Volvo is preparing a new generation XC90 that will occasionally become 100% electric: so it will change its name to become Volvo EX90. While waiting for the official presentation, the Swedish manufacturer is gradually revealing its strengths with a campaign of teasers that allow you to reveal details in photos and videos.

After revealing its recycled materials, the details of its technological interior, or the details of its two-way charging system, here are some the first images of the exterior style Volvo EX90!

Volvo EX90: elegant style

The new Volvo EX90 has been designed so that form, function and technical innovation create perfect harmony. The future Swedish SUV will be the new flagship of the brand that will drive a lot of technology which fit perfectly into its particularly restrained design.

It features clean lines, flush door handles, a full grille or even full rims in a machined style for optimize aerodynamics. Large glazed surfaces, as well as a panoramic glazed roof, allow you to bring great lighting into the interior for the benefit of life on board.

Volvo EX90: integrated technologies

As standard, the Volvo EX90 will be equipped with a LiDAR sensora remote sensing system equipped with a pulsed laser that allows you to accurately measure distances: in particular, it will be able to detect pedestrians at a distance of up to 250 meters.

This is an important element for the operation of on-board safety systems, as well as autonomous driving functions built into the roof car, in the upper part of the windshield: “Integrating LiDAR in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and optimal from a safety perspective was a real design challenge. These are the eyes of the car, and while it would have been possible to place them flush with the grille, which would have been the equivalent of having the eyes at knee height, it made much more sense to place them as high as possible to optimize the field of vision. That’s why, together with our engineers, we decided to integrate it into the roof to maximize its efficiency.”– says T. John Mayer, Head of Exterior Design at Volvo Cars.

Volvo EX90: optimized range

To optimize its 100% electric range, Volvo has worked especially hard on the curves of the EX90 to make it even more efficient, taking care to reduce drag and wind resistance: the result is a clean, smooth and tapered surface to reduce drag. .

The design of the front is sleek and sophisticated, while the integrated windows and door handles allow for the best possible air circulation in the rear. Thanks to this work, the Volvo EX90 displays a The drag coefficient is 0.29excellent ratio for a seven-seater large SUV.

The upcoming 100% electric Volvo EX90 will be official presented on November 9, 2022.

When form follows function, the best cars take form. Get ready to meet the Volvo EX90, our new all-electric flagship SUV. Soon. #SafetyInMind pic.twitter.com/w0IMbex8hT
