Volvo ES90

Volvo’s new ES90 flagship sedan is a super-computer on wheels that can cover 700km between charges

Not only is this the most advanced vehicle that Volvo has ever created, but the new ES90 also attempts to defy categorisation.

The new battery-powered flagship car looks like a fastback sedan, but it’s actually a three-box hatchback and there’s even a hint of SUV as far as Volvo is concerned, thanks to a slightly elevated ground clearance.

It also ushers in the brand’s new 800-volt technology, allowing for faster charging as well as improved performance and efficiency.

Volvo says the twin-motor flagship version, fitted with a 106kWh battery, can cover up to 700km on the WLTP testing cycle. Equally impressive is that 300km of range can be added in just 10 minutes when the car is plugged into a 350kW fast charger.

The full model range, as well as power outputs and performance figures, have not been announced as yet.

Like the new EX90 SUV, the Volvo ES90 is crafted around the SPA2 vehicle architecture and features the company’s new Superset tech stack, consisting of a single set of hardware and software modules that will underpin all upcoming EV models.
