Overview

Prior to its introduction, the design of the EX90 was previewed by the Volvo Concept Recharge in June 2021. [11] [12] Reports previously indicated the production vehicle would be called the Volvo Embla. [13] [14] [15]

The EX90 features a drag coefficient of 0.29 to improve efficiency. [16] It is powered by the same battery pack as the Polestar 3, a 111 kWh (107 kWh usable) battery produced by CATL. [7] With 250 kW DC charging, it is capable of charging 10–80 per cent in around 30 minutes. It also supports bi-directional charging. [17] [8]

The base model of the EX90 is called the Twin Motor, with a power output of 300 kW (402 hp; 408 PS) and 770 N⋅m (78.5 kg⋅m; 568 lb⋅ft) with a range of around 600 km (373 mi) (WLTP). The higher model is called the Twin Motor Performance, which offers a claimed 590 km (367 mi) of range. The power output is rated at 380 kW (510 hp; 517 PS) for the model designated as 'EE', or 370 kW (496 hp; 503 PS) for the model destined for North America and designated as 'E2'. All models are electronically limited up to 180 km/h (112 mph). [7]

The EX90 is equipped with Lidar technology by Luminar fitted as standard across the range to detect pedestrians up to 250 m (820 ft) away. Combined with 16 ultrasonic sensors, eight cameras, and five radars, the EX90 provide Level 3 autonomous capability. In the interior, the 14.5-inch vertically mounted touchscreen with 5G capability. It utilises the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform by Qualcomm to enable visualisation capabilities of Unreal Engine for the computing power and screen graphics on board the EX90, while the core system is powered by Nvidia Drive AI. [16] [18] The EX90 has seven seats, with What Car? reporting that a 180-centimetre (5 ft 11 in) passenger did not have quite enough headroom to sit up straight in the third row. [8]

EX90 Excellence

Unveiled at the Auto Shanghai show in April 2023, the EX90 Excellence is a four-seater, flagship version of the EX90 that features a two-tone exterior paint and different 22-inch wheel design. [19] In the interior, the second and third rows were replaced by two individual rear seats, separated by a center console with a refrigerator. [20] The variant has been compared by journalists with the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV which introduced a similar concept. [19]

Awards

Before market release, EX90 was awarded "Best Safety Innovation Award" by AJAC (Automobile Journalists Association of Canada). [21]
