Inside the EX90 you'll find an eco-friendly (think recycled PET materials instead of leather) take on a now familiar EV experience, with a giant central tablet arranged vertically, and a second horizontal screen above the steering wheel replacing the driver’s binnacle. But it all does exude a calming, quiet quality.

The Volvo EX90 is the brand's first EV-first SUV, which means it rides on a dedicated ‘skateboard’-style platforms that maximises cabin space.

That’s most keenly felt in the second row, which can slide forwards or backwards. And even the easy-enough-to-access third row delivers surprising room (provided there are no tall peopNBA players riding the middle row).

The EX90 zero to 100km/h times are 5.9s (Plus) and 4.9s (Ultra).

The EX90 range arrives in two grades, the entry-level Plus Twin Motor and the top-spec Ultra Twin Motor Performance. Both share the same battery and driving range, but the latter produces more grunt.

The Plus rides on 20-inch alloys and there is a fixed panoramic glass roof with an optional sun shade. Then there’s LED lighting outside and inside there are leather-like seats made from mostly recycled plastic, which are heated in the first two rows.

You also get four-zone climate control, a 14-speaker Bose stereo that pairs with a 14.5-inch central screen (vertical) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but also Google built-in, giving you access to native maps and apps. There’s also wireless phone charging and a heated leather steering wheel. The driver’s binnacle has been replaced by a 9.0-inch horizontal screen above the steering wheel.

Stepping up to the Ultra gives you ventilated seats up front, better High Definition Pixel headlights and a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity stereo.

Both EX90 models are twin-motor, AWD affairs, with the Plus delivering a total 300kW and 700Nm, while the Ultra dials it up to 380kW and 910Nm.

Both Volvo EX90 models share the same 111kWh lithium-ion battery, and both promise the same WLTP driving range of 570km, because both claim the same efficiency of 16.9kWh/100km.
