Volvo ES90 Specs and Features
The ES90 is not your conventional sedan as it has a fastback design with a hatch opening for the rear. Built on the same SPA2 platform as the EX90, the ES90 offers a SUV-like ride height and ground clearance.
In other markets, the ES90 is offered in either RWD and AWD variants. For Malaysia, the RWD version gets a single motor pushing 333hp and 480Nm of torque. It is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 6.6 seconds, up to a top speed of 180km/h.
As a comparison, the ES90 AWD performance that’s offered in other markets come with twin motors pushing 500kW (670hp) and and 870Nm of torque, with an impressive 0-100km/h time of 4.0 seconds.
The ES90 sedan in Malaysia comes with a 92kWh battery (88kWh usable) which offers a WLTP-rated range of 651km.
Utilising an 800V architecture, this is the first Volvo EV in Malaysia to support ultra fast DC charging speeds when plugged to a 350kW DC charger.
It can charge from 10-80% in 22 minutes and a quick 10 minute charge is able to top up to 300km of range.
On the inside, it features a 14.5″ central infotainment display with Google built-in along with a 9″ digital instrument cluster. As a new flagship EV, the ES90 is also the first Volvo to be powered by a dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin configuration, making it the most powerful Volvo in terms of core computing capacity.
As expected from a flagship Volvo, the ES90 also features a 25-speaker 1610W Bowers & Wilkins High-Fidelity Audio system with Dolby Atmos.
Like any Volvo, safety remains a key highlight of the ES90 boasting a strong safety cage, advanced restraint systems and a comprehensive sensor suite comprising five radars, seven cameras and twelve ultrasonic sensors.
Unlike the Volvo EX90, there’s no LiDAR on the roof which gives the ES90 a sleeker appearance.
