This upcoming all-electric flagship Volvo ES90 will be fully revealed come March 5th 2025.
Volvo is set to debut its first-ever fully-electric sedan on March 5th 2025, and the big thing it is currently teasing everyone about this upcoming ES90 is for it to be ‘one of the most technically advanced cars on the market today’.
Now this bold claim comes from Volvo touting for the ES90 to be its first model that comes packing a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration as part of its Superset tech stack, which apparently makes it the most powerful car they have ever created in terms of core computing capacity. And the reason why there is a need for the car to be capable of completing around 508 trillion operations per second is to allow for more headroom for future over-the-air vehicle updates, as well as the potential eventual introduction of increased AI capabilities.
Of course with this being Volvo too, that immense computing power has also been touted to bring with it a continually-improving collision avoidance and autonomous driving system. The Swedish automaker has since revealed as well that the upcoming ES90 will come equipped with one LIDAR, five radar, and twelve ultrasonic sensors, as well as 7 cameras around the vehicle.
As for what is known regarding the rest of the car meanwhile, the ES90 will be based upon the same electric SPA2 platform shared with EX90. This should therefore likely see for this first-ever all-electric Volvo sedan to be available in both single rear-motor and dual-motor guises (with a combined exceeding 500 hp for the latter configuration), which is in turn powered by a 111 kWh battery pack that will yield just about 600 km of range in a single charge in its most efficient spec.
In terms of dimensions, prior leaks have further revealed as well for ES90 will come in at 4,999 mm in length (+30 mm over the outgoing S90), with a wheelbase of 3,100 mm (+159 mm over the S90). Volvo CEO Rowan had previously noted that Chinese premium buyers prefer saloons with “really long leg room” in the back, and said this upcoming model will be developed with that market as a core focus.
On the aesthetics front, Volvo has teased that the ES90 will feature a more liftback profile than the current conventional three-box sedan style. Interesting to note here too its that the preview pictures show for there to be additional LED strakes on the sides of the rear window, which will likely complement a possible horseshoe shape rear light bar that wraps around the whole of its rump.
And while on the topic of interesting, Volvo has confirmed that it will be offering this upcoming ES90 alongside a heavily updated version of the current ICE-powered S90. This is likely a stopgap measure for the Swedish automaker, who has recently backtracked somewhat on its prior goal of going fully-electric by 2030.
