But what makes the new Volvo EX90 unique? Read on to find out.
Next-generation technology
The new Volvo EX90 is not just another addition to the electric Volvo portfolio. It also happens to be the first Volvo car to be built using core computing technology, making it the safest model yet.
With a suite of sensors including radar and lidar, the Volvo EX90 delivers the highest level of safety as standard.
Driver Understanding uses sensors to monitor the driver and step in where a lack of attention is detected. Occupant Sensing reminds you if there is anyone left behind in your vehicle, with the climate system adjusted to improve comfort.
Dedicated to safety all around, the Volvo EX90 is packed with a range of active and passive driver aids. These include:
- Park Pilot Assist
- Door Opening Alert
- 360-degree camera
- High-definition pixel headlights
- Pilot Assist
- Lane Change Assist
Two onboard computers are in charge of all functions, for a more seamless process. Over-the-air updates also help future-proof the EX90 to ensure it is always up to date with the latest developments.
Innovative electric power
Fitted with a 111kWh battery and a pair of electric motors, the Volvo EX90 offers up to 374.1 miles of range on the WLTP test cycle. Range Assistant gives you an overview of range, with improvements to help maximise energy efficiency.
Battery pre-conditioning enables charging efficiency by heating or cooling the battery in advance. This allows for faster charging, with a 10-80% charge taking just 30 minutes using a rapid 250kW DC charger.
Set up your account in the Volvo Cars app and make public charging easier than ever. This allows you to manage access, payment, and more, making it quick and simple to plug in and recharge.
Bi-directional charging also allows the Volvo EX90 to power other devices. From standard appliances to your house itself, including returning surplus energy to the grid to help you save money.
Smart, luxurious design
Volvo cars are known and loved for their luxurious, high-end interiors and the new EX90 is no exception. With exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, the EX90’s interior delights all the senses.
Seven full-sized adult seats with an ergonomic design ensure optimal comfort and support for all passengers. Covered in either a Wool Blend or Nordico upholstery, matched with Scandi-inspired wood accents. Responsibly sourced for added sustainability.
Natural LED interior lighting uses a spectrum similar to natural sunlight for a calm, peaceful setting. Back-lit genuine wood decor also adds to the ambience, along with a tilted panoramic roof to let the light in.
Charcoal detailing on the dashboard and door panels adds elegant style, along with jewel-design details in the cabin. With smart monitoring and purification, the EX90 offers improved air quality for all passengers.
Flexible and practical, the EX90 offers adaptable storage space for maximum convenience. Enjoy up to 1,915 litres of boot space with the second and third rows folded, offering space to store larger items and luggage.
Fully connected cabin
The new Volvo EX90 perfectly understands the need for modern technology. This consists of a 14.5” centre display and 9” driver display – both customisable according to your preferences.
Shortcuts and widgets help keep things simple, so you can keep all your essential functions handy. You can even activate preferred controls here such as Performance AWD and customise your drive before setting off.
With Google built-in, you can download all your favourite apps via the Google Play store, creating your smartphone on wheels. 5G also brings you the best online experience, allowing you to stay connected on the go wherever you end up.
A 13.2” high-res head-up display projects key driving information onto your windscreen within your vision. This reminds you of speed limits and road distances which are sure to come in handy when driving in unfamiliar places.
