The new Volvo EX90 will enter production in the fourth quarter of this year alongside the smaller Volvo EX30.
Speaking on a call with journalists, Volvo CEO Jim Rowan said the EX90 will initially enter production in very small numbers ahead of sales beginning in 2024.
He added that the near-£100,000 seven-seater “blew through those targets for pre-orders” and that it “top and tails the range” with the EX30 – hinting that there will be no model smaller than the crossover, nor any larger than the EX90.
The EX90 – serving as a “statement for where we are and where we're going” – is claimed by Rowan to set new standards for safety as Volvo aims for zero crash fatalities in its cars.
The new machine is effectively an electric-only equivalent to the current Volvo XC90. It's the third electric Volvo, following the Volvo XC40 Recharge and Volvo C40 Recharge, but the first to sit on a dedicated electric platform – the Geely group’s advanced SPA2 architecture. It's closely related technically to the recently revealed Polestar 3 but unlike that model features a third row of seats.
The EX90's styling is based on the Concept Recharge that was shown last year. It retains familiar Volvo design cues, such as the blanked-off front grille seen on the XC40 and the upright rear lights. It has also been honed for aerodynamic efficiency to optimise the range; Volvo claims a coefficient of 0.29Cd.
It will arrive with a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive powertrain offering two outputs. Twin Motor models will have 402bhp and 568lb ft of torque, while Performance models will have 510bhp and 671lb ft. Both offer a limited top speed of 112mph.
Lower-powered single-motor versions are likely to follow.
Power will come from a 111kWh battery (107kWh usable), with an efficiency of 2.9 miles per kWh and a claimed range of 364 and 360 miles respectively. The battery can be charged at rates of up to 250kW, offering a 10-80% charge in 30 minutes.

I am able to create $88/h to complete few jobs on home computer.

It's the same old story, we're told we really need these Labour saving controls to make our driving safer not distract us not really concentrate on what we should be, who said we need them?, are they so vital to control a Car?, and yes, when you get in your car , set your preferences to everything,then move off and you shouldn't need to touch or talk to a computer, driving a car today has so many things to check while driving that you almost need a Co-pilot.
£1600 a month, insane. I do hope some of that £100k goes towards road repairs because at nearly 3000kg it's going to do alot of damage, insaner.
Sure like people buy vans out of choice. Oh the average Ford transit weighs considerably less, do some reseach and think before posting next time
It is the weather, and bad construction, that is damaging our roads, NOT heavy cars.
Rubbish, next you're be saying a push bike does the same damage as a 2800 kg volvo
3tonne cars damage roads, 44tonne LGV's not so much..
Have a word with yourself.
yea because there's a light weight 1 tonne LGV that does the same job, you're as big idiot as Andy
