More Information
Where your XC90s and XC60s are still built around the traditional gas or plug-in hybrid systems, the EX90 is designed from the ground up as an EV. That changes the driving feel immediately. Its quieter, smoother, and more effortless in daily driving, especially in low-speed and city situations. The instant torque from the dual motors makes it feel stronger off the line than the B6 or even T8 models, even though everything is very refined and controlled.
This Ultra trim is fully loaded in a way that lines up with the best XC90 configurations youve seen, but in a more modern platform. Youre getting adaptive and auto-leveling suspension, ventilated and heated Nappa leather seats, massage-level comfort through ventilation and seat design, a heads-up display, and a premium Bose 14-speaker system. It also has the same kind of full luxury suite you saw in the top XC90 Ultras, including heated everything, memory seating, panoramic comfort features, and all the driver assistance tech.
The big difference is refinement and technology. The EX90 feels like the newest version of Volvos design philosophy. The cabin is cleaner, more digital-focused, and less traditional wood-and-button heavy. Its more minimalist luxury compared to the classic Volvo luxury feel in the XC90.
As a 7-seater, it directly replaces the XC90 in terms of size and purpose, but it feels more modern and more premium in execution. Ride quality with adaptive suspension is excellent, especially over rough roads, and it feels more stable and heavy in a good way, like a true flagship EV SUV.
Compared to your best XC90 Ultra or T8 Lounge-type builds, the EX90 wins on technology, smoothness, and performance feel. The XC90s still have the advantage in familiarity, long-term simplicity, and charging flexibility (especially plug-in hybrids), but the EX90 is clearly the more advanced and more future-proof product.
In your entire list, this is one of the top-tier options overall, sitting at the very top along with the best XC90 Ultra configurations, but for different reasons. The XC90 Ultra is peak traditional luxury SUV. The EX90 Ultra is peak modern electric luxury SUV.
