Volvo's streamlined ES90 coupe adopts a strategic approach for the future.
The automotive world is abuzz with the latest offering from Volvo, the ES90, a groundbreaking electric vehicle (EV) that combines the elegance of a sedan, the practicality and style of a fastback, and the spaciousness of an SUV. The ES90 was unveiled at the Artipelag modern art museum on a remote part of the Stockholm archipelago [1].
This new EV, launched in early 2025, embodies a design philosophy of versatility, sustainability, and cutting-edge electric performance. The flowing roofline optimizes aerodynamics, contributing to an impressive electric driving range [1][3].
Key features of the ES90 include:
- Electric Performance and Range: Utilizing 800V technology, the ES90 supports fast charging at 350 kW, enabling it to add 300 km of range in just 10 minutes. It offers a WLTP driving range of up to 700 km, reflecting one of the longest ranges available for a Volvo EV [1][3].
- Powertrain Options: The ES90 is available with single-motor rear-wheel drive (around 654 km range), a twin-motor all-wheel drive (700 km range), and a high-performance variant producing 680 hp with a 700 km range [3].
- Interior and Comfort: The interior features sustainable materials such as Nordico upholstery made from recycled textiles and bio-attributed fibers. Equipment varies across three grades: Core, Plus, and Ultra. Core models include four-zone climate control and heated seats; Plus adds features like a heads-up display, 360° camera, and Bose premium sound; Ultra trims feature an electrochromic panoramic roof, ventilated seats, active air suspension, and a Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 25 speakers [3].
- Technology and Computing: The ES90 is powered by next-generation core computers that are eight times more powerful than previous Volvo models, facilitating advanced infotainment, driver aids, and software updates [1].
- Sustainability: Built using recycled materials, the ES90 is designed as a cleaner, more environmentally friendly vehicle, achieving up to 50% lower emissions in its lifecycle compared to comparable models [4].
- Exterior Design: The fastback silhouette with slightly raised ground clearance delivers an elegant yet confident stance and enhances aerodynamic efficiency for improved range and performance [1][3].
The ES90's central portrait-shaped 14.5" user interface screen is powered by Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms and Qualcomm, and includes Google Maps and Waze, as well as Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Regular 'over the air' software updates are planned for the ES90 to keep its software modern over its lifetime [1].
The ES90 is available for ordering this month, with production set to start in late summer. The starting price for the ES90 is £69,650 [1]. For more detailed specifications, including prices and performance figures, visit VolvoCars.com [1].
