Trade-offs: Short rear seat base for long trips; no “gadget wars” participation may deter tech maximalists .

Verdict: The New Luxury of Omission

The EX30’s revolution lies not in addition, but subtraction: stripping away the superfluous to amplify what matters – thrill in 3.6 seconds, purity in flax textiles, freedom in 5.4-meter U-turns. In an age of EV excess, it dares to ask: What if true luxury isn’t about having everything, but exactly what you need?
