Volvo has revealed its all-newEX90, an electric seven-seat SUV that replaces the XC90 and becomes the company’s new flagship model.
Volvo says the EX90 can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in “under 30 minutes,” and the total power output of the dual-motor version of the EX90 is 380 kW (517 horsepower). Combined with 910 Nm of torque, the EX90 is expected to be a rocketship of a seven-seater – although Volvo is yet to reveal all of the car’s performance statistics, and has instead said more about the its technology and safety systems.
As you might have noticed from the lead image, the EX90 has a Lidar sensor on the front of its roof, capable of seeing small objects hundreds of metres down the road, Volvo says. This, along with cameras and radars, feeds data to the car’s Nvidia Drive system to create a real-time, 360-degree view of the car’s surroundings.

The car has Volvo’s Pilot Assistant semi-autonomous system, and also packs a new eye gaze monitoring system that helps the car recognise if the driver is distracted or drowsy. Volvo says the system will at first softly nudge the driver to help them regain concentration, before becoming more insistent if they fail to do so. If the driver falls asleep or suffers a medical emergency while driving, the car will bring itself to a stop and call for help.

Lastly, as far as technology goes, the EX90 comes as standard with a system for using your smartphone as a key. Once everything is set up, you simply walk up to the car and it’ll recognise your phone, then start a “personal welcoming sequence,” Volvo says, before loading up your driver profile and setting the interior to your preferred configuration.

Volvo says the EX90 is made up of approximately 15 percent recycled steels, 25 percent recycled aluminium, and 49 kg of recycled plastics and bio-based materials, which accounts for about 15 percent of all plastics used in the car.

Finally, the Volvo EX90 is equipped with bi-directional charging technology, where the car’s battery can be used to power other devices, like domestic appliances, other electric Volvos, and even your home. However, Volvo says this feature will be “available in the future, starting with selected markets.”
Also looking to the future, Volvo says the EX90 is its first car that is “hardware-ready for unsupervised driving in the future.”
