OVERVIEW

With the release of the new EX90 premium SUV, Volvo's shift to an all-electric portfolio advances. When it goes on sale in 2024 as a model, it will be positioned above the XC90 that is fueled by gasoline. It looks sleeker than the XC90 without sacrificing iconic Volvo style cues like the "Thor's Hammer" LED headlight signature and vertically oriented taillights.

Its styling incorporates components from the Concept Recharge show vehicle from 2021. According to the less potent and smaller C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge SUVs, this system should have sufficient of punch for swift acceleration. A 496-hp electric engine will come standard.

The EX90 can reportedly travel 300 miles on a single charge because to a sizable battery pack, and it can be recharged quickly using a DC connection. According to Volvo, the EX90 will also have the company's newest driving-assistance technology. This technology includes a new driver-monitoring system that can intervene to support the driver if it notices any signs of stress or distraction.

What has Changed for 2024?

When it goes on sale in early 2024, Volvo's top model will be the EX90, a completely new nameplate for the company.

2024 EX90: EV Motor and Performance

All EX90s will have dual-motor all-wheel drive, although the Twin Motor Performance model has 496 horsepower while the Twin Motor entry-level model has 402 horsepower. The Polestar 3 recently made its debut and is available with an even higher-output 517-hp version of the propulsion architecture, both of which are new.

Despite the EX90 possibly tipping the scales at a heavier curb weight than its gasoline-powered counterpart, the XC90, acceleration should be swift. Volvo estimates that the Twin Motor model should reach 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and the Twin Motor Performance in 4.7 seconds.

2024 EX90: Battery Life, Charging, and Range

The 111-kWh battery pack inside should provide 300 miles of range, according to Volvo. The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in as little as 30 minutes using the standard DC fast charging capability. The EX90's EV architecture also supports bi-directional charging, so you can connect it to your home to run appliances in case of a power outage or use it to recharge another Volvo EV if necessary.

2024 EX90: Interior and Comfort

Most of the EX90's settings are located on a sizable touchscreen infotainment system thanks to its simple interior design. Although the design is simple and historically Scandinavian, some drivers may find it annoying because they prefer actual buttons and switches on their dashboards.

There is space for seven passengers thanks to a conventional third row of seats, and the cabin is made to feel open and light by a big glass roof. In the goal of environmental responsibility, leather upholstery has been eliminated from the options list, but the materials that have been utilized in its place appear upscale, particularly the wool fabric that is available and is blended with plastic recovered from recycled bottles.

2024 EX90: Connectivity

The enormous 14.5-inch vertically oriented touchscreen with Volvo's Google-based infotainment is the interior's most notable feature. A 5G connection is included as standard with the EX90 to support over-the-air updates.

Only the top-spec Ultra trim of the EX90 is currently available, and it comes with features like a panoramic sunroof, a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system with Dolby Atmos, and speakers built into the headrests. The EX90 also includes phone key technology as standard, which uses the smartphone as the vehicle's key.

2024 EX90: Pricing

We expect the 2024 EX90 will be priced at $80,000 (est) for the base trim, while the top of the line trim will be priced at $100,000 (est).

Which one to Purchase?

Although pricing and trim levels have not yet been made public, we anticipate the electric EX90 to cost more than the SUV's gasoline-powered counterpart, the XC90. We anticipate the EX90 to follow the new pattern, which calls for a base Core trim, a mid-range Plus variation, and a fully equipped Ultimate model. Volvo has also just reorganized its trim level offers.
