The EX90 is Volvo's most important car of the decade — a flagship electric SUV that has to convince long-term Volvo families to stay, and convince Tesla families to switch. After a fortnight with the Plus Twin Motor spec, it mostly succeeds.
The bones are excellent: a calm cabin, three rows that genuinely work for adults in the second row and kids in the third, and Volvo's safety pedigree taken to its logical conclusion with proper LiDAR up front. The software experience is the lingering weak spot — Volvo is still catching up to Tesla on response time and feature density, though the gap is closing with each over-the-air update.
At its asking price, the EX90 needs to feel a class above the Kia EV9. In some ways it does — the build quality and the noise isolation are genuinely impressive. In others, particularly the software fluidity, it doesn't. We'll re-test once Volvo's mid-cycle software update lands later in 2025.
