Volvo EX90: electric SUV, generations and trims
Volvo EX90 — a large electric seven-seater SUV, introduced in 2022 and on sale from 2024. We look at what makes it special, which powertrain options are available, how the trims differ, and what to check when buying a used EX90.
EX90 in brief
The EX90 is Volvo’s flagship and the first model on the new SPA2 platform. It features three rows of seats, a spacious interior, and a strong focus on safety: the car is equipped with advanced sensors, including a lidar, and a powerful computing system.
The interior is minimalist, controlled by a large vertical screen running a Google-based system. Six or seven seats are available.
Versions — what’s the difference
The car is offered with two electric motors and all-wheel drive, with a later addition of a more affordable single-motor version. The more powerful Twin Motor Performance variant boasts impressive acceleration.
As the model is still new, it’s trickling into the used market. Early cars had their software actively updated, so it’s crucial to verify that all updates have been applied.
Engine, battery and charging
The EX90 has a large-capacity battery, with a WLTP-rated range of around 600 km in the best versions. Real-world range depends on speed, weather conditions, and load.
The car supports fast DC charging, and some versions can even feed energy back into the grid or home. There’s no gearbox — the electric vehicle has a single gear.
Like other electric vehicles, battery condition and warranty are crucial, so when buying, ask for an inspection report.
What to check when buying a used EX90
Request a high-voltage battery condition report and check if the manufacturer's warranty is still valid. Test AC and DC charging.
Check the operation of the screen, advanced safety systems, and sensors, and ensure the software is updated to the latest version. Inspect all three rows of seats.
Make sure all charging cables and keys are included in the handover.
