Volvo Car India has officially confirmed the India debut of its much-awaited flagship electric SUV, the EX90, scheduled for August 19, 2026. This marks a significant milestone for the Swedish automaker as it expands its electric vehicle lineup in the Indian market. The EX90 will be Volvo’s second dedicated EV offering in India following the smaller EX30, and it serves as the brand’s global flagship electric model.
Volvo has been steadily advancing its electrification strategy in India, with a clear roadmap to introduce more electric models. The EX90 joins an existing portfolio that includes models like the EX30, and it is expected to be followed by the ES90 electric sedan later in 2026. These launches underscore Volvo’s commitment to bringing one new electric vehicle to the market annually while aiming for a fully electric lineup by 2030.
Positioned as a premium 7-seater luxury SUV, the EX90 is built on Volvo’s advanced SPA2 platform with an 800V architecture. This enables faster charging, improved efficiency, and superior performance compared to previous generations. The model is anticipated to be priced in the ₹1.2–1.5 crore (ex-showroom) range, targeting buyers in the high-end luxury electric SUV segment alongside competitors like the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, BMW iX, and Kia EV9.
The EX90 offers flexible powertrain choices tailored for different needs:
- 92kWh Single Motor (RWD): Features a rear-mounted electric motor producing 333 hp and 480 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in a claimed 6.6 seconds and delivers a WLTP-rated range of up to 565 km.
- 106kWh Twin Motor (AWD): Dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup for enhanced traction and performance. Global variants in this configuration typically offer higher outputs (around 400+ hp) and ranges exceeding 600 km WLTP in optimal conditions.
The 800V system supports rapid DC fast charging, with reports indicating the ability to add substantial range (around 250 km) in approximately 10 minutes on compatible high-power chargers. Battery options use advanced lithium-ion packs (gross capacities around 104–111 kWh depending on variant), with strong emphasis on safety and longevity.
True to Volvo’s design philosophy, the EX90 features clean Scandinavian styling with a minimalist yet premium interior. It offers spacious 6- or 7-seat configurations, making it ideal for families. Key highlights include:
- Advanced LiDAR-equipped sensor suite for enhanced safety and future-ready autonomy capabilities.
- Level 2 ADAS with features like adaptive cruise control and 360-degree cameras.
- Premium infotainment, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and over-the-air (OTA) update support for continuous improvements.
Safety remains at the core, with Volvo’s renowned standards including multiple airbags, advanced driver monitoring, and structural integrity optimized for electric vehicles.
The arrival of the EX90 is expected to strengthen Volvo’s presence in India’s growing luxury EV segment. With improving charging infrastructure and rising demand for premium electric SUVs, the model is well-positioned to appeal to customers seeking a blend of performance, luxury, sustainability, and Volvo’s legendary safety credentials.Official pricing, exact variant details for India, and full feature specifications will be revealed closer to the August 19, 2026 launch date. Enthusiasts and potential buyers can expect more updates from Volvo Car India in the coming months.
