VOLVO EX90 FULL TOUR: DETAILED LOOK AT SOFTWARE, SPACE, INTERIOR, POWERTRAIN, BATTERY, & MUCH MORE

EV Channels Review

The Volvo EX90 is presented as a detailed tour of the production-ready model, highlighting its design, interior, software, and specifications. While the vehicle boasts a premium feel, a standout Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and thoughtful interior details like Swedish flags and durable materials, the review heavily emphasizes the significant number of features that will not be available at launch. These omissions include crucial safety functions like lidar-based safety scenarios, cross-traffic alerts, and adaptive cruise control, as well as expected features like Apple CarPlay. The lack of these functionalities, coupled with a high starting price of $79,999, raises concerns about the vehicle being an unfinished product. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewers note the potential for future over-the-air updates to address these shortcomings, but express reservations about the timing and customer satisfaction with such a rollout strategy. The powertrain details reveal a dual-motor setup with a focus on front-wheel drive for efficiency, which contrasts with the EX30's strategy. The interior comfort is generally good, with highly adjustable seats and massage functions, but the absence of cooled seats is a notable disappointment, especially given the price point and competition. The panoramic roof also lacks a shade, leading to excessive heat and light ingress.
