Volvo has officially revealed the ES90, a cutting-edge electric vehicle that marks a new chapter for the Swedish automaker. Sporting an 800 V electric architecture, the ES90 delivers enhanced performance, energy efficiency, and ultra-fast charging capabilities. According to Volvo, a 350 kW fast charge can add 300 km of range in just 10 minutes, making it one of the quickest-charging EVs in its segment. The vehicle boasts a maximum range of up to 700 km on a full charge.
Performance Options for Every Driver
The ES90 will be available in three powertrain options:
-
Single Motor: 245 kW / 480 N.m
-
Twin Motor: 330 kW / 670 N.m
-
Twin Motor Performance: 500 kW / 870 N.m
The flagship Performance model accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds, making it the fastest production Volvo ever.
Design: Blurring the Lines Between Saloon, Fastback, and SUV
Volvo calls the ES90 a “design chameleon,” with styling cues borrowed from saloons, fastbacks, and SUVs. Trademark Volvo design elements—such as clean body panels, ventless contours, and the iconic ‘Thor’s hammer’ LED headlights—give the EV a modern and futuristic appearance.
With dimensions measuring 5,000 mm in length, 1,942 mm in width, and 1,549 mm in height, the ES90 is comparable in size to a BMW 5 Series. A remarkably low drag coefficient of 0.25 makes it the most aerodynamic car Volvo has ever built.
