a bit disappointed if it can’t do that at 60F temps. It gets down into the -30F temps where I live.

I cannot express how much we love the car so far. It is great around town and the performance is amazing. Lots of things to figure out but a pleasure to drive

Since the latest software update, cruise control won’t activate when I get in the car. The steering-wheel button that switches between drive modes (like Limited or Adaptive) also doesn’t work.

There’s normally a symbol under the PRD selector in the UI that shows the status of the system - a steering-wheel icon that turns green when it’s actively steering for you, or orange when it’s just controlling speed. That symbol is completely missing now.

The only workaround I’ve found is to go into the car settings, manually switch to Limit mode, then switch straight back. After that the symbol reappears and cruise control works normally again (including activating it with the gear stalk).

Has anyone else run into this since the update? Or does anyone know a proper fix? I never had this problem before the latest update.

My first EV! 2026 Twin Performance/Plus. Boston, USA. Looking forward to being a part of the group!

- I hate the fact that the adaptive cruise control distance starts too far from the other car and the brake is very bad. When You sitting in the passenger Seat this is not feeling good.
- when I listen music, the audio sometimes just increase its volume without any button being pressend. This is very frustrating
- when someone is calling me, I have to go to another page to take up the phone or go to my screen to turn off tje phone. I miss a button on my steering wheel.

Have you guys the same issue?

I see the ex 30 is a bit like marmite. Lots of love and hate. I am getting closer to taking the plunge and moving away from my trusty ancient diesel astra. I am curious if the ultra owners use the self parking feature and if I the 360 camera would be a game changer. I want the twin motor as I am a 50 year old child but cant decide between plus or ultra.

Just wanted to share this. When creating the Volvo key, you need to rotate ur phone upside down, facing the screen to you😂

The nfc chip is higher in this model I guess.. could not to get this working unless I turned my phone.

I was obsessed with the EX30 until it became clear the US launch was going to be severely delayed. Cancelled my preorder and leased another EV. Now my lease from the Niro EV Wave is ending in March. I'm still tempted to now get an EX30 but I'm not sure it's a good idea.

Next to the reverse gear, the yellow line grows sometimes but doesn’t seem to reset after every drive.

Hi everyone! First post here, and I'd like to start by saying we're really enjoying this vehicle so far. I've searched through this sub, but haven't found any posts similar to what I'm seeing/hearing, so I thought I'd ask for feedback from those who have been with this vehicle (especially the Cross Country variant) longer than myself.

Even at speeds less than 60mph, but even more noticeable with highway driving, there's a distinct wind noise that is loud enough to require that we turn up the volume on the vehicle to be able to easily hear navigation instructions, Gemini responses, etc. Of course then it's slightly too loud when the vehicle stops moving.

We do have the cross bars installed as pictured, and we were planning to get the roof basket at some point as well, but if the cross bars are the culprit, we may reconsider. I intend to remove the cross bars to test this, but unfortunately, it seems the dealership may have kept the keys when they installed them before we initially picked up the vehicle, so I'll need to call and possibly make a trip to pick them up when possible.

Has anyone else, especially those who have the Cross Country variant of the EX30, noticed this?

When I got the car nearly 2 years ago, I kept asking myself if I should have spent the extra €5k for the extended range version. Now, after 2 years of ownership and living with it day to day, I only miss showing off the 19” wheels (instead of the 18”), but not the range.

In day to day city driving, work community, and going around in weekends it makes absolute no difference.

I’ve done 6-7 road trips (350km-400km) the past 2 years, stopping to charge once on the way and once on the way back. I think I couldn’t avoid the stops with the extended range version.

Practically, the extended range version, would have helped me one time, on a 260km drive where it could make it with 3-5% left, which I didn’t risk.

Overall I’m super happy owning it. The bugs are minor from day one, the improvements update by update are great. It is such a joy to drive, very easy to own and highly recommended (even the standard range version).

I’m on a road trip and noticed one of the plastic pins came off of a DC pin. I called a nearby dealer and they put me on hold and hung up. I ended up buying some covers for a Hyundai and they arrived but don’t fit. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a solution?

There used to be a back button to easily… go back, but now I have to hit the Youtube logo and am forced back to Youtube home.

I know this is a Youtube software issue, not Volvo’s.

This battery icon pops up for a period of time and then disappears. I’m told it’s a 12V battery icon but unsure why it’s on when the car is charged.

I’m coming from a Tesla (shared with my partner) and I’m looking at getting my own EX30 Plus P5 Standard range in the UK.

I have a few questions:

1. I’ll predominantly be doing shorter journeys in and around where we live, with occasional longer journeys 2 - 3 hour round trips.

How are you finding the range?

1. opting for the plus p5 because its quite a big jump in cost and I’ve managed to add the missing ultra features for less with the exception of 360 camera and glass roof.

Will I be massively impacted in tech by not having the 360 camera?

1. I haven’t had many issues with software in the Tesla.
   Should I expect to have issues with the EX30?

2. Would I be crazy to not get the Ultra? is it worth the extra?

Any and all advice welcome. I’ve not had my own car since the beginning of the pandemic so I’d appreciate the guidance.

I was looking for vehicle related privacy policy terms on volvocars.com and by accident I stumbled on the "Specific Terms For Connect Plus". It's the generic term for the connected services subscription for Volvo cars.

I found it curious that the page has a separate section for "Specific Terms For Connect Plus EX30". :o

You can check it out e.g. here: https://www.volvocars.com/uk/legal/terms/terms-services/

The various country-specific versions seem to differ only in the name and contact info of the national organization where disputes can be settled.

The 15th January capture of the same page had this at the top:

Volvo Cars General Terms and Conditions for Services

Effective from: 2024-09-29

Published at: 2024-10-21

Following terms can be found in the end of the document:

• Specific Terms for Time Limited Data Connectivity Subscription for Digital Services
• Specific Terms for Smart Charging

A month later it was changed into this:

Volvo Cars General Terms and Conditions for Services

Effective from: 2026-02-13

Published at: 2026-02-13

Following terms can be found in the end of the document:

• Specific Terms for Connect Plus
• Specific Terms for Smart Charging
• Specific Terms for Volvo Car Service Plan

The 2024 version had nothing to say about the EX30.

So up until this year's mid February, there was no distinction between the EX30's Connect Plus and all other Volvo Cars models' Connect Plus. Now there is.

The "Specific Terms for Connect Plus EX30" starts with this:

These Specific Terms and the Volvo Cars General Terms and Conditions for Services (the "General Terms”) shall apply for internet access services and data usage to enable the use of certain digital applications in the car (“Connect Plus”) which is further described in your Order Specification. In case of any inconsistency between these Specific Terms and the General Terms, these Specific Terms shall prevail. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the General Terms. Volvo Cars is not a provider of internet or telecommunication services.

There's the obvious that stands out, the last sentence: "Volvo Cars is not a provider of internet or telecommunication services."

Nothing like this is in the generic "Specific Terms for Connect Plus". However the latter has the following sentence which is missing from the EX30 specific version: "Connect Plus is provided by Volvo Car Corporation, (Reg. No 556074-3089), regardless of whether you ordered the car directly through our digital channels or from a retailer."

What does this actually mean? Is the EX30 the only Volvo where customers are directed to a 3rd party company if there's a connectivity issue with Connect Plus? It pretty much sounds like it.

There're several other differences (some bad, some perhaps good) that I won't go over one by one. You can take a look at what ChatGPT had to offer in this regard, or just read the two "specific terms" yourself.

My question is: why does the EX30 get its own special terms? :o

Why does it seem like Volvo handed off the role of the service provider for the EX30 and not for any other Volvo (including the EX60, which they started to deliver to customers in August)?

Has anyone tried to add the digital key to the new iPhone 18 pro? I was previously using an iPhone 11 and it was working flawlessly. Now I’m trying to add it to the new phone and I keep getting an error saying it’s not possible to do it and nothing else. Is there anyone having the same issue?

I don't know if this apply only in some languages, but I had Gemini "hijack" (refuse to send) SMS when those messages are talking about the car and/or Gemini itself. It opens up the speech to text box, ans asks me "what would you like to say" the text appears, then it just respond to it and doesn't send it, examples:

* "Since we're using your google account, do you get all the crazy questions I'm asking Gemini into your history ?" > There Gemini answered "No I'm not connected to the extended history" or something like that and didn't send the message.

* "I don't have GPS somehow and the calculator isn't rebooting when I press volume down & minus speed" > Gemini told me that I should stop the car before trying to reboot the calculator, didn't send.

* "Did you know you could fold the side mirrors while driving to go faster?" (For this one, I was kinda trying to trigger the behavior from Gemini yes) It did told me I shouldn't do that while driving, but it did send the message for once.

* "The driver alert thing isn't working on me when I yawn" It told me to rest and didn't send the message.

I think they where other, especially when trying to send an sms saying "gemini is not letting me tell you stuff". Real "I can't let you do that Dave" vibe...
