      <p style=”text-align: left;”>I am looking to order the EX30 Ultra extended range has anyone else ordered one yet</p>
      Don’t know if to wait until dealers around West Midlands  have one in stock to look at first or to take a keep of faith and order one soon

      Dealer advises between 5 and 7 months delivery but was a little vague

       

      Cheers

        Realistically it was 8-10 months, before the Suez Canal divertions last week.

         

        So could be longer, the good thing is there is lots of scope if the AP drops to get it at any lower price.

         

        There is no demonstrators available for test drive, so if ordering now make sure the dealer knows its subject to test drive

          As above there will be a delay

          You can always order ex30 now and change your mind down the line if it becomes too long a wait or want something different

            I was told 3 months, I didn’t say I’d heard different but guessed it’ll be one of those ‘don’t know what’s happening’ type conversations until it eventually showed up.

            I’d not but anything that expensive without knowing it’d be perfect for me.

              Love the look of this small car but

              Would advise test driving when available and see how you feel about having to keep taking your eyes off the road to navigate through the touch screen for the simplest of tasks

              My guess is that the AP will soon have to come down and on closer inspection imo it should at present be no more than £999/£1500

                It really depends on what you are after. Had the chance to kick the tyres on it when it was on display at local garage recently. Great looking, sized probably between a vw polo and a golf, gets great reviews for driving/handling, BUT I was really disappointed in the quality of the interior – scratchy plastics, all screen based controls, but the worst part for me was really flimsy arm rest that I know would drive me crazy.
                if you want a really great looking tightly packaged EV the go for it! If you want plush interior with bells and whistles, look elsewhere.

                  Thanks for your response

                  Glad you were able to view one, I have called several dealers in the west Midlands and none have any available to even view

                  Think I will place an order and I can Airways cancel if it’s not sutiable when I actually get to see one and test drive

                   

                  My other choices were the hyundai Iconiq 5 ultimate tech or the Kia Sportage PHEV so may m look into these further

                  Thanks

                    kia sportage is a nice car[via videos]. the volvo is on face of it an attractive car but the internal stuff is very much hampered with everything inc the speedo on the central info screen. imediately i saw that stuff i removed it from my list.

                    pretty car tho and good range and fast too

                      Thanks, I had a C4 grand picasso for several years and this had a central speedo and soon got used to it

                       

                      Think I will go with the volvo as having a stem cell transplant in /april/may so will not be able to drive for a few months after so June or July delivery works out ok for me

                       

                      I was told June time for the sportage as well for the gt line s PHEV so they are about the same or month or two earlier

                      . Thanks
