All-New Electric Volvo ES90 Showcases Next-Gen Technology
March 07 2025,
The Volvo ES90 emerges as a vehicle that defies categorization, creating its own class by eliminating the compromises between sedans, fastbacks, and SUVs. This fully electric addition to Volvo's lineup introduces revolutionary technology wrapped in distinctive Scandinavian design, offering a glimpse into the automotive future while delivering practical benefits today.
With its release, Volvo strengthens its position as a leader in software-defined vehicles that harness the power of advanced computing. The ES90 joins five other fully electric models in Volvo's growing portfolio as the brand continues its journey toward full electrification.
800-Volt System Transforms Charging Experience
The ES90 debuts Volvo's first-ever 800-volt electrical architecture, a major advancement that enables faster charging and improved range. This technology allows drivers to add 300 kilometres of range in just 10 minutes when connected to a 350 kW fast charging station. With a total driving range of up to 700 kilometres under WLTP testing standards, the ES90 offers exceptional range for long-distance travel.
Aerodynamic efficiency further enhances the ES90's range capabilities. The flowing roofline and optimized proportions contribute to a drag coefficient of 0.25—the lowest of any Volvo ever built. This aerodynamic profile means less energy consumption and more distance between charges, addressing a primary concern for electric vehicle buyers.
Next-Generation Computing Powers Continuous Improvement
At the heart of the ES90 lies unprecedented computing power. The vehicle features dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin processors, making it the most powerful Volvo ever created in terms of core computing capacity. This represents an eightfold improvement over previous generation systems and enables the vehicle to evolve throughout its lifetime.
Built on Volvo's SPA2 architecture and Superset tech stack, the ES90 is designed to receive regular enhancements via over-the-air updates. This future-forward approach means the vehicle can improve its performance, safety technologies, and features long after purchase—a smart investment that maintains value over time.
Safe Space Technology Redefined
The ES90 continues Volvo's safety leadership with an advanced sensor array including five radars, seven cameras, twelve ultrasonic sensors, and a lidar system from Luminar Technologies. This comprehensive sensor suite provides vision beyond human range to help avoid collisions and hazards.
Inside, the ES90 features a driver understanding system that detects when attention shifts from the road and offers appropriate support. The vehicle also includes full-cabin occupant sensing technology that can detect movements as subtle as a baby's breathing, helping prevent occupants from being left behind inadvertently.
Premium Comfort Through Thoughtful Design
The ES90's interior prioritizes comfort through purpose-driven design choices. A long 3.1-metre wheelbase creates generous legroom for second-row passengers, while the panoramic roof—available with adjustable transparency—enhances the sense of spaciousness. A four-zone climate system with an advanced air purifier certified as asthma and allergy friendly protects occupants by blocking up to 95 percent of PM 2.5 particulates.
Audio excellence comes through a Bowers & Wilkins sound system option featuring 25 high-fidelity speakers throughout the cabin, including headrest and ceiling speakers. The system supports Dolby Atmos for immersive sound and includes a special mode replicating the acoustics of London's Abbey Road Studios.
The 14.5-inch centre display runs Volvo's latest infotainment system with Google built-in, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Cockpit Platform. A 9-inch driver display and head-up display provide essential information while driving, with a new 3D view supported by a 360-degree camera system for precise parking assistance.
The ES90's practical storage options include a 424-litre boot that expands to 733 litres with the individually-folding rear seats down, plus a 22-litre front trunk perfect for charging cables.
