The popular motoring YouTuber Doug DeMuro has revealed a number of hidden features that can be discovered on the latest electric Volvo.<\/p>\n

Doug has gained nearly 4.8million subscribers on his YouTube channel thanks to his videos reviewing a wide range of cars, from cutting-edge family models to iconic classics.<\/p>\n

In a recent video, Doug takes a look at some of the features that are found on the new Volvo EX30, an affordable electric SUV that does not feature a key.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cFor one thing, there\u2019s no key. Instead, you get this credit card-sized keycard which functions as the key. You hold it in a certain spot, and it unlocks the doors, and you can climb in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat way you can keep it in a wallet or purse, and you won\u2019t lose your key. Volvo says you\u2019ll soon have the functionality to use your cell phone as a key so, as long as you have your phone on you, you can just climb inside, and it\u2019ll automatically unlock, and you can drive away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rather than owners having to press a button on a manual key fob, the Volvo EX30 features a thin card which unlocks the car when it is nearby, similar to keyless entry on many other models.<\/p>\n

Getting inside the new Volvo, Doug praised the unusual-looking interior, which features plenty of recycled materials, such as the unusually textured door cards, which are made from recycled window frames.<\/p>\n

He also noted that many parts of the interior are incredibly minimalist, which helps to keep the car looking tidy and cut costs.<\/p>\n

As a result, Doug noted that many of the controls motorists expect in their car can be found in some unusual locations, such as the controls for the windows.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cYou don\u2019t have an overwhelming amount of buttons or switches or controls, in fact you basically have none at all. To illustrate that, let\u2019s start with the things you\u2019d expect to find on the door panel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe power window switches are located here in the centre. There are only two switches, left and right. If you want to roll down the back windows you tap this icon that says \u2018rear\u2019 and then your window switches control the rear windows. Tap it again and they\u2019re back to the front.\u201d<\/p>\n
