Volvo showcases EX90 flagship electric SUV at CES 2023, delivery begins in 2024
- Volvo EX90 all-electric luxury SUV is powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain offering two power and torque output levels.
Volvo is aiming to go electric in the coming years in a big way, and the EX90 flagship EV would play a key role in that strategy. The US being a key market for the automaker, Volvo showcased the EX90 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 to demonstrate its advanced high-end technologies and features. The Swedish luxury car brand also said it would start accepting bookings for the EX90 soon, while deliveries will commence in early 2024.
Besides electrification technology, Volvo is increasingly focusing on connected, safer and autonomous driving technologies as well. The EX90 is a key part of that all-electric vehicle fleet strategy after the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge. The Volvo EX90 is claimed to come longer and wider than the XC90, while it will sit a bit lower to the ground because of the heavy battery pack.
