The automotive world is buzzing at the 2025 Volvo EV EX90, calling it the “start of a new era” for Volvo’s position in the EV landscape. This all-electric flagship SUV redefines luxury, sustainability, and technology. Built in Charleston, South Carolina, the EX90 strengthens Volvo’s position in the EV market while meeting local demand and avoiding import tariffs.
The Volvo EV EX90 is a game-changer worth exploring for luxury car buyers seeking innovation and sustainability. Here’s what you need to know about this electric marvel.
What Makes the 2025 Volvo EV EX90 Stand Out?
100% Electric, 100% Elegant
The 2025 EX90 is Volvo’s first top-tier model offered exclusively as an EV, going all in on electrification. It boasts a sophisticated design that balances clean, reductive aesthetics with a focus on sustainability. Its aerodynamic profile, with a low drag coefficient of just 0.29, enhances both style and performance. Notably, its sleek appearance signals an upward move toward a premium market, all while retaining Volvo’s commitment to practicality and safety.
State-of-the-Art Safety Features
Safety has always been Volvo’s hallmark, and the EX90 raises the bar. This is the safest Volvo yet, thanks to the integration of cutting-edge technology, including a roof-mounted lidar system capable of detecting small objects hundreds of meters away, day or night. While the lidar hump might not win design awards, its functionality ensures unparalleled driver assistance and safety.
The SUV is also equipped with interior radars to prevent leaving children or pets behind and includes comprehensive driver monitoring systems. These innovative features complement Volvo’s legacy of protecting passengers and pedestrians alike.
A Sustainable, Luxurious Interior
Inside the EX90, sustainability meets opulence. The Nordico “leather” trim—a material made from recycled plastics and sustainable pine oil—gives the cabin a modern and eco-conscious vibe. The spacious interior includes optional captain’s seats for the middle row and a cavernous trunk equipped with a practical “Will It Fit?” chart for seamless packing.
Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the 14.5-inch central touchscreen running Google’s Android Automotive software. It ensures effortless operation, but Volvo’s elimination of physical buttons in favor of touchscreen controls may divide opinions.
Impressive Range and Practical Charging
The EX90 offers a range of up to 374 miles, making it a suitable choice for both daily commutes and long journeys. It supports fast charging at up to 250 kW, allowing a 10-80% charge in just 30 minutes. While it uses a 400-volt architecture rather than the faster 800-volt systems seen in some competitors, it delivers reliable performance.
However, the lack of vehicle-to-load capability (the ability to power external devices, often seen in other flagship EVs) is a surprising omission. Volvo promises this feature will be added to future models, which might disappoint early adopters.
Made in America, Designed for the World
All EX90 models for Europe and the U.S. will be assembled at their state-of-the-art facility in Charleston, South Carolina. This strategic decision positions Volvo as a competitive player in Western markets, sidestepping tariffs while meeting growing demand for EVs locally.
Volvo’s focus on electrified models is paying off, with sales of EVs and plug-in hybrids growing 40% year-over-year globally. U.S. sales have also seen significant growth, with a 58% increase in electrified models compared to the previous year.
The Start of a New Era
The Volvo EV EX90 truly feels like the beginning of a bold new chapter for the automaker. It successfully blends luxury, safety, and innovation, making it an excellent choice for buyers seeking a sustainable yet premium electric vehicle. While not without a few downsides—such as the polarizing lidar hump, the lack of physical buttons, and the absence of vehicle-to-load capability—it ticks most of the right boxes.
The first deliveries of the EX90 are already en route, and with the momentum of Volvo’s growing global sales, this flagship SUV is poised to cement the company’s reputation as a leader in electrified mobility.
