A Look at the Upcoming Volvo EX90
December 20 2023,
The upcoming Volvo EX90 will be the new flagship of the brand’s lineup and the second model after the EX30 to be part of its second generation of electric vehicles. Positioned as a true seven-seater, all-electric counterpart to the gasoline-powered XC90, the EX90 combines Scandinavian design with cutting-edge technology to prioritize safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
A new era of Volvo design
The Volvo EX90, described as a new instant classic in Scandinavian design, embodies the principle of form following function. Its versatile and stylish family-oriented design incorporates modern proportions and cutting-edge technology, emphasizing safety, efficiency, and aesthetics. Along with the EX30, the EX90 showcases the brand’s modernized design language that combines elements from the current models with distinctive lines to make for an all-new package that is instantly recognizable as a Volvo. Inside, the EX90 continues to embody modernity and Scandinavian design with its minimalist dashboard that integrates almost every control and display within a large center screen and a small driver information display.
Unprecedented safety
Safety is a paramount focus for the Volvo EX90, setting new standards in comparison to its predecessors. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, including cameras, radars, and lidar, the SUV creates a real-time, 360-degree view of its surroundings. This invisible shield of safety extends to both the exterior and interior, with sensors and cameras monitoring driver attention, ensuring a safer driving experience. The vehicle can also get smarter and safer over time through continuous updates and learning from new data.
Furthermore, the EX90 is the first Volvo designed to be hardware-ready for unsupervised driving in the future, showcasing Volvo's commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements. The core computing system, powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AI platforms Xavier and Orin, Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms, and in-house developed software, enhances the overall driving experience.
Impressive technology
The interior of the Volvo EX90 offers a highly advanced Google Built-in infotainment system with a 14.5-inch center screen, featuring Google apps and services, including Google Assistant and Google Maps navigation. The EX90 is also compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay, providing a seamless connection to the driver's digital life. The technological integration extends to a 5G connection, facilitating intuitive navigation and entertainment.
A sustainable SUV
Volvo prioritizes sustainability not only in the EX90's electric drivetrain but also in the construction of the car itself. To this effect, the SUV contains recycled materials, including 15% recycled steel, 25% recycled aluminum, and 48 kilograms of recycled plastics and bio-based materials. In addition, upholstery materials have also received special attention to ensure their sustainability, such as the available wool blends that replace leather.
A powerful and advanced powertrain
Furthermore, the Volvo EX90 is equipped with a completely new electric powertrain architecture that features technologies such as bi-directional charging, allowing the car's battery to serve as an additional energy supply for the home, electric devices, or other electric Volvo cars. The basis of this system is a 111 kWh battery that powers two electric motors which provide traction to all four wheels and an output of 517 horsepower and 671 lb-ft of torque. According to the WLTP standard, this setup will supply the EX90 with a driving range of up to 600 kilometres and a 10 to 80% charging time of about 30 minutes.
In summary, the Volvo EX90 represents a groundbreaking step for Volvo Cars as it embraces a fully electric future, combining safety, efficiency, and sustainability in a stylish and technologically advanced package.
