A shame it's not built on a purpose-built EV platform. We own an XC90 and was looking forward to buying the EX90 but we will instead be getting a Rivian R1S. The Rivian offers better performance, technology, software, and more space. Love that with the Rivian you can have 360 view and the rear camera displayed at the same time and with such a long front end, the EX90 offers no useful frunk, unlike the Rivian. We use the frunk-space all the time on road trips with our other vehicle which is an EV. Also the 4. 7s 0-60 is disappointing when the Rivian reaches 60 in half the time and even the Volvo EX30 offers much better performance. A missed opportunity for Volvo and this coming from a Volvo customer who loves the brand. Wish I could get the seats and the sound system of the EX90 in the Rivian but that's about all the Volvo is better at. The Rivian R1S is a better vehicle for the money.

Its kinda absurd how much more combined legroom is in the EV9 and headrow in the third row for the EV9 over this EX90. I had they made the hood a couple inches shorter and really wished the extra length was put into the wheelbase. The normal XC90 was fine for a car being 195 inches and a long hood. But with an EV spave could be utilized so much better. Its still extremely nice and id rather have it over like a 2. 0T GLE or even the current XC90 T5/6 engines. But no doubt they could have done a bit more. Aside from the smaller battery, i think id rather have the EV9.

You need to provide the manufacture of battery they are using for any EV now on. In Korea, Chinese made battery was installed in the EQE and it started fire while car was parked - not charging. Also, depends on the origin of Battery you may not qualify for the EV rebate. Please note that owner of Volvo car is not Sweden, but it is Chinese company. Also, please provide where this particular Volvo is manufactured. This car may come from China, not Sweden. I don't want to buy Made in China Volvo.

It seems like a nice car overall but I definitely am not a fan of the ship now, fix later mindset this Volvo has. They have a whole list of issues the cars will initially be shipping with, including no CarPlay, missing safety features, and considerable phantom drain. This car should not be shipping in this state, they should’ve spent more time making it complete before shipping to people paying full price for an $80k SUV.

Volvo is my pick hands down, why
4, 850 pounds
Using this power, the Volvo EX90 has an estimated maximum towing capacity of 4, 850 pounds when properly equipped, while the Tesla Model Y can tow up to 3, 500 pounds, but only when the available tow hitch is added to the model. That means you'll only unlock this capability with an additional purchase.

It is a nice looking car, but this is why I cancelled my reservation. With the price increase, why am I waiting for these features plus the delays in production and delays in features
I think I would still consider this but I am waiting for preliminary Lucid Gravity reviews.

For a safety obsessed company, don't they understand that having more and more vehicle controls buried in the infotainment system is more unsafe
And what's with the stinginess when it comes to buttons and knobs Do they really think Tesla controls are safer than their own designs

How is the throttle & brake feeling The current 2016-2024 XC90 are not confidence inspiring or exact feeling. The gas pedal is a bit numb feeling and the brake pedal is the same. Getting the Polestar performance program does help the feeling a bit but it's still not good.

Always surprised all the manufactures just refuse to put the Tesla plug on their car. It's like if callphone companies insist on keeping Micro-USB port while all the cables are USB-C
Geely needs to bring Volvo engineering to China. Europe is falling behind Korea too much

For a brand that's so focused on safety, it's a shame to see the needlessly complicated controls (window switches, seat controls. Stuff like that makes it hard to recommend to safety-obsessed normies who tend to be their target audience.

I can’t believe the innovation here! Nobody else makes a massive, overpriced, ugly, and horribly proportioned 3-Row Electric SUV!
Wait there’s like 7 competitors and they’re all selling poorly
Ah.

What is the advantage of the glass roof BESIDES design Seems like it will only let heat in especially without a shade. Is the glass heavier than a regular roof I like a sunroof but glass roof seems like a waste

I like that the EX90 has most of what made the XC90 so enjoyable but I just wish they kept more physical controls, I feel like the current gen SPA models have a better blend of physical and software controls

I'm a big Volvo fan and agree, physical buttons need to come back. All the control via a screen is a fun party trick but it's just bad practical design.
