Volvo EX30 Vs MG ZS EV : The Compact Electric SUVs are going to be all over in 2025, and the loudest of all will be the EX30 from Volvo and the MG ZS EV. MG’s entry into India’s EV history was heralded by the ZS EV. This debut of EX30 puts Volvo on a whole different premium level with its march into electric. Both these are fiercely targeted toward buyers wanting something futuristic yet practical in an electric SUV. So, which one is going to be the star, after all? Let’s check it out.
Exteriors and Design
EX30 is nothing if not pure Scandinavian elegance-clean, minimalist, classy, with signature Thor’s Hammer LED lights. The bolder stance almost contradicts the compact proportions of the EX30. It is not flashy at all, yet in every sense, it is futuristic-such a typical Volvo. Sporty alloy wheels, bold LED lighting, sharp cuts, and a closed grille endow the MG ZS EV with higher sensibility than the EX30, which got its 2025 updates. If you belong to the camp that values simplicity in modernist design, then you would opt for the EX30; however, the ZS EV would satisfy your inner sporty zealot.
Interiors and Comfort
As it enters, the EX30 gapes at and within a tech-luxurious lounge. Environmentally friendly yet graceful, it is furnished with recycled materials, a giant central touchscreen, and a clean dashboard. Thanks to the amazing attention to detail and comfort Volvo offers, driving becomes pure bliss.
The MG ZS EV has been upgraded for the year 2025 and features quite a number of luxuries, including an upgraded, very brilliant infotainment feature, wireless charging, panoramic sunroof, and plenty of space in the rear seat. Good materials, but not as nice as what one sees in a Volvo.

So really, in very plain speaking terms, the EX30 takes all the glory when it comes to luxury in the context of design quality, but the one area in which the ZS EV really fights back is in practicality and value.
Performance And Range
Much like a supercar in performance, the Volvo EX30 just breathes fire-be it in the single or dual motor, insane acceleration with an approximate range of about 480 km. Well, the less powerful MG ZS EV stands strong in terms of 440 km-fairly far-reaching smooth drivability for day-to-day use.
The MG powers feel perfect for city commutes and family comforts-Victory Lap for Volvo for the power and premium feel.
Safety And Technology
Volvo essays its name; thus, the EX30 came improved with all bells and whistles for ADAS, lane-assist, collision prevention, etc. Likewise, the ZS EV offers highly advanced driver aids and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, keeping the two contestants safe in this regard.
Yet the Volvo system felt very polished and sophisticated, thereby nudging ahead ever so slightly.

The Volvo EX30 is going to be a must-have for luxury enthusiasts with dramatic and spectacular designs and breathtaking technology, all in a small size.
It is going to be the MG ZS EV, for the logical ones, really sensible people, who are looking for low-cost solutions paired with achievements backed by strong Indian service networks.
It is a Victory Lap for Volvo EX30 if it is the luxury hope of hearts. If it is smart value-the brain speaking-MG ZS EV is a diamond.
