New Delhi, India – July 17, 2026 – Volvo Car India is poised to electrify the premium SUV segment with the confirmed debut of its all-new, seven-seater Volvo EX90 electric SUV on August 19, 2026. This marks a significant milestone for the Swedish automaker, introducing its global flagship electric vehicle to the discerning Indian market, following the successful introduction of the EX30 and EC40 models. The EX90 is not just an electric SUV; it's a statement of Volvo's continued leadership in automotive safety and sustainable luxury.

This sophisticated system promises significantly faster DC charging capabilities, reduced heat generation, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced overall performance.
Powertrain and Performance
The Volvo EX90 is expected to offer a range of powerful electric powertrains in India:
- Single Motor Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): This variant features a 92 kWh battery, delivering 329 hp and 480 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in a claimed 6.6 seconds and offers a WLTP-certified range of 565 km.
- Twin Motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Equipped with a 106 kWh battery, this version produces 449 hp and 670 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. Its WLTP range is rated at 608 km.
- Twin Motor AWD Performance: The top-tier Performance variant also utilizes a 106 kWh battery, but boosts output to a formidable 670 hp and 870 Nm of torque, enabling a blistering 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4 seconds. It offers a WLTP range of 602 km.
All EX90 variants support ultra-fast DC charging up to 350 kW, allowing a 10-80 percent charge in approximately 22 minutes. With the 800V architecture, a quick 10-minute charge can add up to 250 km of driving range under optimal conditions.
Unparalleled Safety Features
True to Volvo's legacy, the EX90 is touted as the brand's safest car to date, carrying claimed 5-star crash safety ratings from Euro NCAP and NCAP. It integrates an "invisible shield of safety" comprising an extensive suite of advanced technologies:
- Exterior Sensing: A combination of state-of-the-art cameras, radars, and a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor provides a 360-degree real-time view of the surroundings. The LiDAR system can detect small objects hundreds of meters ahead, day or night, even at highway speeds, significantly enhancing collision avoidance.
- Interior Sensing: Special sensors and cameras, powered by in-house developed algorithms, monitor the driver's eye gaze and concentration, alerting them to distraction or drowsiness.
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): The EX90 offers Level 3 ADAS functionality, including features like Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Steer Assist, Cross Traffic Alert with Autobrake, Collision Mitigation and Evasion Assist, Pilot Assist with adaptive cruise control and lane centering, Lane Keeping Aid, Run-off road mitigation, Driver Monitoring, and a 360-degree Aerial View Camera for effortless parking.
- Occupant Sensing: An innovative full-cabin Occupant Sensing system uses interior radars to detect submillimeter movements, like a baby's breathing, to help prevent leaving loved ones behind in the vehicle.
Design and Cabin Experience
The EX90 shares dimensional similarities with the XC90 (5,037mm L, 1,964mm W, 1,744mm H, 2,985mm wheelbase) but sports a distinct, sleek design with a drag coefficient of 0.29Cd. Key exterior elements include sleeker T-shaped headlamps with pixel-like 'Thor's Hammer' DRLs, a grille-less fascia featuring the Volvo badge, and distinctive C-shaped LED taillamps.
Inside, the minimalist cabin is dominated by a large, vertically oriented 14.5-inch central touchscreen powered by Google built-in services, complemented by a slim 9-inch digital driver's display. The EX90 comes loaded with premium features such as a 5G connection for over-the-air (OTA) software updates, a digital key, ambient lighting, four-zone climate control, a cabin air purifier, a wireless charging pad, powered front seats, and a panoramic glass roof. Boot space is a practical 376 litres with all three rows in use, along with a 46-litre frunk.

Market estimates suggest an ex-showroom price range between ₹1.00 crore and ₹1.80 crore.
