2025 Volvo EX90 styling
Styling on the 2025 Volvo EX90 doesn’t deviate much from the design language used on Volvo’s other fully electric vehicles. In fact, it looks more or less like an inflated XC40 Recharge or the smaller EX30. The Thor’s Hammer LED headlights make an appearance here in a segmented pattern that gives them a modern look. The grille is covered in a solid piece of plastic as opposed to being open, which is typical of EVs since there are no components under the hood that require ventilation. The door handles are flush with the exterior and lift from underneath, which improves aerodynamics and aids in efficiency.
At the rear, Volvo’s C-shaped taillights are augmented by a series of vertically oriented LED lamps on each side of the rear glass.
From the front and rear, an EX90 will be easy to distinguish from the Volvo XC90 that precedes it. From a straight side-profile view, the two vehicles are nearly indistinguishable. The subtle changes here are likely to align and resonate with a typical Volvo owner’s expectations.
2025 Volvo EX90 interior design and practicality
Volvo has made a concerted effort to build the interior of the EX90 with recycled, natural, or renewable materials. The Nordico upholstery option with fabrics made from recycled material such as PET bottles, and the tailored wool blend interior is said to be responsibly sourced.
A new 14.5-inch centre screen is powered by a next-generation Google built-in infotainment system. This integrates apps like Google Assistant and Google Maps, with additional ones available for download via Google Play. A 9-inch fully digital instrument cluster sits in a raised panel mounted behind the steering wheel.
One of Volvo’s key talking points about the EX90 is that it integrates more safety technology than any Volvo vehicle yet. A long-range lidar, five radars, eight cameras and 16 ultrasonic sensors work in tandem to create a safety shield around the vehicle. Driver attention monitors can identify a distracted driver or one who is in medical distress and the vehicle over to a complete stop if needed. Upgrades will be offered going forward via over-the-air software updates.
2025 Volvo EX90 motors and drive
At launch, two power delivery configurations will be available. The more powerful version generates a combined 509 hp and 671 lb-ft of torque, drawing energy from a 111 kWh battery. This more powerful EX90 is anticipated to move from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. An entry-level variant is expected to have just over 400 hp and nearly 600 lb-ft. Official range testing has not been completed, but Volvo estimates the EX90 will have a maximum range of 480 km. At a 250 kW fast charger, recovering the battery from 10 to 80 percent will take roughly 30 minutes. The EX90’s ride will be managed by a computer-actuated dual-chamber air suspension.
2025 Volvo EX90 price and release date
In Canada, pricing for the 2025 Volvo EX90 is expected to start at $110,000 for the base Plus Performance trim. For the Ultra Performance trim, expect to pay $115,600. These prices do not include destination charges, dealer fees, sales taxes, or applicable luxury taxes. Because of its high starting price, the Volvo EX90 will not qualify for federal or provincial EV rebates. Volvo expects deliveries to commence on the 2025 Volvo EX90 in Canada sometime in the latter half of 2024.
