- The new Volvo EX90 electric SUV has a starting price of $77,990, with top models surpassing $90,000.
- A 402-hp Twin Motor setup is standard, and the more powerful Twin Motor Performance option ups output to 496 hp.
- Volvo says the EX90 will start reaching U.S. customers in the first half of 2024.
Volvo’s new EX30, starting at under $40,000, is a surprisingly affordable EV, and now we know that the Swedish automaker’s other new, larger EV model will also undercut many of its competitors on price. The 2025 Volvo EX90, a three-row luxury electric SUV, will start at just $77,990, a fair bit cheaper than other models such as the BMW iX (base price: $88,095) and Rivian R1S (base price: $79,800).
The EX90 lineup starts off with the Twin Motor configuration in and the lower of two trim levels, called Plus. The better-equipped Ultra trim starts at $82,340 and comes with extras such as an air suspension, soft-close doors, 21-inch wheels, thicker glass, and massaging front seats. The Twin Motor setup includes front and rear electric motors that produce 402 horsepower, and Volvo claims a driving range of up to 300 miles, though EPA estimates are not available yet. All EX90s have a 111.0-kWh battery pack.
There’s a more powerful configuration called Twin Motor Performance with 496 horsepower that adds $5000 to the bottom line, starting at $82,990. It’s also available in Plus and Ultra trims, with the loaded Twin Motor Performance Ultra starting at $87,340.
Options include second-row captain’s chairs for $500 that reduce seating capacity from seven to six, plus a $3200 Bowers & Wilkins audio system available on Ultra models. There are also multiple wheel options ranging from 20 to 22 inches. All in, you can get the EX90 over $90,000, but that’s not so crazy considering that many other electric luxury SUVs can go well into six-figure territory.
Volvo says the EX90 will start production at its South Carolina factory in the first half of 2024, and that U.S. customers will start taking delivery shortly after that. There’s a pre-order website open now, with reservations available if you put down a $500 refundable deposit.
