Seven seats, 373 miles of range and 'defined by its software' - welcome to the future of family Volvos...

For 20 years now, the XC90 has done a superb job of combining traditional Volvo appeal with the demands of the SUV market. Now the Volvo flagship must move into the electric era, and the EX90 is that car. More than just a replacement for the current XC, the EX is described by Volvo as the beginning of a new era - ‘in which we set a decisive course for a fully electric future’.

With design set to become ever more important in the EV era, Volvo hasn’t held back with the EX90 - it’s bold, yet easily identifiable as Volvo without the badges. There’s some influence from, a bit of Polestar 2 and what’s becoming the familiar headlight design throughout the range. Looks absolutely massive, too, as has become XC90 tradition to get seven proper seats in. Not going to want any wheels smaller than the sharpest looks, surely.

Technology will play a more entertaining role in the EX90 as well, advancing the interior experience for driver and their six passengers. Indeed, Volvo suggests this SUV won’t just be a be a new car, it will be a ‘highly advanced computer on wheels’, which sounds great in terms of convenience - if a little concerning to more traditional customers. Naturally, the EX90 will be updated over the air as new software is available.

Really, someone told me they had saved enough to buy a second hand all electric car but couldn’t get insurance as the company couldn’t prove if the battery’s would be ok… Electric folly stick to petrol.

Dullsville

CASH can be made from buying in to the lithium company's supplying the likes of Volvo. They mine for the raw materials needed for the cars battery's and will be doing very well in 2023 look at shares in PREM Premafrimin

‘Defined by its software’ let’s hope that it’s different from what Polestar are running, what with their major TCAM issues…😬

Volvo are really doing a nice job with their design language these days. I had one of the current XC90’s and it was great, but I hated the engine. Electric should solve the one part that wasn’t great.

What family can afford a £97k car? Irrelevant to 99% of people.
