Volvo ES90

Inside, the Volvo ES90 offers a very luxurious-looking cabin with loads of high-tech and premium comfort features. You have plenty of room both in the first and second rows–effectively accommodating five passengers. And, on top of this, you also get a generous 424-L of trunk space at the back even with all the seats up. 

Comfort-wise, its seats are very supportive and provide all passengers with top-notch ergonomics. The driver and co-pilot can enjoy heated and ventilated seats with a massage function, while second-row occupants get ventilated and reclining seats. It also comes with a panoramic sunroof for a more aesthetic experience.

Upfront, the driver is greeted by a high-tech cockpit that consists of a digital instrument display and a classy-looking multicontrol steering wheel. In terms of entertainment and information accessibility, this luxury electric sedan comes with a 14.5-inch Snapdragon-powered infotainment display, which is equipped with Google services and is linked to a 14-speaker BOSE sound system for world-class bass and acoustics.

In terms of dimensions, the Volvo ES90 measures 5,037 mm in length, 1,964 mm in width, and 1,744 mm in height. This EV sedan comes with a 3,102-mm ultra-long wheelbase.

From the outside, the Volvo ES90 flaunts a smart, hypermodern design that screams wealth and influence whenever it passes by. Upfront, it has a flare that looks distinct and familiar at the same time courtesy of its LED headlights with Volvo’s iconic ‘Thor’s Hammer’ LED DRLs. Replacing Volvo’s classic black grille is a dynamic-looking front shield, which emphasizes its new-gen personality. It also gets an automatic spoiler shutter underneath the shield for better ventilation and battery cooling.

On the sides, its fastback-like build is very evident. Like its front end, its silhouette has a futuristic feel, accentuated by flush door handles, sharp character lines, and an elegant-looking set of 20-inch wheels. 

Meanwhile, trailing behind this vehicle at night is certainly enjoyable. Its rear end displays a combination of modern elements and design cues reminiscent of the S90. It features a pair of C-shaped LED taillights, which resemble what its internal combustion engine-powered predecessor had in the past. Overall, the ES90’s design looks and feels very aerodynamic.

The Volvo ES90 utilizes an air suspension system. Its suspension setup is very well-tuned for comfort. That said, this electric luxury sedan effectively eats up bumps and other road imperfections inside the city. However, at higher speeds, its suspension has a tendency to be too soft to the point that it feels like its steering is a bit unresponsive. Consequently, body rolls are a bit noticeable inside the cabin when hitting sharp turns or corners quickly. But, overall, the ES90 can deliver a very supple and relaxed riding experience for everyone on board both in the city and on the highway.

The lone Volvo ES90 offered in the country runs on a single permanent magnet synchronous motor that generates a maximum power output of 333 hp and a maximum torque of 480 Nm. Its single electric motor is powered by a 92 kWh battery pack, which offers a driving range of up to 700 km. Using a DC fast charger, its battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes. This luxury electric sedan runs on a single-speed automatic transmission and utilizes a rear-wheel drivetrain.

Despite only having one electric motor, the Volvo ES90 is still very peppy and can deliver a lively pull out on the open road. Since it is all-electric, you won’t have to worry about turbo lags and can just enjoy smooth overtakes on free-flowing highways. In the city, it offers impeccable efficiency even when driving in mixed conditions. 

In addition, thanks to its range, you’ll be able to confidently engage in out-of-town trips with this luxury EV. And, on top of this, it comes with an outstanding NVH suppression system inside, resulting in a very quiet and refined cruising experience even at high speeds.

The Volvo ES90 is equipped with the brand’s Next-Generation Pilot Assist, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and navigation support, as well as 12 ultrasonic sensors, 7 cameras, and 5 radars. This electric luxury sedan utilizes ventilated discs for both front and rear braking.

The Volvo ES90 hits a sweet spot for discerning buyers who want the smooth, refined driving experience of an all-electric sedan while prioritizing practicality and everyday city usability.
