The all-new, fully electric Volvo ES90 is unveiled

5 March 2025, 21:04:19

Volvo has unveiled the all-new Volvo ES90. It combines the refined elegance of a sedan, the adaptability of a fastback, and the spacious interior and higher ground clearance associated with SUVs. It's the first Volvo car with 800V technology, for a longer range and faster charging than any electric Volvo before. And naturally, it's designed with Volvo's pioneering safety tech at its core, in a package that is set to be another Scandinavian design classic from Volvo Cars.

With orderbooks open now in selected markets, the ES90 is the latest addition to Volvo's balanced product portfolio of premium Volvo cars. It is the sixth fully electric model in Volvo's line-up, joining the EX90, EM90, EX40, EC40 and EX30.

The front features Volvo's Thor's Hammer headlight design, expressing a familiar yet modern Volvo identity. The rear is equally distinctive, with new C-shaped LED rear lamps complemented by LED lamps in the rear window, creating a unique welcome and farewell light sequence. When picking their ES90, customers can choose from seven exterior colors and four wheel options that vary from 20 to 22 inches in size.

The large and wide tailgate hatch makes it easy to load and unload the family luggage or gear for a skiing trip. The boot provides up to 424 liters of loading space. Fold down the three rear seats – all of which can be folded down individually – and the loading space expands to 733 liters. The 22-liter capacity frunk at the front is perfect for the charging cables.

Thanks to its long wheelbase of 3.1 meters, the ES90 provides very generous legroom for second-row passengers, making it an exceptionally comfortable place to travel for adults as well as children. Six interior ambient light themes for sensory well-being and a variety of upholstery options further allow you to personalize the ES90. The ES90 also comes with a panoramic roof that provides UV protection of up to 99.9 per cent. And if you pick the electrochromic version, you can even adjust the transparency of the glass. So if you’re travelling on a warm summer’s day and you want to ‘turn down’ the sun a bit to reduce glare and boost privacy, you can do so at the touch of a button. Added support comes from a four-zone climate system with an advanced air purifier, certified as asthma and allergy friendly. It can stop up to 95 percent of PM 2.5 particulates from entering the cabin and remove 99.9 percent of grass, tree, and pollen allergens.

The audio system has three levels available, the top one being the Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 25 separate high-fidelity speakers throughout the cabin, including headrest and ceiling speakers. The system also features the lifelike spatial audio of Dolby Atmos that delivers an immersive sound experience. Exclusive to the Bowers & Wilkins system is a special mode replicating the sounds of London's legendary Abbey Road Studios.

The 5G-capable, seamless and responsive system is powered by the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies and designed to provide you with all the driving-critical info you need when you need it, through the 9-inch driver display and the head-up display. The new-gen infotainment system with Google built-in is also on board.

The ES90 is built on Volvo's SPA2 architecture and, like the EX90, based on the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack. This consists of one single set of hardware and software modules that will underpin all Volvo's upcoming electric cars. It allows us to improve the overall performance and safety technology in the car throughout its lifecycle and roll them out quickly via over-the-air updates across all models based on the Superset.

The ES90 also represents the latest in terms of electric systems and battery technology. Volvo's new 800-volt technology makes its debut in the ES90, helping to unlock faster charging, a better overall performance and more efficiency. The result is a car that goes further and charges faster than any electric Volvo before. The ES90 can add 300 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes at 350 kW fast charging stations and offers a driving range of up to 700 kilometers under the WLTP testing cycle.

The bold proportions of the ES90 also contribute to the car’s efficiency and translate into a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.25. This illustrates how efficiently a car moves through the air and is the lowest of any car we’ve ever built. The lower the value, the more efficient the car, which for customers means less energy consumption and a longer driving range.

The ES90 comes with a strong safety cage, state-of-the-art restraint systems, as well as optimised deformation zones. The active safety systems are powered by an advanced array of sensors including five radars, seven cameras, twelve ultrasonic sensors, and a lidar from Luminar Technologies.

This sensor set enables vision beyond human range to help avoid collisions and hazards on the road. The ES90 also has Volvo's pioneering driver understanding system as standard, which can detect when the driver’s attention is no longer focused on the road and step in to support.

The new Volvo ES90 is available for order now in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Other markets will be added later this year and into 2026.
