2024 Volvo EX90 Hands On First Look! (AKA sort of the XC90 EV)

Volvo's all-new and all-electric EC90 is almost here and it looks to be what so many have been waiting for: a 3-row European luxury SUV that just so happens to be electric. Rather than going for an egg-shaped body ala Tesla and Mercedes, Volvo has re-imagined the form of the popular XC90 as a boxy 7-seat EV people mover. Volvo is planning on two power levels: 408 HP and 517 and around 300 miles of range (likely with the lower power level. The interior is the height of Scandinavian chic and since it'll be built in South Carolina, the base versions are likely to qualify for at least some of the federal tax credit.

I m happy to see that the EX90 gets a much needed bump in range over the XC/C40 model(s. I found it strange that Volvo s first two EVs had such drastically lower range when compared to the Polestar 2. Granted the XC/C40 models aren t remotely as aerodynamic as the Polestar, but the Volvo s getting 50 miles less than the 2 is a bit ridiculous.

I'm surprised they didn't go with an EX60 before they did this. I'd think that would be the more popular size. The XC 40 recharge is a bit small and not really very efficient. They will be building this in the USA but it's too expensive to qualify for the Tax credits.

Really excited for this one. My next vehicle will likely be either a base EX90 or a loaded Buzz. It will depend on the features. I m not a fan of staggered tires as it makes rotating a pain. The LiDAR binnacle cries out for either a TAXI sticker or NOT FOR HIRE.

BUT - if you have a rear bump, you re very much instantly in harms way. All the sensors and cameras in the world won t help you.
Would you put your child in row 3? Not me. Especially at 145, 000. Nope.

these car companies seem to keep forgeting that cars must be somewhat affordable (yes even the premium segment) and practical. These full blown futuristic cars are really not aligned with our present.

Finally the Volvo has designed a space to store the roller-styled cargo cover when it is not in use. Now, we just need to confirm if Volvo is finally willing to make the sun visor extendable.

Can't imagine what the take rate will be on those wool seats. Most people buying this are likely to have a family, and nobody with a kid or a dog would ever want wool in a car.

Perfect overview Alex! This looks to be a winner for Volvo. Solid style, great interior and battery tech, and built right here in the US, sign me up!
