None of my garages ever caught scurvy.

Is the EX smaller than the XC? It looks weirdly small

How long before dealers play ball for these?

The reason I ask is I really HATE the kindergarden locked UI of my XC40. It’s so anti anything , Radio, Maps, even the 360 camera really sucks on it.

Same exact body as xc90.
@forbs - you guys need to grow up and stop bitching about Volvo UI lol
Google is good, nothing is ever perfect and minor issues with the UI are better than major issues with anthing else in a car. No idea how a 360 camera can suck, tbh

The EX-30 is about the size of the C40/XC-40

EX-90 is about the same size as XC-90, plus several fatty tumors for the extra sensors that are currently only decorative.

Smaller, though hard to imagine.

But not C30 small

Dunno. Could be, just taller.

I guess from your condescending answer there either

  • You don’t own a Volvo (highly unlikely)
  • You don’t notice those things

I said it’s Kindergarten locked, I didn’t say it’s written by a kindergartener. Even tire pressures are hidden with Green / Brown / Red. I was asking if the UI was upgraded since you had seen one in the field. That’s all. It’s really my only complaint about the car and I feel if the UI had more customization it would be a better experience.

Relax, it was a joke. And how did you figure it was ā€œcondescendingā€?

I’m been a target of the previous Trusted hackrs so long it’s an gut response. I felt that ā€˜birching’ meant that I’m just whining about nothing. To me the UI ruins an otherwise wonderful car and to me that ain’t birching. And I don’t mean the google UI, I mean how some features you take for granted such as the Air Pressure has been dumbed down to crayon colors.

And I said Volvo’s current UI and its issues is not a major turn off.

Well I hope at least the backup camera is fixed, on the XC40’s is only 120 so when I back up off a slope you see nothing of the street except for the pavement.

What year is your xc40?

Use top view?

2023, when you hit reverse you see the lower half of the screen and only maybe 90-120 degrees of vision. My other cars you can see the full street even when on a slope. And if I want the 360 (which does cover more) I have to push the screen and then push the 360 (which is a UI complaint) to see behind you. It’s a daily action for me and is one of my major peeves about it.

So 2 clicks is too much? I have the same in the Macan.

As I said, if the UI allowed me to always default to the 360 (or even used the top blank half for the side/rear 360s), I would love it. It’s a situational thing which probably only applies to 10% of owners. and I can’t afford a Macan…lol I’ll check out the EX90 just see the changes.

To me, rear view by default makes perfect sense when switching to reverse. Then, it’s only one tap to go to 360.

interesting , on mine it’s two. Maybe one if I catch it real fast. I believe the 360 icon shows for 1-2 seconds.
