VOLVO LAUNCHES AN ALL-NEW SEDAN! VOLVO ES90 PREMIERE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Volvo ES90 marks a significant return to the sedan segment for the brand, aiming to challenge established luxury electric vehicles. The reviewer highlights its impressive aerodynamic design, boasting Volvo's lowest drag coefficient yet at 0.25, though slightly behind top-tier competitors. Interior luxury is a major focus, with praise for the high-quality, animal-free materials, comfortable seating (front and rear), and the premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The rear seating experience is particularly lauded for its spaciousness and adjustability, creating a cocooning atmosphere, though the high EV floor remains a compromise. Performance is strong across the range, with AWD variants offering up to 680 hp. Charging is efficient thanks to the 800V architecture, enabling 10-80% in just 20 minutes. The fastback trunk design offers good accessibility, though its 390-liter capacity is noted. The reviewer expresses a desire for a simpler user interface but is overwhelmingly impressed by the materials, comfort, and overall luxury package, deeming it competitive even against higher-segment vehicles like the Mercedes EQS in terms of comfort.
