Volvo’s VLVLY next flagship will be a sleek, low-set, all-electric SUV with over 400 horsepower and one of the most extensive safety bundles the automotive industry has ever seen. It includes a stunning suite of sensors watching the road and monitoring the driver.
‘A new era’ Never let anyone tell you Volvo doesn’t know how to woo people. The company launched its newest product with a press conference headlined by a performance from Swedish neo-soul artist Seinabo Sey. Volvo CEO Jim Rowan slow-jammed an introduction over her song, explaining that the company is “proudly Swedish” in his thick Glasgow brogue.
It’s the first Volvo built on the new platform, but it might not be the first car to reach showrooms on it. It’s shared with the upcoming Polestar 3 from sister company Polestar.At launch, Volvo says, the EX90 will come in a single configuration – an all-wheel-drive setup using two electric motors, one per axle. It’s good for 496 horsepower.
Sleek look, eyes that blink The EX90’s silhouette recognizably evolved from the XC90 3-row SUV. But it looks sleeker and more trim all around, with a more tailored look. It sits lower for aerodynamic reasons. It looks eerily like human eyes blinking. Volvo engineers suggested using the “blink” to greet friends.So. Many. Sensors. “Externally,” Rowan said, the EX90 has “16 ultrasonic sensors, five radars, and a new LiDAR system fitted directly to the roofline for maximum visibility.” They’re all standard equipment and used to create a 3D representation of the car’s environment called a “point cloud” for the car’s driver assistance systems.
Nope.
And a clown car range of 280 miles… 🤡
Volvos have nothing but electrical problems. How can anyone trust their ELECTRIC car?
Is it crying because nobody likes it? Besides humorless Swedes, obviously.
