Volvo’s EX90 was meant to be a tech buffet, but ends up a satisfying snack

The 2025 Volvo EX90 is a handsome SUV that just happens to be electric.

Volvo crammed in software-based features that have proven difficult to implement.

The EX90 uses an Android -based infotainment system like other recent Volvo models.

It's available as a seven -seater (with a second-row bench seat) or six -seat (with second row captain’s chairs) It's only just now starting production in South Carolina with customer cars scheduled for delivery before the end of the year .

The EX90 is available only with a dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain and 111-kilowatt-hour battery pack.

Volvo ’s Pilot Assist system can manage acceleration, braking, and lane centering on highways, but still requires drivers to keep their hands on the wheel.

Volvo also hopes to improve the EX90's driver aids with an industry-first lidar unit — a sensor normally used on the self-driving car prototypes various companies are testing.

The Volvo EX90 is a great electric SUV, but this list of alternatives is a reminder that it arrives into a mature market that is unlikely to be upset by any single new entry.

Volvo has discussed bidirectional charging to allow the EX90 to serve as a mobile energy source and Plug & Charge functionality for streamlined charging.

The EX90’s 400 -volt electrical architecture allows for DC fast charging at up to 250 kilowatts , resulting in a 10% to 80% charge in 30 minutes .
