Our dedicated community knows that while transitioning to electric mobility requires detailed review of the finest details and this flagship SUV doesn’t disappoint. Our team got behind the wheel of the Volvo EX90. Let’s find out how the car performed in the real-world conditions and the overall experience of driving this premium SUV.
Volvo EX90 Drive Experience
Driving the drive, Volvo EX90 feels like riding a spaceship, as the acceleration is so seamless. Despite its massive dimensions and heavy battery pack attached to the floorboard, the torque is instant and it drives smoothly.
Suspension: Volvo has smartly managed the sheer weight of this three-row SUV brilliantly as the dual-motor setup generates exceptional power output that pushes you back into the seat, without aggressive jerks. It also comes with an air-suspension that glides smoothly over the road imperfections, delivering a comfortable yet luxurious ride quality.
Handling: If we talk about body roll, it is quite evident while pushing the SUV into the corners, but this luxurious family-oriented SUV likes to be driven smooth and provides absolute comfort especially on longer highway runs, as it is not a track car that gives you confidence on the corners but provides you with extreme comfort and plushness.
Range Anxiety? Not with 627KM on Tap
In terms of numbers, the Volvo EX90 comes powered with a substantial battery that provides an impressive 627 Km of range on a single charge. During the drive, even with climate control blasting and driving modes switched on, the real-world efficiency was terrific.
But what about the charging performance of the EX90? Volvo has given a deep thought on this and introduced 800V tech architecture, which has improved charging performance dramatically. Now you can charge from 10-80% in just 20 mins via DC fast charger.
The Advanced Next-Gen LiDAR Safety
Volvo is known for its exceptional safety and the EX90 takes this legacy further by introducing a highly advanced LiDAR system that is attached to the windshield. What it does is it automatically detects pedestrians, cyclists, and debris hundreds of meters away, and can spot them in complete darkness.
The EX90 also comes with a 14.5-inch central infotainment screen that controls the majority of the functions in the cabin, thus Volvo EX90 makes you feel secure. The LiDAR acts like your reliable co-pilot that is always active.
Volvo EX90 Interiors
On the inside, the occupants will enjoy absolute comfort, all thanks to the eco-friendly interiors. The cabin is crafted with premium, sustainable materials that provides a minimalistic luxury feeling. The front and second row seats offer ample legroom, while the third-row is quite compact, ideal for kids only. The everyday practicality is just unmatched.
The Final Verdict
If you want unmatched safety, 800-Volt fast charging capabilities and a plush ride, then the EX90 is the ultimate electric SUV. Volvo has truly set a benchmark for flagship SUVs and is a perfect choice for those looking for a luxury SUV.
