This is such a royal PITA these days with the way Volvo spec everything up.

I want to buy an ex30 which comes with sensible 18in wheels. But I want extended range which then means it comes with 19in wheels (and we are up from 33k to 38.5k). But then I want the heat pump, 22kw charger, panoramic roof and light interior which means I have to go for Ultra and it comes with 20in wheels (and we are now up to 42k).

To be honest after making the "price journey" all the way up to 42k I might be tempted just to say **** it and I will go for the Twin Motor as well at 44.5k, but then I get 21in wheels......

I think I will end up with the Ultra single motor extended range at 42k and then look for some smaller wheels (maybe as part of a winter tyre package) if they break my spine.

I don't really need a Twin motor car which accelerates to 60 in 3.5s anyway.....
