From EV Review Ireland.
Welcome back to our full, right-hand drive review of the Volvo EX90—the 7-seat electric luxury SUV aiming to redefine its segment!
After first driving it in Los Angeles, we put the top-trim Twin Performance model to the test on Irish roads. Built on the 800V SPA2 platform (shared with the Polestar 3), the EX90 boasts a massive 111 kWh battery, up to 250 kW DC charging, and performance from its dual-motor setup. We examine the stunning Tor’s Hammer design, the tech-focused interior with a 14.6-inch screen and Bowers & Wilkins sound, and see how its air suspension handles local roads. We also honestly evaluate the practicality of the crucial third row against rivals like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai IONIQ 9.
Find out if this €120,000 electric flagship (or the new €99,000 RWD entry model) delivers the ultimate electric luxury experience!
