It's been almost two years since Volvo unveiled the EX90, but it's only now going into production, in June 2024. Originally, Volvo was supposed to start delivering its new flagship EV in early 2024. However, the company had to delay the launch of the SUV in order to fix some remaining software issues.
The first customer-bound EX90 to roll off the Charleston line was a Denim Blue painted model destined for a customer in the United States later this year.
The EX90 debuts in November 2022 as the brand's new three-row electric flagship, and a companion to the gas-powered XC90 already in Volvo's lineup. It rides on a new platform with a 111.0 kilowatt-hour battery, with the Twin Motor Performance trim making 509 horsepower.
The entry-level Twin Motor trim, which starts at $77,990 (the price includes the $1,295 destination charge), produces 402 horsepower.
The automaker also packed the EV with sensors and technology, claiming it is the safest Volvo model ever. The car has a 360-degree external camera, five radar sensors and 16 ultrasonic sensors, all designed to help the vehicle see the world around it and allow the driver to react more quickly. Inside, a 14.5-inch center infotainment screen features built-in Google apps and services.
Volvo produces the EX90 alongside the S60 sedan. The company's factory can build up to 150,000 cars a year, part of the company's strategy to sell 600,000 EVs by 2025.
