The electric luxury vehicle market has been lacking in options for those in need of a third-row seat. However, Volvo is changing the game with their upcoming 2025 Volvo EX90. This vehicle is the next generation of Volvo’s popular three-row XC90 crossover, and it offers not only space but also impressive luxury and comfort.
With its tasteful and cocoon-like interior, the EX90 provides a delightful driving experience. It comes in two versions: the Twin Motor and Twin Motor Performance. The former has 408 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque, while the latter boasts an upgraded rear motor and a total output of 517 hp and 671 lb-ft. The acceleration is impressive, with a 0-60 time estimated at 4.7 seconds for the Performance version.
The EX90 also excels in terms of quietness and ride quality. The interior is shockingly quiet, with minimal wind and road noise. While the ride can feel a bit firm with the optional 22-inch wheels, opting for the standard 21-inch wheels provides a more comfortable experience.
In terms of technology, the EX90 features a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google integration, Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms for computing power, and graphics visualization by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine. The Bowers & Wilkins sound system is exceptional, and an Abbey Road Studios setting will be available soon to recreate the sonic environment of the iconic recording studio.
The EX90 also prioritizes safety with its LiDAR sensors, which significantly enhance the vehicle’s ability to detect obstacles. The data collected from these sensors, along with other radar and camera sensors, is processed by a Nvidia-supplied computer. Fortunately, these safety features don’t result in excessive false alarms or overly sensitive nannying.
When it comes to range, the EX90 offers an EPA-estimated range of 300-310 miles depending on the wheel size. While the Tesla Model X and some versions of the Rivian R1S offer slightly better range, the EX90 can be easily charged at home.
In terms of price, the EX90 starts at $81,290 for the Twin Motor trim level and goes up to $85,640 for the Ultra trim level. The Twin Motor Performance version adds $5,000 to either trim level. Leasing the EX90 can provide a $7,500 discount, making it a more affordable option.
Overall, the 2025 Volvo EX90 is a game-changer in the electric luxury vehicle market. It offers the space and comfort of a three-row SUV while delivering impressive performance and technology. If you’ve been waiting for a luxury electric vehicle that can comfortably seat seven, the EX90 is the answer to your prayers.
