Volvo EX90 is finally unveiled, US pre-orders are open with a starting price under US$80,000

[ad_1]

A true seven-seater, all-electric SUV that further raises our standards in safety and a more sustainable lifestyle: the new Volvo EX90 represents the start of a new era for Volvo. Starting with this mode, the brand will unveil a new fully electric vehicle each year. By 2030, it aims to sell only BEVs and by 2040 it will be a climate-neutral company.

The Volvo EX90 has been unveiled in downtown Stockholm today, reflecting the brand’s Swedish roots. At the same time, reflecting its global footprint as a company, the model is planned to be built in the USA starting next year and later also in China.

A new instant classic in Scandinavian design, the Volvo EX90 defines the principle of form following function. It’s a versatile, stylish family car with modern proportions, combined with cutting-edge technology in core computing, connectivity and electrification to optimize safety, efficiency and aesthetics.

The standard safety in the Volvo EX90 is also higher than any Volvo car before it. The vehicle has an invisible shield of safety enabled by Volvo’s latest sensing technology, inside and outside. State-of-the art sensors like cameras, radars and lidar are connected to the car’s high-performance core computers, where NVIDIA DRIVE runs Volvo Cars’ in-house software to create a real-time, 360-degree view of the world. Additional sensors and cameras comprise the interior invisible shield of safety. Finally, thanks to the state-of-the-art sensor set including lidar, the Volvo EX90 is the first Volvo that’s hardware-ready for unsupervised driving in the future.

A core system – powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AI platforms Xavier and Orin, Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies, and in-house developed software by Volvo engineers – runs most of the core functions inside the car, from safety and infotainment to battery management. The end result is a more responsive and enjoyable experience inside the car. A 14.5-inch center screen is your gateway to one of the best infotainment systems on offer, with Google built-in. The model will also be compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay.

The initially available twin-motor all-wheel drive version is powered by a 111kWh battery and two permanent magnet electric motors together delivering in its performance version 370 kW (496 hp) and 671 lb. ft. of torque. In combination with the brand-new chassis, this creates a great and smooth driving experience. Expected to deliver up to 300 miles of range, the model charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes. It is also Volvo’s first car with all the necessary hardware to enable bi-directional charging.

The Volvo EX90 contains approximately 15 percent of recycled steel, 25 percent of recycled aluminum as well as over 105 pounds of recycled plastics and bio-based materials, which corresponds to around 15 percent of the total plastic used in the car – the highest level of any Volvo car to date.

The 2024 Volvo EX90 is now available for pre-order in the United States. The 7-seater will be available well-equipped at under $80,000. Customers placing pre-orders will be asked to configure their cars in Fall 2023 and will receive prioritization when deliveries begin in early 2024. All Americas-bound Volvo EX90 models are expected to be built at our plant in Charleston (Ridgeville), South Carolina.

In every Volvo car, form, function, and technical innovation are in perfect harmony. This is especially true for the upcoming fully electric Volvo EX90. The brand gives a closer look at the design and features prior to the official launch of the model. Its Scandinavian design approach is straightforward. This new flagship SUV is designed to fulfill a purpose: to be an elegant, efficient fully electric family car…
