The Volvo EX90 has finally arrived in Australia as the all-electric successor to the highly successful XC90. This premium seven-seat SUV represents a major step forward for Volvo, built on the new Scalable Product Architecture 2 (SPA2) electric vehicle platform, which it shares with the closely related Polestar 3. The EX90 is not just an electrified version of its predecessor; it’s a ground-up design that pushes the boundaries of safety, luxury, and technology.

The Australian lineup for the EX90 consists of two dual-motor, all-wheel-drive variants, both equipped with a substantial 111 kWh (107 kWh usable) battery pack. This large battery gives the EX90 a competitive WLTP driving range of up to 570 km.

• The entry-level Plus variant, priced from $124,990 plus on-road costs, is powered by a dual-motor system that produces a combined 300 kW and 770 Nm of torque. This is enough to propel the large SUV from 0-100 km/h in a swift 5.9 seconds.
• At the top of the range is the Ultra Twin Motor Performance variant, priced from $134,990 plus on-road costs. This model ups the power to a massive 380 kW and 910 Nm of torque, which cuts the 0-100 km/h sprint time to an impressive 4.9 seconds.

Both variants come with a comprehensive list of standard features, including a stunning 14.5-inch central infotainment screen powered by Google, a panoramic glass roof, and a suite of advanced safety features. A key highlight is the EX90’s “Safe Space Technology” which uses a combination of cameras, radars, and a LiDAR sensor to create a 360-degree real-time view of its surroundings, making it one of the safest Volvos ever built.

With its blend of performance, luxury, cutting-edge technology, and a focus on safety, the Volvo EX90 is a formidable new competitor in the premium seven-seat electric SUV segment.
