It looks like Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) is gearing up to launch the Volvo EX90, as the electric SUV has been spotted in Petaling Jaya by paultan.org reader Ismail Mohd. Earlier this month, the company confirmed the EX90 would be its next new model launch this year.
The EX90 first made its global debut in November 2022 but faced production delays, with units only rolling off the line in mid-2024. Compared to the XC90, the EX90 is a larger vehicle that measures 5,037 mm long (versus 4,950 mm), 1,964 mm wide (vs 1,923 mm), 1,747 mm tall (vs 1,776 mm) and has a wheelbase that spans 2,985 mm (vs 2,984 mm).
In terms of powertrains, the EX90 is offered with two all-wheel drive configurations. The first is known as the Twin Motor and packs 408 PS (402 hp or 300 kW) and 770 Nm, while the second option is the Twin Motor Performance with 517 PS (510 hp or 380 kW) and 910 Nm.
Both feature a nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery with a gross energy capacity of 111 kWh (107 kWh usable), enabling a WLTP-rated range of 600 km (Twin Motor) or 590 km (Twin Motor Performance). For charging, the EX90 supports a maximum AC input of 11 kW, which will get the battery fully charged in approximately 10 hours. With DC fast charging at a peak rate of 250 kW, a 10-80% state of charge is reached in about 30 minutes.
The EX90 has already gone on sale in Thailand, where the available kit includes 20-inch wheels, LED headlamps, panoramic glass roof, 9.0-inch instrument cluster display, 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 14-speaker Bose sound system and four-zone climate control. Ultra variants get air suspension system with adaptive damping, high-def pixel LED headlamps with active high beam, massage function for the front seats and a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins 3D sound system.
We don’t any indication on pricing just yet, but we can only refer to Thailand for some idea. Over there, the EX90 starts from 4.29 million baht (about RM565k) for the base Plus/Twin Motor variant, while the top-spec Ultra/Twin Motor Performance (available with either six or seven seats) is 4.89 million baht (RM644k). The XC90 is currently listed with only a sole Ultra/T8 AWD PHEV variant that goes for 4.69 million baht (RM618k).
