The wait is over for electric vehicle enthusiasts and Volvo aficionados! The all-electric Volvo EX90, Volvo Cars’ groundbreaking flagship SUV, has officially begun its journey to customers. Shipments are en route to retailers across the United States and Europe, marking the imminent Volvo Ex90 Release Date for eager buyers. The first deliveries are slated to reach customers before the end of this month, with a ramp-up of deliveries to include more markets between the fourth quarter of this year and the first quarter of 2025.
This EX90 isn’t just another SUV; it’s Volvo’s new standard-bearer, pushing boundaries in vehicle safety, sustainable design, and human-centric technology. It’s crafted to simplify and enhance the lives of its drivers and passengers, promising a driving experience unlike any Volvo before it.
Volvo EX90: Tested to the Limit and Ready for the Road
To ensure the EX90 lives up to its flagship status, Volvo subjected it to rigorous testing. CEO Jim Rowan himself recently put the EX90 through its paces on an extensive road trip across the United States, from the Charleston, South Carolina plant to California.
“Based on this trip, I can confidently say that the EX90 is the best car we have ever made,” declared Jim Rowan. “After driving it for 950 kilometers through three states in the US in various driving conditions and road surfaces, I only have positive memories. The charging, the handling, the ride comfort, the silence of the cabin and the epic sound system, the reliability, the tech and the feel of the UI – I’ve never driven a Volvo car like it. The EX90 is the start of a new era for Volvo Cars, and it begins now.”
Adding to the chorus of positive reviews, Volvo hosted global media test drives near Los Angeles, allowing hundreds of journalists from around the world to experience the EX90’s capabilities firsthand. The overwhelming feedback reinforces the anticipation surrounding the Volvo EX90 release date and its arrival on the market.
A New Era Powered by Core Computing and AI
The Volvo EX90 release signifies more than just a new vehicle; it represents a paradigm shift for Volvo Cars. It’s the first Volvo vehicle powered by a core system, a revolutionary approach to automotive technology.
At the heart of the EX90 is an in-car AI computer built upon the NVIDIA DRIVE® platform. This powerful core system works in harmony with the Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Volvo’s in-house developed software. This seamless integration manages critical vehicle functions, from safety systems and infotainment to battery management, resulting in a responsive and intuitive driving experience.
The EX90 is born smart and inherently connected. Equipped with Google built-in, it boasts an array of advanced sensors, including radars, cameras, and Luminar’s lidar technology, significantly enhancing safety. This sensor suite, coupled with a constant 5G connection and regular over-the-air software updates, enables continuous improvement of the car’s features and expands its functionality over time. The Volvo EX90 is designed to evolve and improve alongside its owner.
“The Volvo EX90 embodies our future as a fully electric car maker, with cars that continuously get better over time thanks to core computing and software updates,” Jim Rowan emphasizes. “It’s a testament to our global engineering capabilities and reaffirms our position as a leader in the ongoing technology shift in the car industry.”
Safety, Range, and Innovation Define the EX90
Built on Volvo’s next-generation, all-electric platform, the EX90 offers a driving range of up to 600km* (approximately 373 miles). Staying true to Volvo’s legacy, the EX90 is engineered to be the safest Volvo ever created. It’s packed with next-generation passive and active safety technology, guided by a suite of sophisticated sensors and intelligent software.
The EX90 also debuts several firsts for Volvo. It’s the first Volvo to feature lidar, the first with a core computing system, and the first designed for bi-directional charging. This bi-directional charging capability allows owners to contribute to a more stable energy grid and promote the use of renewable energy. For audiophiles, the EX90 offers another world-first: the Abbey Road Studios mode, available with the optional Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system.
Production of the Volvo EX90 commenced earlier this year at Volvo’s manufacturing facility just outside Charleston, South Carolina. This plant, with a capacity of 150,000 vehicles per year, has seen substantial recent investments, including upgrades to the body and paint shops and a new state-of-the-art battery pack production line. This investment underscores Volvo’s commitment to US manufacturing and its readiness for the electric future heralded by the Volvo EX90 release date.
