A Volvo, but not as we know it. It’s a smaller car than they’ve done for decades. And it’s also electric-only. Volvo calls it a crossover, but really it’s just a tall hatch.

If you want something more crossoveresque, an EX30 Cross Country will go on sale later. Its body is slightly jacked up and clad in black plastic, and it rolls on more rugged tyres.

The most remarkable EX30 is the 422bhp twin-motor version. It’s startlingly rapid. The 0-62mph is a 3.6-second kick up the chuff. And it can be bought for a smidge under £41k.

The 268bhp single-motor EX30 is much more sensible and has swarms of rivals. The VW ID.3 and Cupra Born are almost exactly the same length, width and height, yet have notably more space. We like the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric. The EX30 shares a platform with the Smart #1 and Europe’s Zeekr X.
