Volvo ES90

The ES90 is based on the SPA2 platform dedicated to Volvo high-end vehicles, such as its SUV derivative EX90 or its cousin Polestar 3, and is the second Volvo product, after the EX90, to be based on its Superset tech stack.^[4] The ES90 was the first Volvo to feature a dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin configuration, with the computer’s abilities to perform 508 trillion operations per second (TOPS). It is has 800-volt electric architecture supports fast charging, it can add 300 km of electric range in 10 minutes at 350kW rapid charging stations. The ES90 features adaptive dampening system and a dual-chamber air suspension found in the EX90.^[5][6][7]

Jeremy Offer, head of global design, claims the ES90 "adapted the saloon silhouette and added from a functional perspective a hatchback. But then working with the proportions of an electric platform, which has a higher driving position, we leveraged that and used that to our advantage, giving the car a higher stance and elevated driving position... [The ES90] is fundamentally a large saloon with these nuanced changes."^[7]

According to Volvo, the ES90 is designed to combine "the refined elegance of a sedan, the adaptability of a fastback, and the spacious interior and higher ground clearance associated with SUVs". The front fascia is distinguished by Thor’s hammer headlights, while the rear fascia features C-shaped LED taillights and LED lights placed on each side of the rear window. For customisation, customers can choose from seven exterior colours and four wheel options ranging from 20 to 22 inches in size.^[8] The ES90 has a low drag coefficient of 0.25, therefore it became the most aerodynamic Volvo product ever produced.^[9]

The interior can also be customised with six ambient lighting themes and a range of upholstery options. The dashboard has a 9-inch driver's digital display, 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in services, and a standard heads-up display. The infotainment display also provides a 3D view supported by a 360-degree camera system. Interior features include a Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 25 speakers and Dolby Atmos, a four-zone automatic climate control with an advanced air purifier that removes up to 95% of PM 2.5 particulates, and a panoramic roof with 99.9% UV protection.^[8][10]

The ES90 has a boot capacity at 425 L (15.0 cu ft), and 1,256 L (44.4 cu ft) when the rear seats folded which can be folded separately in 40:20:40 format. It is available with a frunk storage compartment of 22 L (0.78 cu ft).^[7]
