AutoVault's overall score, weighted for what a electric suv is actually for — performance, technology, comfort, reliability, safety and value.

Specifications

Dual-Motor Electric (AWD)

Two motors provide quietly muscular, all-weather traction in keeping with Volvo's calm character, prioritising effortless refinement over aggression.

The EX90 is the first Volvo built on the bespoke SPA2 electric platform and serves as the electric sibling to the XC90 flagship SUV.

Both axles use permanent-magnet synchronous motors, and the rear unit can decouple from the driveline when coasting to save energy.
The roughly 111 kWh battery pack is supplied by China's CATL, the world's largest battery maker.
As Volvo's first ground-up bespoke EV, the EX90 marked a clean break from the brand's earlier electrified cars that shared platforms with combustion models.
