Stockholm, 10 March 2025 – The new, fully electric Volvo ES90 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 a versatile car that does not compromise on comfort or space.
The ES90 is designed to evolve over time and powered by next-generation core computers that represent an eightfold improvement over the previous generation. It’s the first Volvo car with 800V technology, for a longer range and faster charging than any electric Volvo before.
“The Volvo ES90 combines our most advanced technologies with Scandinavian design and superior comfort, creating a true premium Volvo car designed to elevate your quality of life,” says Jim Rowan, our CEO. “It joins the EX90 SUV as one of our flagship models and cements our position as an industry leader in software-defined cars that harness the power of core computing.”
Confident, distinctive and practical
The ES90 has confident and distinctive stance with a slightly raised ride height to provide the driver with a more commanding view of the road. The flowing roofline balances elegant looks with interior space and contributes to excellent aerodynamics, boosting overall efficiency and electric range.
The front features our 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.
The large and wide tailgate hatch makes it easy to load and unload the family luggage or for a camping trip out of the city. The boot provides up to 424 litres of loading space. The three rear seats can be folded down individually to expand loading space to 733 litres. The 22-litre capacity frunk at the front is perfect for the charging cables.
Comfort and functionality throughout the cabin
Thanks to its long wheelbase of 3.1 metres, the ES90 provides very generous legroom for second-row passengers, making it an exceptionally comfortable place to travel. Six interior ambient light themes for sensory well-being and a variety of upholstery options further allow you to personalise the ES90.
The ES90 also comes with a panoramic roof that provides UV protection of up to 99.9 per cent. If you pick the electrochromic version, you can even adjust the transparency of the glass to reduce glare and boost privacy at the touch of a button.
We’ve crafted the ES90 with superior sound comfort as well. Noise levels inside are very low, which in turn allows you to enjoy the top-of-the-line Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 25 separate high-fidelity speakers throughout the cabin, including headrest and ceiling speakers.
We’ve equipped the ES90 with our new-generation infotainment system with Google built-in, which includes services such as Google Maps, Google Assistant and more apps on Google Play. 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 14.5-inch centre screen display, meanwhile, gives you access to navigation, entertainment, climate, your phone and more. And to help you navigate tight parking spaces, a new 3D view supported by a 360 camera is there to support when you need it.
Regular improvement as standard
The ES90 is built on our 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 our 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 is the first Volvo car to be equipped with a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration, making it the most powerful car we have ever created in terms of core computing capacity. This allows us to further raise the bar on safety and overall performance through data, software and AI.
DRIVE AGX Orin is NVIDIA’s core computer for intelligent cars that orchestrates various essential systems and processes inside the car at ultra-fast speeds. With a high level of computational power – around 508 trillion operations per second (also known as TOPS) – it manages functionalities such as AI-based, state-of-the-art active safety features, car sensors and efficient battery management.
The ES90 also represents the latest in terms of electric systems and battery technology. Our 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 kilometres of range in just 10 minutes at 350 kW fast charging stations and offers a driving range of up to 700 kilometres under the WLTP testing cycle.
Safe Space Technology inside and out
We developed the ES90 to meet our rigorous Volvo Cars Safety Standard, which is building on 55 years of real-world safety research and exceeds official testing requirements.
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 one lidar, five radars, seven cameras and twelve ultrasonic sensors.
This sensor set enables vision beyond human range to help avoid collisions and hazards on the road. The ES90 also has our 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 door opening alert in the ES90 helps to look out for and protect cyclists or pedestrians passing by when you open the doors. And when you’re about to leave the car, the ES90’s full-cabin occupant sensing is there to help you avoid leaving loved ones behind. It can sense submillimetre scale movement, such as the soft breathing of a baby.
The new Volvo ES90 is available for order now in selected markets, with more to be added later this year and into 2026. Download the press kit via es90event.volvocars.com.
