2024 Volvo EX90
Overview
Volvo’s transition to an electric lineup is set to continue with a new flagship SUV called the EX90. This new model will be positioned above the gasoline-powered XC90 when it goes on sale as a 2024 model. Styling will follow the Concept Recharge show car from 2021, meaning it should look sleeker than the XC90 without abandoning quintessential Volvo styling elements such as Thor’s Hammer LED headlamps and vertically oriented taillights. We have no details yet on the EX90’s powertrain, battery capacity, or driving range but we expect it to offer specs similar to the smaller C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge SUVs. Volvo has said that the EX90 will also showcase the brand’s next-generation driver-assistance technology, including something called a “driver understanding system” which is said to be able to take action to help the driver if it detects distress or distraction.
What’s New for 2024?
We’ll see the EX90—an entirely new nameplate for the Volvo brand—unveiled on November 9 with sales expected to start in the second half of 2023 as a 2024 model.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Core
$70,000 (est)
Plus
$80,000 (est)
Ultimate
$90,000 (est)
Pricing and trim levels have not been officially announced, but we expect the electric EX90 to carry a price premium over the gasoline-powered XC90 SUV. Volvo also has recently restricted its trim level offerings and we think the EX90 will adhere to the new layout, which would see a base Core trim, a mid-range Plus variant, and a loaded Ultimate model.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Volvo promises that new driver-assistance features will make their debut on the EX90, but we aren’t sure exactly what that will entail. We expect to see basics such as automated emergency braking but we could also see a hands-free highway driving system too. For more information about the EX90’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features are likely to include:
Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist Available adaptive cruise control with hands-free driving mode
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Volvo offers a well-rounded warranty package on its new cars, including a complimentary scheduled maintenance plan that spans three years or 36,000 miles.
Limited warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles Powertrain warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles Battery components are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles Complimentary scheduled maintenance is covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles
