THE 2025 VOLVO EX90 IS AN ULTRA MODERN & SOPHISTICATED LUXURY 3-ROW SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volvo EX90 represents Volvo's ambitious entry into the premium three-row electric SUV segment, aiming to capture the essence of the successful XC90 in a fully electric package. The reviewer highlights its sophisticated and recognizable Volvo design, both inside and out, with a focus on high-quality materials like the Nordico synthetic leather and optional wool blend. Key strengths include a comfortable and quiet ride, excellent seats with an impressive massage function (on the Ultra trim), and a user-friendly Google-based infotainment system, despite some early software glitches and the absence of wireless Apple CarPlay at launch. The performance version delivers brisk acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, comparable to rivals despite its considerable weight. However, the EX90 falls short in cargo space, particularly with the third row in use, and the third-row legroom is tighter than some competitors. The reviewer also notes the lack of ventilated second-row seats and the premium pricing, with the tested Ultra trim nearing $100,000, though it's positioned as a $8,000 premium over the plug-in hybrid XC90. Overall, the EX90 is deemed a worthy, albeit expensive, successor that captures Volvo's core values in a modern EV.
