Volvo's all-electric 2025 EX90 is the most important model in the company's line-up

The 2025 EX90 is Volvo 's first all-electric model, but it's undeniably the most important.

Priced from $ 79,995 (plus destination), it also has a narrowing opportunity gap, with three-row electric SUVs still in relatively short supply.

Volvo hasn't strayed too far from the familiar aesthetic of the XC90, not a bad thing given how well that SUV has aged.

The EX90 runs the second -generation of Volvo 's Android Automotive OS infotainment, and frankly, it looks much more cohesive than the old version.

Pilot Assist enables; a hands-on Level 2 system with adaptive cruise and lane-centering.

The U.S. will get six and seven -seat configurations of EX90, the former with a pair of captain's chairs in the second row for an extra $ 500 .

Volvo 's EX90 has some glitches, but it's a reminder that Volvo needs time to make use of all its fancy hardware.

The digital key system uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) on your smartphone to regale you with a light display from about 33 feet away, then unlock the EX90 at around 10 feet .

Volvo has done away with driver-adjustable distance in its Pilot Assist hands-on adaptive cruise control.
