The crossover Volvo XC90 will stay in production and on the assembly line at least through 2025. The new EX90 is not a replacement for the older model, but an addition that broadens Volvo’s electric lineup and strengthens its commitment to electrification in North America.
Design
The electric crossover stands out with a streamlined front, notably the absence of a traditional radiator grille and the incorporation of retractable door handles. Its lighting has been refined for a sharper, more contemporary look. The EX90 is 84 mm longer, 33 mm wider, and just 1 mm longer in wheelbase. A front trunk adds extra storage space, contributing to a more expansive overall impression of the vehicle’s silhouette and practicality in daily use.
Technic
To date, the EX90 has been offered with two power outputs, 408 hp and 513 hp. Staying with Volvo’s policy of balanced performance and efficiency, the top speed is limited to 180 km/h, a practical choice for an electric SUV given its battery range. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h occurs in 5.9 seconds for the lower output and 4.9 seconds for the higher output. The 111 kWh battery enables a WLTP range of about 580–585 km, aligning with contemporary expectations for long-range electric mobility.
- One-pedal driving with regenerative braking is a hallmark of the EX90, enabling smooth deceleration and coming to a stop when the accelerator is released, without needing to apply the brake pedal.
- If the vehicle detects a person or animal inside a closed cabin via motion sensing, climate control can activate automatically and the system can attract the attention of the driver or nearby passengers to ensure safety and comfort.
- Adaptive cruise control relies on a sensor suite that combines 16 ultrasonic sensors, 8 cameras, 5 radar units, and a roof-mounted lidar array for enhanced awareness and safer highway driving.
Interior
Inside, the cabin embraces a minimalist philosophy with no physical keys and increasingly expansive touch interfaces. The design supports a modern, high-tech experience while reinforcing a sense of calm and space inside the three-ton, five-meter-long crossover. In keeping with environmental considerations, Volvo highlights sustainable interior choices. Traditional leather is not used for seating; instead, premium fabrics are chosen. Interior plastics are recycled, and wooden accents come from wood that is diverted from planned cuts, reflecting a conscious approach to materials use.
Price
In Germany, the starting price for the new EX90 is listed at 105,550 euros. The EX90 sits alongside Volvo’s broader electric strategy, which includes expanding options for customers seeking premium, safety-focused, and all-electric family vehicles. The EX90 also signals a growing trend among automakers to pair advanced technology with sustainable, high-quality interiors that prioritize user comfort and responsibility in materials sourcing.
- A new era in the crossover segment is visible with the appearance of the Skywell ET5, a model noted for its unconventional approach to design and propulsion.
