Review
It's a fast, compact, and mighty adorable little electric crossover, if, that is, you can live with some of its failings.

What I like
Power aplenty, finely judged driving controls, and a cabin (recycled parts aside) that feels premium and is reasonable well built.

What I do not like
Clumsy control layout for many of the settings including the seat adjustments, accessing the infotainment, air-conditioning, etc. Rear passengers are expected to stretch to reach the window controls, since they are not on the armrests as they should be. Just very clumsy all round.

If its minimalism you're after this will be it. Volvo's new mini crossover offers a clean exterior alongside a blank slate cabin that hides plenty of smart thinking.

What I like
Clean, simplified exterior aside, the cabin make prestigious use of recycled material that means there's plenty of textures to look at, although they are perhaps not as great to touch.

Drive is sharp and the car always feels alert and lively as a result, with sufficient damping, high quiet levels, and respectable sovereignty once you're up to speed.

What I do not like
No instrument cluster means you're left to look at the infotainment screen, which is ok if you just want to check your speed, not so great if you're trying to kick on adaptive cruise, etc.
