From parallel to diagonal fishbone parking spaces, the technological marvel can automatically identify available parking slots and take control of the car. The new vehicle is also loaded with Door Opening Alert that notifies drivers about approaching cyclists and scooters with visual and audio alarms when attempting to open the door, Pilot Assist that maintains an optimum distance from vehicles on the highway, and Collision Avoidance Systems helps the vehicle come to a stop if a collision is imminent.
Living up to its Scandinavian ethos, the EX30 sports a modern appearance, decorated with visually stunning LED headlights and 19-inch Diamond Cut alloy wheels. The adoption of unadulterated beauty continues with a clean, unpretentious cabin. The interiors is furnished with recycled studio-inspired upholstery and denim decor crafted with reclaimed denim fibres. Aside from the ravishing interiors, the vehicle brims with useful accoutrements including Harman Kardon Premium Sound, in-built wireless phone charging slot, large door pockets and removable rear storage box.
