A true seven-seater, all-electric SUV that further raises the standards in safety and a more sustainable lifestyle: the new Volvo EX90 represents the start of a new era for the company in which it set a decisive course for a fully electric future.
Starting with the Volvo EX90, Volvo will reveal one new fully electric car each year. By 2030, it aims to sell only fully electric cars, one of the most ambitious electrification blueprints in the automotive industry and crucial to our ambition to be a climate-neutral company by 2040.
State-of-the art sensors like cameras, radars and lidar are connected to the car's high-performance core computers, where NVIDIA DRIVE runs Volvo Cars' in-house software to create a real-time, 360-degree view of the world.
The Volvo EX90 will also come with phone key technology as standard. Your smartphone serves as your car key and automatically unlocks the car and starts a personal welcoming sequence as you approach
Delivering up to 600 kilometres of tailpipe emission-free driving range on a single charge, according to the WLTP test cycle, it charges from 10 to 80 per cent in under 30 minutes.
The initially available twin-motor all-wheel drive version is powered by a 111kWh battery and two permanent magnet electric motors together delivering in its performance version 380 kW (517 hp) and 910 Nm of torque
A core system - powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AI platforms Xavier and Orin, Snapdragon® Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies and in-house developed software by Volvo engineers - runs most of the core functions inside the car, from safety and infotainment to battery management.
A 14.5-inch centre screen is your gateway to one of the best infotainment systems on offer, with Google built in. Google apps and services including hands-free help from Google Assistant, Google Maps navigation and more of your favourite apps on Google Play all come built in.
The Volvo EX90 contains approximately 15 per cent of recycled steel, 25 per cent of recycled aluminium as well as 48 kilogrammes of recycled plastics and bio-based materials, which corresponds to around 15 per cent of the total plastic used in the car - the highest level of any Volvo car to date.
It's a technology whereby you can use your car battery as an extra energy supply, for example to power your home, other electric devices or another electric Volvo car.
