The 2025 Volvo EX90 electric SUV will be making its official debut in Malaysia next month, together with its plug-in hybrid twin, the XC90. The launch date for the new EV was revealed through Volvo Car Malaysia‘s (VCM) social media pages and marketing newsletter.
According to the announcement, the official Malaysian launch of the Volvo EX90 will be taking place on 10 April. The official price tag has not yet been revealed by VCM but the company has previously said that the estimated pricing for the EX90 is around RM450,000.
Volvo EX90 Key Specs and Features
In global markets, the Volvo EX90 comes in two Twin-Motor variants and is offered in either 5-seater, 6-seater and 7-seater options depending on region. The base Twin-Motor version boasts 300kW (402hp) and 770Nm of torque, and it is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds.
Meanwhile, the higher-spec Twin-Motor Performance delivers a higher 380kW (509hp) alongside 910Nm of torque and it does the century sprint quicker in just 4.9 seconds. As usual for a Volvo, the maximum speed for both variants are capped at 180km/h.
Powering the EX90 is a large 111kWh battery that claims to deliver a WLTP-rated range of up to 600km on a single charge. It supports 11kW three-phase AC charging and up to 250kW of DC charging. For AC, a full charge takes approximately 10 hours, while DC charging from 10-80% takes about 30 minutes.
In terms of dimensions, the Volvo EX90 is actually longer and wider than the XC90. This 7-seater SUV is 5,037mm long, 1,964mm wide and has a wheelbase of 2,985mm.
Storage-wise, the EX90 comes with a 310-litre boot with all seats up, and it can be expanded to 655 litres with the 3rd row folded. For even more storage, it opens up to 1,915 litres of space with both rear rows folded flat. These figures are inclusive of the 65-litre underfloor storage of the boot. If that’s not enough, there’s also a frunk with a 46-litre capacity (80-litre “Liquid” capacity)..
The last row 50:50 seats are powered and can be folded up and down at a push of a button from either the passenger door or the rear boot. Meanwhile, the second-row 40:20:40 seats are mechanically operated, but each seat can be adjusted individually.
In terms of design, the exterior of the Volvo EX90 looks basically like the extra large version of the EX30. It retains C-shaped rear lights along with a vertical light array, while the front retains a clean look with distinctive Thor’s hammer daytime running lights (DRL). One neat party trick is its retractable DRL that reveals high-definition pixel headlights. Boasting 1.3 million pixels, the headlamps can dynamically change the shape and intensity of its illumination.
On the inside, the EX90 features a 14.5″ tablet-style infotainment display with Google built-in, along with a 9″ digital instrument cluster and a 13.2″ head-up display (HUD). It is also equipped with a 25-speaker 1610W Bowers and Wilkins sound system, which includes a sub-woofer as well as speakers built directly into the headrest for front occupants.
In terms of safety, Volvo has included its full suite of advanced driver assistance safety features in the EX90. What’s notable is the inclusion of a LIDAR sensor that’s mounted on the roof. In combination with its cameras and radars, the EX90 is able to detect objects and other road users up to 250 meters ahead in darkness at highway speeds.
