Upcoming Volvo EX90 2024, 10 Things You Need to Know

Here are 10 things you need to know about the upcoming Volvo EX90.

Upcoming Volvo EX90 2024

1. This is the most safety-oriented car that Volvo has ever produced

As expected, Volvo has prioritized safety in the development of the EX90. The brand has long been one of the most safety-conscious manufacturers in the automotive world. As many probably know, Volvo even invented a modern seat belt and generously allowed other manufacturers to reproduce this design.
The EX90 implements everything Volvo has learned over the years. With the ambitious goal of producing cars that can't crash in the future, a lot of research and development has been done. To this end, the EX90 is equipped with an "invisible safety shield" that works both autonomously and in conjunction with the driver to reduce the risk of a collision.

2. The Battery Is Huge and Can Power More Than Just a Car

A massive 111 kWh battery is used to power the colossal EX90. Consequently, the EX90 has a very impressive range of 373 miles, especially if you take into account the weight and dimensions of the car. Amazingly, fast charging will allow you to charge the battery by 10-80% in just 30 minutes, which means that worrying about the flight range will be a thing of the past.
One of the features of the installation is that the car supports "bidirectional charging". This technology has a number of potential applications in the future, from balancing the needs of the power grid to powering your home through accumulated off-peak electricity and even transferring a charge to a flat or stuck car.

3. Infotainment Screen Is Huge

In recent years, Volvo models have become well known for their large tablet-style touchscreens. However, the EX90 takes another step in this direction, thanks to the whopping 14.5-inch screen that forms the basis of the car's infotainment system. The configuration leads to an almost complete absence of physical buttons, which not every buyer will like. Google is built into the system, providing access to mapping, Google Play apps and Google Voice Assistant.

4. Has a Lot in Common with Polestar 3

Since the Polestar brand was conceived, there have been many intersections between the cars it produces and those that come from the Volvo factory. The Polestar 3 is no exception, as the car uses the same platform (SPA2) and transmission as the Volvo EX90. Visually, the cars look very similar, especially in terms of lighting.
The similarity persists in the cabin: both cars are equipped with a massive tablet-style display and a barely discernible dashboard configuration. The only real difference is that the EX90 can accommodate up to 7 passengers, while the Polestar can only carry 5.

5. Car is packed with Sensors

Volvo has equipped the EX90 with a really impressive set of sensors. The car constantly uses them to track the world around it and react to it. From radar to cameras and even LiDAR..
The latter stands for "Light Detection and Range Detection System" and is an advanced technology. The system essentially uses light to scan the car's environment, creating high-resolution images. The standard LiDAR. system collects data, which is then calculated using Volvo algorithms. Volvo claims that, unlike humans, its sensors never get tired and are always able to react.

6. There Will Be Several Transmission Options

The starting model will be available in a two-engine configuration with all-wheel drive and will be called "Ultra". The power will be supplied from a 111 kWh battery, and the car's power will be 408 hp.
The "Performance Ultra" model is coming soon, whose power, apparently, will be 517 hp. Acceleration to 0-60 mph in Ultra is possible in less than 6 seconds, and Ultra Performance reaches the same sprint in an impressive 4.7 seconds. The car is not suitable for those who want to really reduce the power, since the maximum speed is limited to only 112 miles per hour, like the rest of the current Volvo line.

7. Environmentally Friendly Materials were widely used

Volvo has always been considered one of the most environmentally-conscious manufacturers, and this is something that has naturally become more important today. Environmental legislation is becoming stricter and consumers are more concerned about the environment than ever. Most of the metal used in the construction of the car has been recycled: 25% of aluminum and 15% of steel have completed their service life. 15% of the plastic used is also derived from a recycled source, which is equivalent to a hefty 105 pounds. Even the seats are upholstered with eco-friendly wool, which reduces the brand's use of leather products.

8. You Can Pre-Order a Car Right Now

Although it is expected that the first EX90 samples will not appear until 2024, this does not mean that you can sit back and relax if you want to get one of them. Volvo's website is now available for pre-orders; however, buyers will not be able to customize their cars until the end of 2023. Given the current situation in the global supply chain and the extremely long production times of cars, we will probably have to wait a long time before the EX90 is on the road.

9. Excellent Carrier

Heavy load capacity has been a strength of many Volvo models over the years. Fortunately, the EX90 continues this trend, and the car is able to accommodate an impressive amount of cargo.
When it comes to passenger transportation, the EX90 is impressive here too: it accommodates up to 7 passengers. The third row conveniently folds completely flat, disappearing into the floor when not required.

10. Is a real luxury car

Volvo has invested heavily in the EX90, and the results are clear. The car is truly luxurious, high-quality materials are used in everything, and the restrained Scandinavian design creates a stylish appearance.
The EX90 is equipped with a 5G data connection as standard, which helps users get the most out of connected applications and provides real-time navigation updates. For music lovers, one of the main advantages of the car is the presence of an exceptional Bowers & Wilkins sound system. Using Dolby Atmos technology, it provides virtually unsurpassed sound reproduction. The speakers are located throughout the cabin and can even be integrated into the headrests
