The all-electric Volvo ES90 debuted today. This electric version of the S90 sedan is Volvo’s most technologically advanced vehicle, and it will serve as the luxury flagship for the Swedish automaker’s EV lineup.
Volvo ES90: Exterior Design
Most design features originate from the EX90, LED headlights, a closed-off grille, and C-shaped tail lights. During the unveiling, we also saw a lidar hump on the front side of the roof, which we’ve seen on some Lotus and Xiaomi cars. Except for the aerodynamically optimized fastback shape, the side profile is similar to the plug-in hybrid S90 marketed in overseas markets. Volvo will sell the ES90 in seven exterior colors and wheel sizes ranging from 20 to 22 inches.

Volvo ES90: Interior and Features
Its 14.5-inch portrait-style touchscreen display supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as 5G connectivity and over-the-air (OTA) software upgrades. Other significant features include a 9-inch digital driver’s display, an electrochromic sunroof with UV protection, a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system with Dolby Atmos, six-color ambient lighting, a 360-degree camera setup, and a PM2.5 air filter. The 424-liter boot capacity (with all seats up) may be increased to 733 liters by folding down the rear seats.
Volvo ES90: Range and Battery
The electric ES90, based on the modular SPA2 platform, is the second car to adopt the EV-only architecture, following the flagship Volvo EX90 SUV. Conversely, the electric vehicle goes above and beyond with an 800V electrical system that supports charging speeds of up to 350kW. As a result, 10 minutes of quick charging can increase the range by 300 kilometers. On a full charge, the ES90’s 106kWh battery pack provides a range of approximately 700 kilometers (on the WLTP cycle). The brand did not publish the power and torque specs for the ES90’s electric motors.
Volvo ES90: Safety
The ES90 SDV (software-defined vehicle) has several active safety systems, including five radars, seven cameras, twelve ultrasonic sensors, and one lidar sensor. Volvo’s chief technology and engineering officer, Anders Bell, stated that data, software, and artificial intelligence are used to enhance safety.
