Volvo has announced the pricing and key specifications of its most powerful SUV the company has ever built – the EX90, a 7-seater luxury SUV.
The EX90 will be available in two variants, starring with the Plus Twin Motor entry-level priced from $124,990 before on-roads. The Ultra Twin Motor Performance variant bumps that up to $134,990.
Both models of the EX90 will come equipped with a huge 111 kWh Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) battery pack, delivering up to 570 km of range on a single charge.
Charging this will be with an 11 kW AC or at speeds of up to 250 kW on the right DC fast charger. Charging times of 10-80% are around 30 minutes, which is quick for a battery with that capacity.
This battery feeds the 300 kW powertrain on the Plus variant which can propel the car from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.
For the extra $10,000 on the Ultra Performance variant, this can be bumped up to 380 kW, bringing the same sprint down to just 4.9 seconds.
Both variants will have a top speed of 180 km/h.
This powertrain can also perform well when it comes to towing with the EX90 towing capacity set at 2.2 tonne.
Moving onto the inside, there is a 14.5 inch touchscreen for the infotainment unit. This is powered by Google built in, making access to Maps and other applications a lot easier.
Apple users also have Wireless Carplay available through the infotainment screen.
For music enthusiasts, there is a Bowers and Wilkins 25 speaker sound system which is there to deliver an immersive sound experience to driver and passengers.
Looking at other parts of the cabin, the seats feature plush Nordico upholstery, inline with the luxury cabin.
There is also a panoramic glass roof with high UV protection, giving the cabin a more open feel.
Speaking of protection and safety, the EX90 has the highest amount of safety features in comparison to any Volvo before it.
The 3-row 7-seater comes equipped with LiDAR system that combines with Nvidia Drive hardware and in-house Volvo software to create a 360 view of the world around the car.
This system can help see small objects that are hundreds of metres away, helping the car and driver avoid or make informed maneuvers.
When it comes to sustainability, the EX90 has 15 per cent recycled steel, 25 per cent recycled aluminum and 48 kg of recycled plastics and bio-based materials.
Release date and full specifications are expected to be announced closer to the cars local launch. The pricing above for both variants includes a five-year/75,000km service plan bundled in for an improved ownership experience.
The pricing of the EX90 falls under the Polestar 3 which was launched in the second half of 2024. With 7-seats and the renowned Volvo badge, it’s likely to be a well received luxury electric model in the Australian market.
We look forward to getting behind the wheel of it when it lands later this year.
