The EX90 was first revealed last November in Sweden and features technologies developed in collaboration with Google and Luminar. These technologies, including a core computer system that becomes more intelligent and safe with time and over-the-air updates, will be demonstrated by all three companies later this week.
The EX90 is equipped with eight cameras and a range of sensors, including one long-range lidar, five radar, and 16 ultrasonic sensors, to provide rapid response and reaction. The lidar technology, developed by Luminar, allows the vehicle to detect small objects at a distance of over 600 feet, even at high speeds and in both daylight and nighttime conditions. In addition, the EX90 features a driver understanding system that uses a capacitive steering wheel and two camera-based gaze sensors to determine the alertness and focus of the driver.
The EX90 features a 14.5-inch center screen with Volvo's latest infotainment system, including built-in Google apps and services such as hands-free assistance from Google Assistant and navigation. The system is also compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay.
The EX90 is available for pre-order in the United States on Volvo's website, with deliveries set to begin in early 2024. Although final pricing has not been announced, Volvo has stated that well-equipped versions of the EX90 will be priced below $80,000. The EX90 will be produced in South Carolina and is part of Volvo's plan to sell 600,000 electric vehicles by 2025. The company is also set to unveil the EX30 later this year.
