Volvo ES90: A Bold Step into the Electric Future

Volvo ES90: A Bold Step into the Electric Future

Volvo has long been synonymous with safety, understated luxury, and forward-thinking design. With the 2025 Volvo ES90, the Swedish automaker fully embraces electrification, presenting a flagship electric sedan that signals the next chapter in Volvo’s evolution. Built on the next-generation SPA2 platform, the ES90 blends refined Scandinavian aesthetics with advanced EV technology and a focus on sustainability.

 

Exterior Design: Clean, Confident, and Timeless

The Volvo ES90 is unmistakably a Volvo, with its minimalist lines, Thor’s Hammer LED headlights, and a sleek fastback silhouette that evokes both elegance and aerodynamic efficiency. The front grille is now a closed-off panel — a signature of Volvo's electric line — while subtle chrome accents and flush door handles emphasize a clean, futuristic look.

Wheelbase: Estimated around 3,100 mm for increased cabin space

Wheels: Aerodynamically optimized 20–21 inch alloy wheels

Lighting: Pixel LED matrix headlamps with adaptive beam control

 

Interior: Scandinavian Luxury Meets Digital Intelligence

Inside, the ES90 offers a premium sanctuary. The cabin showcases Volvo’s commitment to natural, sustainable materials — wool blends, FSC-certified wood, and recycled composites are used extensively. The absence of a transmission tunnel creates a spacious, lounge-like environment.

Display: 15-inch vertical OLED touchscreen powered by Android Automotive OS

Cluster: 12.3-inch digital instrument display + heads-up display

Sound System: Premium Bowers & Wilkins 3D audio with Dolby Atmos

Seating: Ventilated, massaging seats with vegan leather and wool upholstery

 

Powertrain and Performance

 

Powertrain and Performance

 

Volvo’s new electric flagship is expected to offer both single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD variants. Early reports suggest the ES90 will share its powertrain architecture with the EX90 SUV.

Battery: 111 kWh usable capacity (shared with Volvo EX90)

Range: Up to 600 km (373 miles) WLTP

Charging: 250 kW DC fast-charging (10–80% in ~30 minutes)

0–100 km/h: Approx. 4.5 seconds (AWD model)

The ES90 is not just about power — its low center of gravity, air suspension, and refined chassis dynamics aim to deliver a smooth, confident ride.

 

Autonomous and Safety Technology

As expected from Volvo, safety and autonomy are at the heart of the ES90’s development. It comes equipped with the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin processor, LiDAR sensors, and a suite of cameras and radars, enabling advanced driver assistance and Level 3-ready autonomous capabilities.

Pilot Assist 3.0: Enhanced semi-autonomous driving on highways

LiDAR: Mounted discreetly on the roofline for 3D object detection

ADAS Features: Lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise, 360° camera, cross-traffic alert

Interior Radar: Detects if pets or children are accidentally left behind

 

Sustainability: Designed for a Greener Future

Volvo’s pledge to be a fully electric carmaker by 2030 is reflected in every element of the ES90. The vehicle is built in China at Volvo’s ultra-modern, climate-neutral plant, and utilizes recyclable aluminum, steel, and plastics. The brand has also reduced the use of rare-earth metals in the electric motors.

 

Expected Price and Launch

 

While official pricing is still under wraps, industry insiders suggest a starting price of around €75,000–€85,000 in Europe, or $85,000+ in the U.S. market. Deliveries are expected to begin in Q4 2025, with initial launches in Europe and China, followed by North America and select Middle Eastern markets.

 

Volvo ES90 vs. Competitors

 

Volvo ES90 vs. Competitors

 

The Volvo ES90 enters a competitive premium EV segment dominated by the likes of:

Tesla Model S – Faster, but less refined interior and fewer advanced sensors

BMW i7 – More expensive, heavier, with a more traditional luxury approach

Mercedes EQE/EQS – Sleek and luxurious, but Volvo’s minimalist design and sustainability edge may appeal to a different clientele

Lucid Air – Superior range, but Volvo’s legacy in safety and design adds unique value

 

The Volvo ES90 is shaping up to be more than just a premium electric sedan — it's a statement of intent from a legacy automaker that’s confidently adapting to the electric age. With its clean design, high-tech features, and unmistakable Scandinavian charm, the ES90 will likely appeal to discerning buyers who value elegance, innovation, and responsibility.
 

For those seeking a luxury EV that isn’t flashy but exudes quiet confidence and advanced safety, the Volvo ES90 may be one of the most compelling releases of 2025.
