LIVING WITH A $94,000 VOLVO EX90

EV Channels Review

The Volvo EX90 Twin Motor Performance Ultra, priced at $94,000, is a technologically advanced, luxurious, and comfortable flagship electric SUV. The reviewer praises its sleek Scandinavian design, high-quality interior materials, and exceptionally impressive Bowers & Wilkins sound system, calling it one of the best in any car. The ride quality, aided by air suspension, is noted as very smooth and quiet, even on poor road surfaces. Positives also include the intuitive driver assistance features and the availability of Apple CarPlay, a rarity in many new EVs. However, the reviewer highlights several drawbacks: the key card system is deemed inconvenient and unreliable, the omission of cooled seats on this top trim is a significant disappointment, and the third-row legroom is insufficient for taller adults. While the EX90 offers a serene driving experience, its real-world range, estimated around 300 miles but potentially less due to charging habits and larger wheels, is considered a weak point compared to some competitors. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests the XC90 plug-in hybrid might be a more practical choice for some, but the EX90 is a strong contender for those fully committed to EVs, provided range concerns are addressed or charging infrastructure is robust.
