Enter the EX90, the full-size SUV that will eventually replace the XC90, based on the same platform as the recently revealed. Two permanent magnet motors—one on each axle—give the EX90 a combined output of 469 hp and 671 ft lbs of torque. Volvo claims the 111 kwh battery will provide a range of up to 300 miles and will be able to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 30 minutes on a fast charging network.
“Where Polestar is more technical and cold, Volvo is very warm and human-centric,” says T. Jon Mayer, head of exterior design for Volvo Cars. “Every face of our vehicle is inspired by an animal-like character to create a humanistic expression. It’s not a robot.” According to Mayer, in this case, the EX90 is inspired by a lion, reflected in the vehicle’s proud stance. “We have the eyes up high and the mouth below,” he explains.
In a time when many marques are experimenting with EV proportions—think cab-forward, jellybean shapes—Mayer says the EX90 keeps a classic proportion, known in design as the golden ratio. The EX90 will be able to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 30 minutes on a fast charging network.When it comes to safety, the EX90 is packed with sensors and cameras. Notably, a lidar unit supplied by Luminar—which can detect people and objects hundreds of feet ahead of the car—is a major step toward increasing safety and avoiding accidents. The lidar system is mounted front-and-center on the roof, directly above the windshield.
