KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The Volvo EX90 is powered by a 111 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery and two permanent magnet electric motors.
  • How much power does the Volvo EX90 make?

    The Volvo EX90 makes 517 hp and 910Nm of torque.
  • “The Volvo EX90 is a statement for where we are, and where we are going,” said Volvo Cars Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jim Rowan.

    “It’s fully electric with a range of up to 600 kilometers on a single charge, designed to further raise our safety standards, the first Volvo car to be truly defined by its software and part of a wider ecosystem, connecting to your home and your other devices. The Volvo EX90 is the start of something new for Volvo Cars in many ways,” the chief executive added.

    One of the features of the Volvo EX90 includes its state-of-the-art sensors.

They are connected to the car’s high-performance computers where Nvidia Drive artificial intelligence (AI) platforms Xavier and Orin, Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies, and a Volvo Cars-developed software run the core functions.
