Swedish automaker Volvo continues to reinforce its historic, pioneering position in the automotive world, drawing on a long legacy of innovation in safety and reliability. As the world accelerates its shift toward green mobility — a transition the Kingdom is also championing as part of its Vision 2030 environmental goals — the brand is launching its newest and largest model yet, the Volvo EX90, which represents the technological pinnacle of fully electric SUVs.

If you’re considering owning one, you can compare car financing options in Saudi Arabia through Carly before making your decision.

Exterior Design and Dimensions of the Volvo EX90

The Volvo EX90 sits in the large, luxury-performance SUV segment, with exterior lines that reflect a unique blend of Swedish solidity and modern aerodynamic flow. The car features advanced LED daytime running lights, with an available upgrade to high-resolution Pixel headlights, alongside sporty wheels offered in three sizes (20, 21, and 22 inches) that give it excellent stability and a strong road presence.

  • Overall length: 5,037 mm
  • Width: 1,964 mm (2,113 mm including mirrors)
  • Height: 1,744 mm
  • Wheelbase: 2,985 mm
  • Curb weight: ranges from 2,725 to 2,765 kg (depending on trim and configuration)

Performance Options and Electric Drivetrain Systems

Volvo offers its new flagship in two advanced all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations, each built on a pair of electric motors and an automatic transmission, running on an 800-volt electrical architecture and powered by a 106 kWh nominal-capacity battery:

Twin Motor (Standard):

This setup delivers a total output of 456 horsepower (335 kW), with torque reaching 670 Nm, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and offering a driving range of up to 720 km per charge under WLTP standards.

Twin Motor Performance (High Performance):

 Volvo raises total output in this variant to 680 horsepower, with a massive 870 Nm of torque, giving the SUV 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 4.2 seconds while maintaining the same operating range of up to 720 km. Top speed on both variants is electronically limited to 180 km/h.

Charging System and Operational Capability

Thanks to its 800-volt electrical architecture, the car supports fast-charging technology, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in around 22 minutes via 350 kW DC fast chargers, while a full charge via a three-phase home charger (16A) takes about 11 hours. The EX90 also boasts a towing capacity of up to 2,200 kg.

As a luxury electric vehicle of this size and weight, it’s also important to secure the right car insurance before taking delivery, especially since insurance premiums for electric vehicles differ from those of their conventional counterparts.
