Video Summary
The review presents these points about the Volvo EX90:- It's possibly the best Volvo ever built.
- Volvo calls it their most powerful, sophisticated, and technologically advanced car to date.
- It offers style and space for seven passengers, plus next-generation safety features.
- The EX90 is longer than the XC90, but less tall and wide.
- It lacks rubber cladding around the wheel arches, hinting at a luxury focus.
- Exterior features include motorized headlights that wink and animated rear lights.
- The door handles are fiddly, requiring digging fingernails in to open.
- Door mirror housings are chunky, each with two cameras, though these are considered bulbous.
- The Lidar sensor on the roof looks like a London taxi light.
- The pet detection feature can scan for people or pets inside, theoretically working on both animals and humans.
- There's a helpful message on the screen that confirms presence inside of the car.
- There's a substantial amount of underfloor storage in the boot, but the third row down provides 665 liters, less than the BMW X7.
- The interior has a variety of materials and a Swedish minimalism feel.
- Full autonomous driving isn’t available yet, though sensors are in place.
- The steering is very light and there’s a delay in the power steering activating when the car is put in gear.
