Volvo ES90 Electric Liftback ends up with 800-volt-tech, 670 hp

Volvo presented the ES90 on Wednesday, a fully electrical, medium-sized buoyancy and the latest member of the flagship of the 90s series.

The ES90 serves as an electrical alternative to the S90, but instead of the conventional trunk of this model, it has a sloping rear hatch to facilitate access to the load holder. The rear storage room is 15 cubic feet and extends to almost 26 cubic foot, with the rear seats being folded flat. The ES90 also has a long wheelbase of 122.1 inches and a total length of 196.9 inches. A drive strand option provides up to 670 hp for performance enthusiasts.

The ES90 is the second model of Volvo based on the SPA2 -dedated EV platform after the EX90 medium -sized SUV, which was a model in 2025 last year. The time for the ES90 in the USA was not announced, but it is already available for ordering in some European countries. Volvo said that the ES90 would be introduced later this year and in 2026 in other markets.

Although the ES90 arrives only one year after the EX90, the ES90 are used in the new technology for the Spa2 platform. Among these is an 800-volt-electric system, so that the ES90 is charged faster than any earlier Volvo EV rates of up to 350 kW and at the same time improves charging efficiency. The EX90 has a 400-volt-electric system.

Volvo said that every component in the electric system of the ES90 was designed so that they are operated 800 volts, including the battery cells, engines (also lighter), inverter as well as loading and heating systems. This means that it is unlikely that the system will be retrofitted to EX90S. However, this is not the case for the Dual Nvidia Drive Agx Orin Chips of the ES90, which, according to Volvo, is offered as an inexpensive upgrade for existing EX90 owners. The additional computing power supplied by the chips enables faster processing of data for safety functions on AI-based sensor data, battery management and in-car media.

The battery options include 92 and 106 kWh units, whereby the maximum loading rate of the smaller battery is limited to 300 kW instead of the full 350 kW of the larger battery. The smaller battery is also limited to individual engine models that have a maximum output of 329 hp. The larger battery is shown for a dual-engine all-wheel drive structure, which in standard Guise 442 HP and in the performance variant the 670 hp mentioned above delivers a space for acceleration of 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds. The top speed is limited for all models with 112 miles per hour.

The new 800-volt system, which is linked to the latest battery management system from Volvo, enables the larger battery to add about 186 miles in just 10 minutes if a suitable DC fast charger is used. According to Volvo, a fee of 10 to 80% can also be completed in just 20 minutes with an estimated area of ​​435 miles.

For comparison: The EX90 with the 400-volt system only adds 112 miles in 10 minutes and takes 30 minutes to charge from 10 to 80%. These area estimates are based on the WLTP test cycle used overseas and would result in lower numbers under the stricter EPA test cycle.

In the cabin, a 9.0-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch touchscreen from Google apps are secured as in current Volvo models, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto being maintained. Digital key functionality and a 25-spokesman audio system from Bowers & Wilkins are available. For the exterior, buyers can choose between 20 and 22 inches in size from seven colors and four -wheel options.

The ES90 is just one of five new or updated Volvos that start this year. In February, Volvo unveiled the robust EX30 Cross Country and an updated XC60. Additional models are expected to contain an updated S60 compact sedan and a long-distance plug-in hybrid tailored to the Chinese market. The current S60 will leave the US market after 2025 and is not expected to return. Volvo has not yet announced the US start -timing for these new models.
