- The EX90 is a massive, fully electric SUV with a huge range and seven seats. - It is Volvo's safest car ever. - It is built on the same platform as the Polestar 3 and shares batteries and electric motors. - It is comparable to the Volvo XC90, but is built on a different platform. - It will compete with a similar fully-electric, seven seat SUV like the Mercedes EQS SUV. - Styling has a recognizable XC90 silhouette. - The car features Thor's Hammer headlights with pixel LED, flush door handles, and 22-inch alloy wheels. - It feels massive and luxurious inside with a 14.5-inch touchscreen entertainment system developed by Google. - 9-inch digital driver display and a heads-up display. - Lacks many physical buttons, with almost everything controlled through a touchscreen. - Includes a nicely padded armrest, very deep cubby hole, and wireless phone charging in the front. - Middle row is fine for adults and includes an in-built booster seat. - The third row does not have isofix mounts but is good for children. - Stylingwise, the EX90 is more luxurious than the Polestar 3, which costs less. - The lidarr is meant to avoid collision situations and contributes to the cruise control and safety functions. - It is very heavy at 2.7 tons and over 5 meters long. - The twin motor gets 402BHP and the top speed is 112mph. - Top 100% at the start of the range test was 290 miles. - In test drove 305, 32 kwh/100 mi for the average consumption. - After driving around 100 miles, an overnight stop without charging was needed to finish the range test. - The real-world range test, driving from full to almost empty, resulted in 300 miles of driving range. The vehicle is expected to travel up to 374 miles fully charged. - First models to reach customers will lack planned tech features due to ongoing software issues and to future-proof the car. - The two versions have an 111 kilowatt battery and a 107 useable capacity. - Charges fast, from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes using a 250-kilowatt charger, but takes 16 hours to get a full charge at 7-kilowatt wall box at home. - Volvo offers a bidirectional system for powering the home with the car. - Refinement, driving experience, comfort, and spaciousness are strong points. - Overall, is a practical and luxurious SUV, comfortable and quiet on the road, and offers an impressive real world range.
