Driven: Why the ultra-sleek Volvo ES90 is the perfect antidote to SUV fatigue
Verdict
The Volvo ES90 is a niche car for local consumption, to be sure, because it’s not an SUV and it’s electric. Add a R1 795 000 price tag for the Ultra version, and the segment becomes even smaller.
However, it has a lot going for it, including the reasons above.
Its design is a breath of fresh air and doesn’t fade into the SUV white noise.
With a very decent range that takes care of most range anxiety, and if you’re looking to buck the trend, then this will not disappoint.
It comes with a five-year/100,000km warranty and maintenance plan, an eight-year battery warranty, a GridCars wallbox with installation, three years of in-car data and two years of free public charging.

REVIEW | Volvo ES90: Sweden's silent assassin
And it comes equipped with a Google operating system, so you can say things like "Hey Google, I'm a little hot", or "Hey Google, take me to the closest charging station", and "Hey Google, set the cruise control, I wanna check my phone real quick". Ok, maybe that last one, you shouldn't do.
But you definitely should look at the Volvo ES90 if you want something spacious, brisk, powerful, agile, comfortable, intelligent, and so unmistakably Nordic in its elegance that the birch wood interior panels on the dash and door cards light up from behind at night.
Keep your 5 Series and E-Class. I'll be whispering along in Sweden's silent assassin, the Volvo ES90.
