This is the latest addition to the electric Volvo family: The EX90 will soon support the C40 and XC40 Recharge (both collected in Europe, in Brussels). This giant will replace the large SUV of the XC90 family. This one will ditch this new electric version. The manufacturer announced this a long time ago, in 2030, it will sell exclusively electric models. A profound change of direction that prompts him to reinvent the philosophy of his cars. And this is far beyond the simple mutation of energy. For example, he suggests more and more recycled fabrics or vegetable leather in their cars. Overall, Volvo takes care of its passenger cabins to make them more zen and sophisticated than before. This new Volvo EX90 is therefore innovative in many ways signs a manifesto about the future of the brand.

More natural, more Zen, more comfortable

The brand recently announced first introduced SunLike LED lighting technology in its EX90 SUV. This differs from the blue light commonly used in the interior in that it mimics sunlight. Offering a more natural light reproduction. Designed to make traveling more enjoyable, SunLike LEDs also respond (Volvo commits) to safety challenges. Having a less dazzling effect than blue light, they are less tiring to the eyes over time. They make it possible to quickly adapt to natural lighting when leaving the car. Specifics designed for Sweden, which is sometimes only entitled to a few hours of sunlight in the winter. This innovation will be available on the Volvo EX90 and later its Polestar 3 cousin. So with this model, Volvo wants to add a more ecological aspect to its way of thinking and designing its models.

A victim of his success, despite the elite fare

IThe EX90 is based on the SPA2 electric platform of the Chinese manufacturer Geely, owner of Volvo. It offers a choice of two configurations: rear-wheel drive with one motor or integral with two motors (one for each axle). Depending on the version, power ranges from 408 to 517 horsepower (in the Performance trim). It is already available to order in France, selling for at least €107,900. A very high price that did not repel customers: it makes a great launch! To the point that Volvo closed its order books due to too much influx. her Plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina (USA) will not be able to keep up at this pace. The brand initially counted on relatively low production rates to test the market. She did not expect such a request. Therefore this suspension of orders is temporary and Volvo will have to adapt its logistics to match this success.
