- Join Andrei Nedelea, our European Editor, as he gives us our first look at the 2024 Volvo EX90.
Volvo was one of the first automakers to announce that it plans to shift from internal combustion-engined vehicles to EVs, setting the goal for itself to only sell battery-powered models after the year 2030. Currently, the Swedish automaker (owned by China’s Geely) only has two EVs in its lineup, the C40 and XC40, with the latter also available with ICE power, but today it unveiled its first ground-up electric model, the EX90, a model built on a bespoke EV platform.

The best thing about this design is it makes the xc90 age really well. The XC90 will not get old for the next 10-15 years.
вольво же китаиское авто
@@вернитееврееввпустыню XC90 is produced in Goteborg in Sweden and soon in Carolina USA. NOT in China. However the phone on which you are writing your comment on, is made in China.
@@danishviking6254 давно китаицы выкупили вольво, уже вольво все знают что китаиское авто.
Its ugly as fuck now and will be ugly as fuck in 10 years. Nothing will change youre right
Every car design gets long in the tooth at some point
The designs coming out of volvo and polestar are incredible.
Love this car. Can't wait to get one of these out on the road and have a drive ☺️
A drag coefficient of 0.29 is what I have heard.
Wow, those headlights are going to be craaaazy expensive to replace😄
4:21 Why switch tracks (music) far away from the driver, why should he reach to the far corner of the tablet?
Volvo delivers absolute elegance ✨
3:52 The white piece below the rear window is not vertically aligned with the rest of the panels
You didn't show much of the rear interior. Is the back a bench seat that folds to access the 3rd row? Are captain's chairs available in the middle row? What available options are there?
I have one on order and they haven't communicated ANYTHING
Those headlights... very futuristic I like it
So if Volvo is going all electric, what’s the point of Polstar?
everywhere I've read and watched said 300 mile range 372 would be ideal! infotainment screen needs to rotate for streaming while charging or waiting etc. Also wish these manufactures would not tease so far in advance such a long wait now
I agree that 372 would be a game changer. Their website says 300, but it's still not out yet. That extra 72 miles makes a big difference.
And it's limited to 180km/h.
I have an old XC90 and would love this new one. Thanks for the video!
Are those embedded lights in the wood trim configurable multi color led? That would be a first for Volvo, finally having that type of ambient lighting. No, the dim light in the ceiling doesn't count.
I don’t think so. Polestar stated they wouldn’t do it in their cars so I imagine Volvo would be of a similar mindset.
i'm im love with the evolution of the thor headlights....
'There's no style for style's sake here'
Overly-complex headlights with moving parts for strictly aesthetic reasons have entered the chat
Is it really necessary to use the words, "first look" and "debut" in the same sentence? Debut means first look. A first look, would be a debut. That's what they mean.
I like that they didn't make a fake grill but leave a clear front.
looks better in video than in the promotional photos. Color choices are rather bland. I also wish the wheels weren't so blatantly EV.
Everybody wanna look like a Cadillac traveling down the road I see. I like the rear exterior design. 😎
I don’t know, the EX90 doesn’t really look a lot like the Lyriq’s side profile. If that’s what you’re referring to
I don't care how sleek and awesome this car look. Focus more on reliability! My Hybrid xc90 2022 is beautiful. However, already had to replace a battery.
Because you had to replace a battery Volvo is not reliable? God... people these days. You drive an xc90 and you are this salty in life?
Thanks for the video. My first thought is that this car needs some seasoning looks wise. Those wheel’s definitely lack the wow factor imo. I’m glad the wheel covers are removable and their are other sizes. Something at least similar to the R Design would change the whole profile of the vehicle imo. I’d also need to see this in different colors. Looking forward to seeing the other models once they’re released also.
Nice to see a CCS standard. 💯
I'm curious if you learned anything about the cold weather range details of this car? This is my major concern about going electric in Canada.
its a volvo
I’m probably replacing my xc90 t8 with a Rivian r1s instead of one of these
Whoever designs current Volvo's need to do a supercar.
Did you say that the wool will be the only option for interior upholstery??? I was about to put in a reservation but I can’t imagine a light upholstery with kids and a dog😢😢😢
Wool or Nordico, a leather-like material.
They are saying this will be a $100k+ in my country, which makes it too expensive and won’t even qualify for ev rebates 😣
A sharp, conservative design language that meshes well with the current demographic. Volvo should do well in this segment.
What is the price ?
I like the front. Badge is something instead of the flat nothing Teslas do.
when I first heard about the price I was like I'm out but now I understand seeing this video the amount of features is insane engineering. It's great but I'm not sure how anyone can forget a child in the back seat the system is so sensitive to beable to detect small dog panting. Don't get me wrong this is beautiful.
XC90 looks better. Inside and out.
Wait, 1.5 hours to full charge but isn't what you're supposed to do hit like 80% and move? What's the time to get to that? I think with the EV6 you get to 80% in like 20 minutes
If you listen again, he says that it's with slower charging ports, ie not something Volvo decides.
@@phanaticz if it does 10% to 80% in 30 minutes on a slower charging port that's fantastic. I'm assuming slower charging port would be what's the norm that's out there for now then.
At a 50 kW charger you have to wait for more than 2 h for it to fully charge.
it can only charge up to 50kW???
@@ilythiaAO No, it charges up to 250 kW, but only from certain chargers that provide sufficient amperage.
you're not going to wait for a full charge at a 50kW though, get it to like 60 percent and move on
In the video they say it takes a bit more than 1,5h to fully charge it from a 50 kW charger. I'm just saying that's not correct. It takes at least 2h 10 min, probably a bit more since it slows down in the end. 10-80 percent takes around 1,5h. How long you stay at the charger, maybe just partial charging depends on lots of things. I just want to get the charging times correct.
@@neaorin unless that 50kw charger is at a shopping center or movie theater. Somewhere at a public destination, people spend a long time at anyway. Parking garages at airports, office buildings, etc.
beauty of a car and the tech is next level
Nice looking car overall but I don't want an expensive iPad that just happens to have wheels on it so it can double as a car. I prefer a car. That huge tablet glued to the dash is distracting and unsafe. I own a 2018 S90 and don't need all that extra crap like I'm flying a space shuttle. What also gets me are these mileage ratings. Those ratings drop considerably if you have a couple of adult passengers riding with you and a little cargo. These vehicles are still not for distance driving.
I'm not really a fan of this style of "review". A press junket showing off a hand built car, with everything carefully curated by the marketing department. Let's wait till we see actual production vehicles on the road and how they perform in real world conditions. It's an EV so it will be good but how does it stack up against the competition?
Súper cool like it
Pretty. I could see myself in one of these.
Are you left handed or just used to using the screen with your left hand since the steering wheel in the UK is on the right side?
I was holding the camera with the other hand :)
@@OneTireFire haha of course 😅
I still want the metal grills!
Cost?
Volvo did not do as good a job presenting the car as Polestar did. It's a fine car. But, Polestar had, I think, 3 hand-built pre-production cars on display with different trim levels. Volvo only had one. And Polestar provided a lot more information. Also, the Volvo presentation was, I guess very Swedish, but was very boring in many ways. Still, this car is impressive in that it has minimalism but still a lot of fine details. I will be glad when the big-screen trend is over and attractive multi-function buttons come back in vogue.
Yes, volvo does have more conservative buyers but in order to enter a larger, broader market they need to be daring.
They may in other models, like the coupe versions of these crossovers.
What sneakers are you wearing!?
Puma Suede Bloc.
Looks like iron man. I love it. I don’t like the LiDAR bump, wheels, or the weird side view mirror mounts. As long as I can lower it, count me in.
I want to know if the 24' gas version will look the same
It won't. The new version is electric only.
@@mathiasman too early to say that.
@@buravan1512 The brand is going all electric by 2030. Volvo is not going to build a MY2024 gas version of this.
I'd like to get it now, next year might bring more competition and this might not be seen as awesome.
beautiful.
🤤 Love it!
Hope there will be some EX60 R-design, because I love our My19 R-design... Sharp shapes, aggresive design... Plus hope the Google system will be fixed till the release of EXs... Now its terrible - my friend has xc60 my22 t8 instead of my18 V60 and she is complaining all the time... not worth the money with so many bugs! Plus, I NEED the leather! Cannot imagine, how I will go out from forest cutting wood and sit to that textile seats...
Volvo is following VW, using two buttons to control 4 windows+1 extra to toggle between front/rear. 5:12
sad thing is you still have to deal with the crappy Non-Tesla charging network. arghh
I would rather get R1S for similar price. More space and rugged SUV.
Beautiful
Superb
Gorgeous
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It will be the first non-Tesla that uses the SuC Network at its max capabilities. 🤷♂️
Strange, because the 30min 10-80% will then be dependent on battery temp and the EVSE. People won’t understand why a Taycan can get 270kW at a 350kW station but Volvo can’t get 250kW at the same station. Either this or Volvo knows something about the evolution of CCS connectors that might happen in the next 18months. 🤷♂️
EVSE Is only used for AC charging
Roof bump.... yikes
Hmm. Not sure I like it. It's a bit too minimalist
£96,000 are you mad? There are Chinese brands for £30,000 of similar size. They would cost £40 to £50,000 exported. No Volvo badge is worth an extra £40,000! World has gone mad.
Iam from Indian, kerala. I love Volvo car..
FLOOOPPPP!
headlights look cool until it breaks and costs $2,000 to fix. That's "minimalist". jeez. KEEP IT SIMPLE PLEASE.
Ummm. There is this thing called a warranty.
Stop complaining about a car you can’t afford anyway 😂
this car is just simply not for your budget mate 😂
Luxury cars from 6 years ago had headlights that cost $3500 to replace. Nothing new
I hope they release a non luxury version that skips the LiDAR, tablet, fancy headlights/handles for half the price. Frankly I don’t want inward facing cameras and I really don’t like tablets for controlling everything.
If this car is electronic i cant just build my own tbh
Tú é louco pensa no motoca nas entregas do infood a milhão bate e quebra esse retrovisor é fuga na certa.
Instead of EVs idling in storage lots unsold, try auctioning them off.
I am curious about the EX90 carbon footprint built in China. The Polestar 2 produce 25 tons of CO2 which is gigantic and the EX90 is even larger and has a much bigger battery !!!
EX90 Lifting XC 90
I will get one for myself ❤️✅
Not even close to a Tesla on the features. Maybe more luxurious. Disappointed
Why isn't this a Polestar?
Because Polestar has the Polestar 3.
@@cypvh74 My understanding is that Polestar would be the EV brand and Volvo focus on hybrids and plugins.
@@dacna01 Both going all EV. Polestar is the company for more performance oriented models.
Will be downgrading to this from a 2022 model X. The falcon doors, autopilot, acceleration, and tech is great, but not worth the $160k. Also hate that the second row seats have such rigid and basic functionality. I hope the EX90 comes with an option for captains chairs in the 2nd row!!
We are officially entering the 'screen' world, computer screens, smartphone screens, tablet screens, TV screens, and now screens in the car.
I was at a gas station, the entire pump was a huge tv. You touched the screen to pick octane level to pump gas.😊
Front end is horrible. Looks like a Tesla. Needs some sort of something that breaks up the front end.
it's a Polestar SUV
Does it have a frunk and a transmission tunnel?
The video clearly showed the frunk. As for a transmission tunnel, presumably not, since unlike the C40/XC40/P2 which pack battery cells into theirs, the EX90's battery is flat.
It has a flat floor. No "transmission" tunnel.
It is dual motor, why would it need a transmission tunnel?
awesome, as not user leather (no animal is torched to get the hides)
Looks very bland, dated and cheap looking. The interior sadly follows Volvo's design plan to minimalize the dash to the extent there is nothing there. After 20 years of driving Volvos, I just don't like them now.
⚡❤⚡❤⚡
Good luck charging CCS in the USA! I’m in N. California I just had 3 failures at Electrify America where only 2 of the measly 4 chargers were working which is a daily crap shoot . Don’t believe me , download the App and check your local stations. Better not think your road trip will be smooth or without annoying delay! Don’t even try chargepoint , or EVgo they are a worse joke than EA. Some non teslas are Nice vehicles but with a miserably incompetent charging infrastructure!! Don’t walk away run! Go ahead buy a non Tesla and you will regret it. I know I do ! 51k miles driven in a Volvo XC40 recharge and I give up. Tesla on order!
107kWh capacity. Hmmmm, that’s about 10x my current XC90 which has a real range on electric of 19-21miles (30-34km). This would suggest this all-electric would have a real range of 300-340km. How do they expect 600km? There’s a general expectation these days that real ranges of electric cars are about 2/3 of the specified range, i.e. after allowing for real world driving conditions ~(speed, a/c, heating etc.). So that would suggest a real range of 400km (250miles) - up a bit from my 300-340km extrapolation.
Also it’s unfortunate that the front of the EX90 is so very ugly.
Iv got kids..has to be leather
Touch controls are so old-fashioned. Why is Volvo focusing on touch controls and iPad control centers? Super boomer style.
Volvo's demographic is in the 50-60 year old category. They know their customer base.
I own an XC90 and I'm sorry to say that this vehicle is a complete miss for me. They claim they don't want style for styles sake and yet have opening headlights. They didn't include the grill because it would have looked too much like what it is: an XC90 with Lego brick LEDs and an iPad glued onto the dash. I understand minimalism, but the XC90 is Volvo minimalism done right. This is done all wrong. You get a more minimalist copy of the previous model for a price that's 30% more. Sorry, at that price there are better products out there and when I trade in my XC90, and if I'm willing to pay the high price this product demands, I'll probably look at the Mercedes EQE. Sorry Volvo, this is a total miss for me.
You may not like the new platform but XC90 is not minimal because the platform was built for hybrid hence suffers from ICE restrictions. Keeping something from the ICE era for sake of nostalgia makes absolutely no sense. Go to Mercedes if you prefer their design. Personally I was expecting more aggressive EV design so I’m a bit disappointed it hasn’t gone far enough.
@Ash style sake is what lead me to become a Volvo owner. I do enjoy the safety benefits but the wow factor is what sold me.
I agree, this vehicle is more soulless than minimalistic, Scandinavian has character
@@AusOpening uhm it’s a car.. please show an EV car that has a soul 😒😏
@@AusOpening Nobody has driven it and it was presented in one color and one trim. Really only one car was presented. Scandinavian has character and it looks Scandinavian in its design. The character will be shown maybe in a test drive or different colors/fabrics/pattern combinations.
Wealthy people.$$$$$$ forget everyone else
sorry, I would want LEATHER seating
Compared to the concept it is quite dull, but that was expected I guess. And I like how "Swedish" and "Scandinavian" is repeated endlessly in the PR, to hide Volvo is Chinese now...
The PR is about the car, not the company. And the car is defined by the engineering and the design which is very much Swedish/European.
Volvo is not Chinese. People really need to stop with this disinformation. The company is Swedish and the parent company is Chinese. Geely bought Volvo to "unleash the tiger," not to make it "Chinese." They have plenty Chinese brands in their group. Engineering, design, crash testing, management of the lines and direction of the company are all out of Gothenburg, Sweden. This car was presented on Nov 9th by the actual people that led teams of people in the design/engineering of it. Not one was Chinese and quite a few were Swedish. And it was presented in Sweden. It's Swedish, not just marketed as Swedish. It's Swedish and they don't hide who their parent company is. It's not all that relevant in describing or assessing the car.
@@benjaminsmith2287 VOLVO CARS BV is owned by GEELY... that's not VOLVO TRUCKS and MACHINES branch which is still Swedish.
@@buravan1512 Right. These people are talking about Volvo Cars, not Volvo Trucks.
This car will be made in Charleston (actually Rigeville), SC. Swedish design and AMERICAN made.
not enough range
gotta love these disposable EVs..i mean people throw their 1 year old phones for the latest and greatest. why not cars?
Always been a fan of Volvo but this new direction has lost me as their customer. EV's are not the future, until they start producing real cars with real engines that don't take 1.5 hours to fill up 70% i won't be buying from them. coupled with the fact that Volvos have had electrical faults in every model i've ever had including my current XC60 T5, and as far back as mk1 V40's that used to burn their headlamp wires up, they are literally the last company that should be developing electrical systems!
It sounds like you might be better suited to a hybrid. Range-extending hybrids still have merit, especially in countries without a robust charging infrastructure. As for the future, manufacturers are poring hundreds of billions of dollars into electric vehicles. They will likely be part of the automotive landscape for decades to come.
@@apexerman1 I agree hybrids will probably dominate and would suit me, however it will be years before the prices of repairs trickle down to affordable levels. Teslas have a habit of turning themselves off once the head office deems it end of life , parts replacements can pretty much write off a car more than 5 years old, I think there will be a huge market for converting electric cars to fuel in the future, pay the road tax of electric but with the repair and running costs of a normal car.
WHY oh why did Volvo copy the awful, Tesla-style tablet-glued-on-the-dash look. OMG! 😮💨
Why ask why?
and If that IS your aesthetic appreciation.... Do not go to China and drive The EVs there.... since it seems like it's in half their vehicles....
and you have the perfect moniker....
for a troll ;)
Agree. It looks like an after thought as opposed to a screen that's flush with the dashboard.
Volvos have had vertical screens for a while though
@@megatronusorionpax4900 Yes, but they blend in with the rest of the dash, not stick out like they forgot about it and decided to attach a tablet instead
Really terrible looking .........
These wheels are so ugly!
i prefer a car from the past instead this garbage. the design is horrible...
How much useless end expensive technology.....I hate the hiprocacy behind this FORCED new "e-era" of vehicles. I will definitely rebuy the 2010-2014 xc90 D5.....simple, solid, with adequate level of technology and safety, economic to run and polluting less than the dismantling process of the waste generated by the next generation of batteries..plus, for over EUR 100k, seats should look luxurious, not just IKEA fabric....
🤮🤮🤮
270 miles of epa range off a 111 kWh battery? That sux. Go back, go home, copy Ioniq 6 and come back.
The Rivian R1S which is a similar vehicle gets about 300 miles of range with a 125KWh useable pack. The efficiency is around the same, and expected for the class.
You cannot compare the efficiency of the ioniq 6, a much smaller, lighter, and more efficiently shaped vehicle due to being a sedan with a bigger, heavier, more square SUV.
In the same way that a Honda Civic will get better gas mileage than a Tahoe, of course an EX90 won’t be as efficient as an ioniq 6. And that’s due to physics not poor engineering.
I agree, it’s pretty sad it only gets 270 miles off a 111 kWh pack when Tesla is getting over 300 on a 75 kWh pack.
@@letsgobrandon5800 you mean Tesla claims to get 300 miles from 75kWh. I'm the real world, you never get close
@@ManuNarang eh, no. If you’re a real world driver like me and don’t have to use heat or ac, you can get 300 miles if you’re not driving like a lunatic. The EPA cycle does not drive like a lunatic. However, since you disagree,I’ll play. Let’s assume you only get 260 out of 75 kWh Tesla battery pack. That’s 3.46 miles per kWh. It’s still better than the “ rated” 300 Volvo is claiming out of a 111 kWh battery pack. That’s only 2.7 miles per kWh out of the Volvo. Pretty poor efficiency out of the Volvo if you ask me.
@@letsgobrandon5800 judging by the battery size, I'm guessing you are talking about a model 3. Do you not see an issue comparing the efficiency of a small sedan to a large 7 seater SUV? Might as well be comparing it to an efficiency of an electric go-kart mate, which would be more efficient than a model 3, especially if you're a "special' guy who uses no air conditioning
