Discover the 2025 Volvo EX90: A Game-Changing Electric SUV Experience

Volvo has officially taken a bold step into its electric future with the release of the 2025 Volvo EX90, a vehicle that’s been highly anticipated for some time. The EX90 is a dual-motor electric SUV powered by a floor-spanning lithium-ion battery that stores 107.0 kWh of usable energy. This new EV promises a range of 300 to 310 miles, making it a significant player in the electric SUV market. But beyond its technical specs, the EX90 delivers the refinement and luxury expected from the iconic Volvo brand.

A Familiar Yet Modern Design

The exterior of the EX90 maintains a similar aesthetic to Volvo’s popular XC90, particularly when viewed from the rear. Riding on the same 117.5-inch wheelbase, the EX90 is slightly larger, standing 1.6 inches wider and 3.3 inches longer than its gas-powered sibling. One key difference is visible when you look at the front: there is no grille opening between the Thor’s-hammer headlights, giving it a distinctly modern EV look. Additionally, a bulge above the windshield houses a lidar sensor, hinting at its advanced tech.

Inside, the cabin looks and feels familiar yet modern, in true Volvo fashion. A small screen mounted on the steering column moves with the steering-wheel adjustment, while the center features a large 14.5-inch portrait-style screen powered by Google, which also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The shifter is located on the right stalk, and most controls have been moved to the touchscreen, creating a minimalist, streamlined interior.

Impressive Performance

The 2025 Volvo EX90 comes in two powertrain options: a standard dual-motor setup producing 402 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque, and a Performance version that cranks out 510 horsepower and 671 lb-ft of torque. The Performance model swaps in a larger rear motor, but both setups are designed to deliver power when needed, with the rear motor shutting off at cruising speeds to conserve energy. Torque vectoring helps with agility when cornering, and the EX90 accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds with the standard motor and just 4.7 seconds with the Performance version.

Despite its weight, which hovers around three tons, the EX90 feels surprisingly nimble on the road. The vehicle benefits from dual-chamber air springs that help smooth out the ride, even with the large 22-inch wheels. The suspension can automatically lower the car at higher speeds to improve aerodynamics and ride comfort. Paired with adaptive dampers, the EX90 delivers a ride quality that combines comfort with precision handling, while maintaining Volvo’s hallmark focus on safety.

Quiet Luxury on the Go

One of the standout features of the EX90 is its exceptionally quiet cabin. Even among electric vehicles, which are generally quieter than their gas-powered counterparts, the EX90 sets a new standard. This near-silence makes the EX90 an ideal backdrop for the optional Bowers & Wilkins 25-speaker stereo system, which supports Dolby Atmos for an immersive sound experience. Whether cruising on the highway or weaving through city streets, the EX90 ensures a serene, luxurious environment for passengers.

Pricing and Features

The entry-level EX90 Plus starts at $81,290, which is just over $6000 more than the plug-in hybrid XC90 Plus. The EX90 is loaded with premium features, including a fixed panoramic sunroof, Volvo’s Pilot Assist, parking assist, a 360-degree camera, a digital key, and Bose premium audio. For those looking for added comfort, the Ultra package can be added for $4350 and includes air springs, adaptive dampers, soft-close doors, and massaging front seats, among other perks. Six-passenger seating is also available for an additional $500, and buyers can opt for larger wheels and a top-tier Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

Though Volvo hasn’t yet provided specifics, the EX90 is expected to include hands-free driving capabilities. The lidar sensor on the roof, along with a suite of eight cameras, five radars, and 16 ultrasonic sensors, will eventually enable hands-free driving on select highways once the necessary regulatory approvals are received.
