Volvo EX90 price, range, specs, trim options, and more
It hasn’t always been a great time to buy an electric SUV, but that’s finally changing. We already have options like the Rivian R1S and the Kia EV9, but there’s another option coming, and it could end up proving itself as a great option for those who like Volvo’s style and tech. The Volvo EX90 is a cousin to the ultra-low-cost EX30 and offers the same Scandinavian sense of style, combined with high-tech features and good electric range.
The EX90 isn’t here yet though — and in fact, it seems to have been delayed. While Volvo has announced the car and a number of its features, there’s still a lot to learn about it. Curious to learn more? Here’s everything we know about the Volvo EX90 so far.
Volvo EX90 release date
The Volvo EX90 has had a bit of a rough go when it comes to its release. Originally, the car was set to launch in the first half of 2024. However, the vehicle was originally set to be manufactured in China. After new tariffs were imposed on Chinese-built electric vehicles, Volvo reportedly had to change its plans, moving production to Belgium. If those reports turn out to be true, the move could push the release date of the vehicle in North America to 2025.
The EX90 is still available for reservations though, so if you’re interested, you can put your name on the list. Just keep in mind that you may have to wait a little, and you shouldn’t make a reservation without being comfortable with dates being pushed out.
Volvo EX90 colors and models
Volvo has announced the different trim options available for the EX90. There are four trims on offer, and all of them will come with a dual motor powertrain. The base model is the Twin Motor Plus, followed by the Twin Motor Performance Plus, the Twin Motor Ultra, and the Twin Motor Performance Ultra.
So what’s the difference between the four? Well, it largely comes down to power. The two non-Performance models offer 402 horsepower and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds. The two Performance models offer 510 horsepower and can get to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds.
The Ultra models get a few additional features, including air suspension, soft-close doors, and 21-inch wheels. All models are available in six- or seven-seater configurations, with the six-seater configurations offering captain’s chairs instead of a bench seat in the second row.
The Volvo EX90 will come in Denim Blue, Sand Dune, Crystal White, Onyx Black, Platinum Grey, Silver Dawn, and Vapour Grey color options.
Volvo EX90 price
The Volvo EX30 is one of the cheaper electric cars out there, but don’t expect the Volvo EX90 to be similar. Volvo has announced pricing for the EX90, and it starts at $76,695, ranging up from there depending on the trim you get. That means it’s not really in direct competition with the Kia EV9, instead having to take on arguably higher-tech options like the Rivian R1S.
Unfortunately, the Volvo EX90 will not qualify for the federal EV tax credit in the U.S., as it will not meet the requirements for sourcing and manufacturing in the U.S.
Here’s a rundown of the pricing for all the different EX90 models and trims.
| 7-seater | 6-seater | |
| Twin Motor Plus | $76,695 | $77,195 |
| Twin Motor Performance Plus | $81,695 | $82,195 |
| Twin Motor Ultra | $81,045 | $81,545 |
| Twin Motor Performance Ultra | $86,045 | $86,545 |
Volvo EX90 charging speed and range
The battery and charging tech on the EX90 will be the same no matter which model you get.
All models offer a 111kWh battery capacity. Volvo says that this will deliver around 300 miles of range on the Twin Motor model. That means you can expect a lower range on the performance variants of the car, considering they’ll use the battery power a little quicker. We’re hoping it won’t be lower than 250 or 260 miles on any of the trims.
All models also offer a 250kW charging speed, which Volvo says will charge the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes. It’s not the fastest charging speed out there, but it’s also not terrible. It’s unclear if the car will ship with Tesla’s NACS charging connector at launch or if it’ll get NACS at some point in 2025. Volvo has announced the adoption of NACS and said that its vehicles will adopt the charging connector in 2025 — however, it has not given more details than that.
Volvo has said that the vehicle will offer bi-directional charging, meaning you’ll be able to use the car to power other accessories — however, it seems as though this feature may be a delayed, and come to the vehicle through an update at a later date.
Volvo EX90 tech features
The Volvo EX90 will come with a range of high-end features, as you would expect. The car comes with Volvo’s Android Automotive-based infotainment system, so you’ll get good integration with Google Maps and other Google services.
Unfortunately, however, Volvo has warned reservation-holders that the vehicle may be delivered without some key features right away, with some of them coming at a later date. These key features include Apple CarPlay, so if you’re a CarPlay user, you may have to wait for your EX90 to get the feature.
There will be some great driving features too, including 5G connectivity. The EX90 will come with driver assistance features like Park Pilot Assist, which should be able to identify parking spots and park on its own. There will also be adaptive cruise control. And, Volvo says that it’ll offer Level 3 autonomous driving using the suite of sensors on the top of the car, though it’s unclear exactly when it’ll have this feature. That means that it will be able to drive itself on the highway, without any interruption by the driver. You’ll still have to take over on many other roads, though.
