What is it?
The EX90 is built on Volvo’s advanced SPA2 platform and joins the brand’s growing line-up of battery-electric vehicles, which include the EX30, C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge.
Technology:
Engineered to be the safest Volvo ever, the EX90 introduces the marque’s invisible safety shield. This innovative system combines advanced sensing technology, including cameras, radar and LiDAR, to protect the vehicle’s occupants and other road users. These components are seamlessly integrated with the EX90’s cutting-edge vehicle computers, powered by Volvo’s proprietary software and NVIDIA DRIVE technology.
Power:
In Twin Motor Performance guise, the EX90 delivers 380kW of power and 910Nm of torque. This remarkable capability allows the EX90 to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds.
Volvo’s most advanced electric vehicle redefines long-distance EV travel by addressing range anxiety. The EX90 achieves an impressive 751km on a single charge in urban driving and 604km on the combined cycle, making it well-suited for extended road trips. Its 111kWh battery can be recharged from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes using a 250kW DC fast charger, ensuring minimal downtime during journeys.
Electric future:
The Volvo EX90 and the brand’s other electric models exemplify Volvo’s commitment to electrification. The Swedish automaker continues to provide various electrified options across its line-up, including battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and mild hybrids, catering to diverse preferences. By 2030, Volvo aims for electrified vehicles—including BEVs and PHEVs—to account for 90-100% of its global sales.
