Volvo is charging ahead with its latest creation, the ES90, an all-new, fully electric sedan that represents the future of the brand’s luxury and sustainability goals. In a recently released teaser video, Volvo provided a brief glimpse of this upcoming flagship model, set to make its grand debut in March 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden.
A Glimpse of Volvo’s First Electric Sedan
As the first electric sedan from Volvo, the ES90 is positioned to set new standards in the premium electric vehicle market. Built on Volvo’s bespoke electric platform, the ES90 shares much of its DNA with the EX90 SUV, including a powerful 111 kWh battery. This electric platform will support an array of advanced software systems, ensuring the ES90 offers a driving experience that seamlessly combines luxury, technology, and sustainability.
Size, Power, and Range: What to Expect from the Volvo ES90
Leaked details suggest the Volvo ES90 will measure approximately five meters in length and will be available in both single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive configurations. With a usable battery capacity of 107 kWh, the ES90 is expected to comfortably surpass the EX90 SUV’s impressive range of 300 miles, making it a formidable contender in the electric vehicle space.
A Sedan with Global Appeal, Built with China in Mind
While the ES90 has been primarily developed with the Chinese market in mind, where the demand for luxury sedans is particularly high, it is set to make its mark in other key markets, including Europe and the UK. The model’s global appeal is underscored by its distinctive design, which takes inspiration from the EX90. The recent teaser video, premiered during the “90/90 day” event in Gothenburg, showcased the ES90’s silhouette, highlighting a more forward-leaning A-pillar that hints at a departure from Volvo’s current sedan lineup.
Underpinnings and Performance: Built on Geely’s SEA Platform
Underneath its sleek exterior, the ES90 is expected to utilize a variant of Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, known for its modularity and adaptability. This platform supports a diverse range of vehicles, from the affordable Volvo EX30 to the high-performance Lotus Emeya, showcasing its versatility and advanced engineering.
Competing with the Best: The ES90’s Rivals
When it arrives in showrooms, the Volvo ES90 will face stiff competition from established rivals like the BMW i5, Mercedes-Benz EQE, and Audi A6 e-tron. However, with its unique blend of Scandinavian design, cutting-edge technology, and renowned safety credentials, the ES90 aims to carve out a significant niche for itself in the luxury electric sedan market.
