Volvo will launch its flagship electric SUV, the EX90, in India on October 12, 2026. The three-row electric SUV will sit above the EC40 in Volvo’s local portfolio and is expected to arrive as a completely built unit (CBU).
The EX90 made its global debut in 2022 and is positioned as the electric counterpart to the XC90. Internationally, Volvo offers the SUV with six- and seven-seat configurations, depending on the variant. The exact seating layout and specifications for the India-spec model are yet to be confirmed.
The EX90 follows Volvo’s restrained design approach, with relatively clean surfaces and minimal visual detailing. The front end features a closed-off grille area with the Volvo logo, while the headlights use the brand’s distinctive T-shaped LED daytime running light signature.
The side profile carries design cues familiar from the XC90, including a long shoulder line and an upright SUV silhouette. At the rear, the EX90 uses a split lighting arrangement, with C-shaped units positioned on the tailgate and additional elements extending vertically along the rear pillars.
The overall design is closely related to Volvo’s current electric models while retaining the proportions expected from a large three-row SUV.
The interior follows Volvo’s current minimalist approach. A 14.5-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen sits prominently on the dashboard and serves as the primary interface for many vehicle functions.
The system incorporates Google built-in services, 5G connectivity and support for over-the-air software updates. The infotainment platform also uses Unreal Engine, while processing hardware from NVIDIA and Snapdragon supports the vehicle’s digital systems and driver-assistance functions.
Unlike the smaller EX30, the EX90 gets a dedicated digital instrument display for the driver.
The EX90 is offered internationally with rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. The rear-wheel-drive version uses a 92kWh battery and develops 245kW and 470 Nm.
The all-wheel-drive versions use a larger 106kWh battery. The standard AWD version produces 335kW and 670 Nm, while the Performance variant increases output to 500kW and 870 Nm.
Internationally claimed driving range varies by powertrain, with the rear-wheel-drive version rated for up to 565 km and the AWD model offering up to 620 km.
Volvo has not yet confirmed which powertrain and battery configuration will be offered in India, so the final specifications may differ from those available in other markets.
The EX90 supports DC fast charging at rates of up to 350kW. Volvo claims a 10-80 percent charging time of approximately 22 minutes when using a sufficiently powerful DC charger.
Using a 3-phase 16A AC charger, a full charge can take up to around 11 hours. Actual charging times in India will depend on the charging infrastructure available to customers.
The EX90 is expected to be imported into India as a CBU, which is likely to place it at the higher end of Volvo’s local range.
