Volvo Ex90 Reviews

The Volvo EX90 Ultra Twin Motor Performance is a sleek, seven-seat electric SUV that blends luxury and tech with everyday practicality. With up to 570km of range, a powerful twin-motor set-up and a cabin full of thoughtful family features, it's Volvo's boldest EV yet. Is this the electric SUV that finally makes seven seats feel premium and practical?

The Ultra Twin Motor acts as the flagship model in the Volvo EX90 range, and lists at $134,990 plus on-road costs.It builds on the entry-level Plus’s equipment list — think four-zone climate control, 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. Then there's wireless phone charging, a heated leather steering wheel — with niceties like ventilated seats up front, better High Definition Pixel headlights, and a wondrous 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity stereo.Like the Plus, the Ultra is a twin-motor, AWD setup, delivering an impressive 380kW and 910Nm — and a sprint to 100km/h of just 4.9s.It nabs an 111kWh lithium-ion battery, and promises a WLTP driving range of 570km.When it comes time to charge, the EX90 is set up for 250kW DC fast charging, meaning 10-80 percent charged in 35mins. At home, a three-phase wallbox will take more like 10 hours. But if yours is only a 7kW connection, it will be slower still.

The Plus Twin Motor is the entry point to the two-model Volvo EX90 range - and we reckon it’s the pick of the bunch. After all, both 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. The sprint to 100km/h times for each are 5.9s and 4.9s respectively.I don’t know about you, but the Plus offers all the performance that I’m looking for in a three-row SUV.The Plus Twin Motor starts at $124,990 plus on-road costs and rides on 20-inch alloys. There is a fixed panoramic glass roof with an optional sun shade, and there’s LED lighting outside.Inside, there are leather-like seats made from mostly recycled plastic, which are heated in the first two rows. Then there's 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 The driver’s binnacle has been replaced by a 9.0-inch horizontal screen above the steering wheel.Interestingly, both EX90 models share the same 111kWh lithium-ion battery, and both promise the same WLTP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. Weird, because more power usually means less efficiency and a smaller driving range.When it comes time to charge, the EX90 is set up for 250kW DC fast charging, meaning 10-80 percent charged in 35mins. At home, a three-phase wallbox will take more like 10 hours. But if yours is only a 7kW connection, it will be slower still.

The 2025 Volvo EX90 is the Swedish premium car brand's new flagship. It's a fully electric alternative to the long-running XC90 seven-seater. So, is the luxurious upper-large SUV that you should buy? We put it to test to find out.

The Volvo EX90 is the company's first entirely in-house-developed and purpose-built electric vehicle, but it's much more than that. Advanced safety and multimedia tech, combined with intelligent interior packaging as well as sophisticated chassis and powertrain engineering, aim to make the Swedish large luxury SUV EV best in class. Not that you'd know all this from its pretty though safe design.
