Much of the EX30\u2019s interior is designed to draw both the driver\u2019s and the passenger\u2019s attention toward the center of the vehicle. This centralization theme comes together with the car\u2019s \u201csoundbar,\u201d which is basically a collection of speakers that reduces the need for additional wiring and material. The soundbar will be seamlessly integrated under the windshield, covering the entire width of the dashboard. Volvo says the soundbar not only improves audio quality in the cabin, but it also removes the need for speakers in the doors, creating additional storage space for users.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the window switches will also be found in the center console, rather than on the doors. The glove compartment is also placed beneath the center screen, rather than on the passenger side of the car.<\/p>\n

The EX30\u2019s center console will be built with a sliding system that lets users choose how to use the space, according to Volvo. The bottom compartment of the center console features an open basket that can fit a handbag and a smartphone, and below that is a protected storage area for small items like sunglasses. Underneath what looks like an arm rest, drivers or passengers can slide out a top compartment with two cupholders.<\/p>\n

For rear passengers, a little storage box slides out from beneath the center console to provide more storage, in addition to the dedicated pockets in the front seatbacks.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you want to use the little SUV to move some furniture around, Volvo says to check the tailgate for a handy size guide to reference.<\/p>\n
