Volvo opens order books for upgraded EX90

Volvo Cars is opening the order books for the 2026 Volvo EX90, now enhanced with hardware and software upgrades. Powered by the company's new 800V electric system, the EX90 can charge even faster, while a core computer upgrade enables new and improved safety, collision avoidance, and driver support features.

New features include connected safety alerts for slippery roads, hazards ahead, and accidents ahead, along with the integration of automatic e-call (varies by market) functionality with Emergency Stop Assist (ESA), which is designed to bring the car to a controlled stop in its lane if the driver fails to respond to attention or hands-off warnings. Once stationary, ESA will automatically connect the car to an emergency call centre linked to Volvo Cars, who can then contact emergency services if needed.

The Volvo EX90's new 800V electrical architecture enables faster charging speeds

Other new features include expanded automatic emergency steering functionality in darkness, along with Park Pilot assist for parallel parking, and an upgrade to a dual NVIDIA Drive AGX Orin-based core computer. Regarding the latter, it isn't just limited to new EX90s: Owners of the 2025 EX90 will receive a one-time free upgrade of their car's core computer through a scheduled Volvo workshop visit.

The new 800V architecture also reduces heat generation during charging, enabling faster charging speeds. This is further improved by Volvo's in-house developed battery management software. Using a smart algorithm, it works in tandem with the 800V system to optimise charging, making it significantly faster than previously possible and adding up to 250km of range in just 10 minutes.

Additionally, the EX90 will now come with an electrochromic panoramic roof, first introduced on the recently launched Volvo ES90. This new roof lets you adjust the glass transparency, helping to reduce glare or boost privacy at the touch of a button.
