2025 Volvo EX90 review: Could this be the best electric family SUV?

Uploaded 11 months ago by CarExpert

Video Summary

The Volvo EX90 is the all-electric successor to the XC90.

It sits on the same wheel base as the XC90, but is longer and taller.

It has more storage space including a front trunk.

The front end is sealed off with active louvers.

The drag coefficient is .29, not great but not bad.

Standard is a lidar system on the top.

There are sensors and cameras around the side mirrors.

Door handles retract when the car is locked and the doors can be locked and unlocked with a phone using NFC.

It has an 111kWh battery across the range.

The AC charging is 3-Phase 16 amps.

It can do up to 250kW DC charging.

There is about 570km minimum range on the WLTP cycle.

There is up to 614km on the combined cycle.

The interior is minimized in terms of buttons and has premium finishes.

It may feel like good value for money for what it is worth compared to the GLE.

You have to place the phone on the charging port to start the car, not allowing for phone charging at the same time.

There are also cooling vents to keep the phone from overheating.

Driver monitoring functions make sure the driver is keeping their eyes on the road.

Reverse camera quality is low.

Third row is cramped.

Largest volume available is 2107 litres, dropping to 380 litres with third row up.

The SP2 architecture has a dual-clutch setup that effectively gives a limited slip differential for torque vectoring on the rear axle.

It features NMC battery chemistry.

The rear axle shows suspension chambers.

The video crew experienced a few random software bugs with the car, such as braking on its own or having issues with the key.

There are two specs; both are seven seats.

The top spec is an "Ultra" performance version with almost 400kW power and +900 Nm torque.

The 0-100 speed is under 5 seconds for performance models and 6 seconds for entry level.

These cars are speed limited to 180kph.

Its air suspension makes it feel comfortable.

The Australian version comes from China.
