Launched in Malaysia in April this year, the Volvo EX90 is positioned as the Swedish brand’s battery-electric flagship model, alongside the internal combustion-engined XC90. Sold in Malaysia in a sole Twin Motor Performance variant, the EX90 is priced locally at RM442,888.
This features a pair of drive motors to deliver all-wheel-drive, the front unit delivering 245 PS and 420 Nm while the rear motor outputs 272 PS and 490 Nm for a combined 517 PS and 910 Nm. Thus, the EX90 Twin Motor Performance does the 0-100 km/h run in 4.9 seconds, and a governed top speed of 180 km/h.
Energy in the EX90 is stored in a 111 kWh nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) battery (107 kWh nett capacity), offering a WLTP-rated rage of 623 km. This can be recharged via AC at up to 11 kW through an onbaord charger, which brings a full charge in 10 hours, while DC fast charging is supported at up to 250 kW which enables a 10-80% recharge in 30 minutes.
Inside, the EX90 gets a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen that is portrait-oriented and comes with Google built-in, granting access to services like the Google Assistant, Maps and Play Store without requiring the physical handling of one’s smartphone, and these digital services are included with the price of the vehicle for a period of five years.
For the driver, a nine-inch digital instrument display is located ahead of the air-conditioning vents which are styled to have a full-width look, while the steering wheel offers touch controls and a rotary dial is located on the centre console for basic media playback functions.
In addition to the included Google services, the EX90 comes with wireless Apple CarPlay, Digital Key Plus, key card and key tag support, a 25-speaker Bowers and Wilkins sound system, powered front seats (with ventilation and massage functions), one-pedal driving, a powered tailgate, a fixed panoramic sunroof and four-zone climate control with vents for all three rows.
