Volvo EX90 – The Volvo EX90 is not merely an electric counterpart to the XC90. It also embodies the Swedish manufacturer’s major step towards smart mobility, enhanced safety, and eco-friendly luxury. This premium EV for seven people places less importance on pure speed and more on trust, coziness, and taking responsibility for the long term. The first ride already reveals how much the EX90 is developed through protection, tech, and luxurious driving.
Safety
Volvo’s Safe Space Technology enables the EX90 to pioneer a brand new era of proactive safety. The major part of this technology is a LiDAR sensor mounted on the roof that collaborates with cameras, radars, and ultrasonic modules to create a perfect 3D representation of the area around the car. This permits the vehicle to spot obstacles very early, even in complete darkness or very bright sunlight, thus allowing the driver more time to react than ever before.
A smart driver-monitoring system inside the vehicle keeps track of the person’s eyes, the position of his/her head, and the way he/she is holding the steering wheel. If the EX90 detects that the driver is either tired or not paying attention, it gently alerts him/her and if the situation does not change, it increases the alertness. If there is still no reaction, the car can bring itself to a stop safely and remain in the lane. A different radar-based monitoring system inside the vehicle keeps track of the movement of the people inside to make sure no child or pet is left behind by mistake. With all these technologies working together, the EX90 has already achieved a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
Sustainability
Volvo ranks the EX90 as its most environment-friendly product ever. The interior of the car mainly consists of recycled plastics and bio-based materials; thus, the interior gets premium quality without using the traditional leather. The Nordico upholstery, which is made from recycled PET bottles and forestry-based polymers, is soft, strong, and trendy. Besides, Volvo is releasing Life Cycle Assessment reports for its electric vehicles in detail, demonstrating that the carbon footprint gets reduced significantly with renewable energy used for charging the EX90. This openness is an indication of the brand’s enduring sustainability objectives.
Performance
The EX90 is manufactured on Volvo’s SPA platform version dedicated to electric cars only, which it shares with Polestar 3. It incorporates a massive 107 kWh battery pack that provides the luxury of worry-free long-distance travel. The dual-motor performance variant generates about 510 hp and over 900 Nm of torque, which makes the large seven-seater accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4.5 seconds. The EX90 has a low center of gravity due to its battery placement and, in addition, is equipped with four-wheel drive, this makes it feel stable and predictable even though it is a big car. Air suspension and adaptive dampers ensure a smooth and quiet ride, even so, the weight of the battery may be felt sometimes when going over sharp bumps.
Verdict
The Volvo EX90 lives up to its title of the safest and most advanced from Volvo. The exterior design relies heavily on a centralized touchscreen, which may come off as a little bit difficult to get the hang of at first, but the overall atmosphere is posh, quiet, and calming. Advanced safety features, eco-friendly production, high-end performance, and a plush interior altogether make the EX90 the best choice for electric SUVs of the coming era. It has the aura of being a family car that wants to give the highest protection without giving up on comfort or style.
