The ES90 can have a top-up of 300 kilometres range in just 10 minutes at 350 kW fast charging stations.
Volvo has unveiled the all-electric ES90 sedan. The EV sibling of the S90 sedan will be a flagship model for the carmaker.
The ES90 is built on Volvo’s SPA2 architecture and is the second car based on the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack after the EX90. The Superset tech stack consists of one single set of hardware and software modules and systems that will underpin all upcoming electric cars. Volvo’s new 800-volt technology makes its debut in the ES90, which helps with faster charging, better overall performance, and more efficiency. The result is a car that goes further and charges faster than any electric Volvo before. The ES90 can have a top-up of 300 kilometres range in just 10 minutes at 350 kW fast charging stations. Featuring a 106 kWh battery pack, it offers a range of up to 700 kilometres under the WLTP testing cycle.
The exterior design features the trademark Thor Hammer headlights and a closed front grille. There are C-shaped tail lamps along with LED lamps in the rear windshield. Because of its notchback design, it has a large tailgate that opens up to 424 litres of boot space. Folding down the rear seats individually increases the space to 733 litres. The ES90 also gets a 22-litre frunk. Volvo is offering seven exterior colours and alloy wheels options that vary from 20 to 22 inches in size. It has a wheelbase of 3,100m and a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.25.
On the interior, the ES90 14.5-inch centre screen houses navigation, entertainment climate control and other features. There is also a 360-degree camera with a new 3D view. Other features include a 9-inch digital instrument four-zone climate control, a large panoramic sunroof with UV protection of up to 99.9 per cent, six colour ambient lighting themes etc. The 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins gets Dolby Atmos and has a special mode that replicates the sounds of London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios.
The ES90 has a new generation infotainment system with Google built-in which includes services such as Google Maps, Google Assistant and more apps on Google Play. It is 5G capable and is powered by the Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies.
In terms of safety, it gets an advanced array of sensors including five radars, seven cameras, twelve ultrasonic sensors, and a lidar from Luminar Technologies.
The new Volvo ES90 is now available for order in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Other markets will be added later this year and into 2026. There is no news on an India launch yet, but considering the S90 has been on sale here for many years, the ES90 could find its way to Indian shores too.
