Video Summary

The Volvo EX90 is targeted at middle-class families with kids in clubs and sports, predominantly mothers. The Volvo XC90 has been the go-to family vehicle in this market. The EX90 design fits in with the clean, minimalist aesthetic typical of electric cars in California.
- It has subtle, streamlined design, sharing elements with Tesla's approach to futuristic, sleek looks but retaining the recognizable identity of Volvo.
- The EX90 has different variants. The flagship Twin Motor Performance Ultra model has 510 horsepower, 25 speakers, soft-close doors, and an electric steering column.
- Pricing for the top-tier model exceeds $100,000; a 402-horsepower version is available for less.
- It's built on the new SPAE2 platform, which is shared with the Polestar 3. The platform is not a repurposed design from Geely or a Lotus Eletre version.
