Volvo Unveils Flagship Electric Sedan: A Sustainable Rival to the EX90 SUV

Here’s the rewritten content:

Volvo just dropped a bombshell at the reveal of the new XC90: a flagship electric sedan called the ES90. And by “flagship,” we mean it’s the crème de la crème of Volvos, sitting atop the entire brand’s model range. But don’t worry, we’ve got the scoop on this sleek new ride.

Details are scarce, but Volvo gave us a sneak peek in a video presentation, showcasing the silhouette and name of the ES90. And thanks to some leaked intel from Autocar, we can start piecing together what this electric sedan might look like. For starters, it’s reportedly around 16 feet long, almost as long as a Mercedes S-Class. And, like the EX90 SUV, it’ll be built on the same electric architecture, with a single-motor (rear-wheel drive) and dual-motor (all-wheel drive) powertrain options. The battery pack? Same as the EX90: 111 kWh.

The teaser photos show a Polestar-inspired roofline, with a chunky C-pillar and short rear deck. I’m also spotting some Volkswagen Phaeton vibes. Take a look at the space between the rear door and C-pillar – there’s plenty of room for rear headspace and reclining. Expect the same level of luxury as rivals like the S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Lexus LS.

One more tidbit: the ES90 might be built in China, at a Geely-owned plant. But don’t worry, it’ll be a global-market sedan, sold in Europe and North America too. As for when we’ll see the final product, Volvo’s already teasing production-spec designs, so we might get a glimpse next year. Stay tuned!
