Volvo released a new EV besides Polestar (which as far as I'm aware is also tied to Volvo (and it's parent Geely)?

Think we're talking about the same car, the EX30?

I know that Polestar is their like, "fancy" brand, but when I say Volvo I generally mean Volvo and not Polestar. Just like how I keep Opel and Peugeot separate.

They seem to have 4 models at this point. Unfortunately, not one of them is a reasonably sized car. 3 SUVs and a Crossover.

Yeah it's so depressing. No one makes small cars anymore, they're all gigantic battleships.

Volvo to be fair has been making battleships for decades, like the V70 was like, the most popular car here for the longest time, and you still see Volvo battleships from the 70s rolling around here.
