2026 Volvo ES90: The Classic Volvo Luxury Sedan, Electrified

2026 Volvo ES90: The Classic Volvo Luxury Sedan, Electrified

Posted on February 21, 2025 By rehan.rafique No Comments on 2026 Volvo ES90: The Classic Volvo Luxury Sedan, Electrified

Volvo has sold luxury sedans in the U.S. since the Eisenhower years. But, as the company has steadily gone electric, it has focused on SUVs (even if we’d argue that the EX30 is close enough to hatchback territory that it ought to pay taxes there). When will the first stately Volvo all-electric sedan finally appear?

It’s just “weeks away,” the company says.

Volvo has begun leaking out details to tease the arrival of its new flagship sedan, an electric vehicle (EV) called the ES90.

Advertising Big Power Figures, Just Not the Ones You’re Used To

In an earlier era, that would have meant dripping out horsepower figures and shadowy photos hinting at the car’s shape. In 2025, it means leaking out details about the tech stack and software in the car. Oh, and shadowy photos hinting at the car’s shape.

The ES90, Volvo says, will be “the most powerful car we have ever created in terms of core computing capacity.” With a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin core computer, it can perform “around 508 trillion operations per second (also known as TOPS).” That will allow it to use “AI-based, state-of-the-art active safety features, car sensors, and efficient battery management.”

It also enables Volvo to push out regular software updates to improve the car continuously.

Sensors powering its safety gear include “one lidar, five radars, eight cameras, and twelve ultrasonic sensors, as well as an advanced driver understanding system inside the car,” Volvo says.

The company has offered no information on how the car performs as a transportation device or a tool for ritually evening out the emotions and finding perspective on a long drive through gorgeous country. Experience tells us it will probably still work for those things.

But Volvo is now the third automaker so far in 2025 to advertise a car based on its TOPS rating (the Honda 0 Series Saloon and SUV and the Sony Honda Mobility Afeela 1 were both advertised based on their computation speed last month).

Updated S90 Look, Possibly EX90 Battery and Motors?

Those shadowy photos, for what it’s worth, show classic Volvo proportions. The ES90 may look like a mild evolution of the current S90. The images suggest it might lose some of the defined-shoulder look of current Volvo sedans, but otherwise, keep the S90’s rough shape intact. A sensor bubble protrudes prominently above the windshield — mercifully in a spot where replacing the windshield may not involve the expense of recalibrating the sensors.

We expect to learn more over the coming weeks as Volvo reveals details. Logic suggests it may borrow powertrain parts from the EX90  flagship SUV, which could mean nearly 500 total horsepower and a range of around 300 miles.
