Despite recent adjustments to their electric vehicle plans, Volvo is still committed to releasing a complete lineup of EVs, including this 2025 EX90.

It splits duties as a three-row flagship utility with the hybrid XC90; but one could argue that the EX90 is now the true flagship, fully embracing Volvo’s upscale direction in form and function.

Starting with the latter, the 111-kWh battery provides up to 300 miles of range, or 310 miles on 21-inch wheels. All-wheel drive is standard, with Base models putting out 408 horsepower, and Performance trims kicking out 517 ponies and 670 lb-ft of torque.

That’s a lot of twist, and it felt great on the Southern California twisties, but that’s not the only advantage to this silent method of propulsion.

Out here on the canyons. You start pushing it a little bit– and again, this is a performance model so there is plenty of torque and, uh, it is quite quick. It’s not super, ludicrously quick, but there is plenty of power. Believe me. These roads are pretty smooth. There’s not a lot of imperfections. They’re not perfect, though. I’m still impressed by how quiet it is in this cabin. Volvo says it is the quietest cabin of any Volvo ever, and while I can’t verify that specifically, it is really, supremely quiet….

And silence perfectly complements the minimalist, sustainably sourced interior. A 14.5-inch touchscreen houses most vehicle functions, including the side mirrors, steering wheel position and, perhaps going a tad too far, even the headlights.

Those are the latest take on Volvo’s “Thor’s Hammer” motif, flanked by signature taillights modified to bank on the current light-ring trend. The only obtrusion to the smooth and sleek body is the roof-mounted LIDAR sensor. It currently only collects data, but soon to be integrated with the EX90’s onboard safety suite through an over-the-air update.

The 2025 Volvo EX90 is expected to reach dealers later this year, starting around $80,000. If you’re looking for a big, luxurious, family EV, and are fond of Volvo’s unique Scandinavian driving experience… this is it.

We’ll have more to share and more Quick Spins… soon!
