IS IT A FASTBACK? IS IT A HATCHBACK? IS IT AN SUV? NO, IT'S THE ALL-NEW VOLVO ES90
Volvo has just pulled the wraps off its latest EV, the ES90, a machine that blends the best of a sedan, a fastback, and an SUV into one sophisticated, adventure-ready package. This isn’t just another electric car; it’s a statement of effortless Scandinavian elegance, offering space, versatility, and a tech-laden experience that seamlessly integrates into both your work and personal life. From the outside, the ES90 strikes a confident pose. It rides slightly higher than your average sedan, giving the driver a more commanding view of the road, while its sleek, flowing roofline ensures aerodynamic efficiency. Up front, the signature Thor’s Hammer LED headlights give it that unmistakable Volvo identity, while at the rear, a new C-shaped LED light design, paired with rear window illumination, creates a striking visual signature - especially during the welcome and farewell light sequences. Customers can choose from seven exterior colors and four wheel options ranging from 20 to 22 inches, ensuring a setup that fits both style and practicality. Functionality is key in the ES90, and Volvo has made sure there’s plenty of it. The large tailgate makes loading luggage or gear for a road trip a breeze, with a generous 424-litre boot that expands to 733 liters when the three rear seats - each individually foldable - are laid flat. Need a spot for the charging cables? There’s a handy 22-liter frunk up front. Step inside, and the ES90 greets you with an environment of premium comfort and understated luxury. Designed with authentic materials and purpose-driven ergonomics, it embodies Volvo’s Scandinavian ethos. The 3.1-meter-long wheelbase ensures ample legroom for all passengers, making long journeys a pleasure. A choice of upholstery options and six ambient lighting themes let drivers tailor the interior to their liking, creating a calming, refined space that complements every drive.
While Volvo hasn’t released power figures, it’s clear that the ES90 isn’t just about raw performance - it’s about intelligent efficiency. It debuts Volvo’s 800-volt technology, bringing faster charging and improved range. Capable of adding 300 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes at a 350 kW fast charger, the ES90 offers up to 700 kilometers of driving range under the WLTP cycle. It’s the fastest-charging and longest-range electric Volvo yet, designed to make range anxiety a thing of the past. True to Volvo’s DNA, safety remains at the core of the ES90. Its strong safety cage, state-of-the-art restraint systems, and optimized deformation zones provide a solid foundation. But it’s the suite of advanced sensors - including five radars, seven cameras, twelve ultrasonic sensors, and a lidar unit from Luminar Technologies - that takes safety to a whole new level. These systems enable the ES90 to see beyond human range, detecting and avoiding potential hazards before they become a problem. The driver understanding system, fitted as standard, ensures that if your attention wavers, the car is ready to step in. Volvo’s Safe Space Technology extends beyond driving. The ES90’s door opening alert looks out for cyclists and pedestrians, preventing accidental collisions when exiting the car. Meanwhile, the full-cabin occupant sensing system is a lifesaver - literally. Using ultra-sensitive sensors, it can detect even the faintest movements, like the soft breathing of a sleeping child, ensuring no one is accidentally left behind. With order books open in selected markets, the ES90 joins Volvo’s growing EV lineup alongside the EX90, EM90, EX40, EC40, and EX30. As one of Volvo’s new flagship models, it embodies the brand’s future: software-driven, safety-focused, and effortlessly stylish. For those who want an electric car that doesn’t compromise on versatility, luxury, or intelligent technology, the ES90 is ready to deliver.
