2026 Volvo ES90

As previously announced, Volvo has officially launched its new electric car, the Volvo ES90. With this model, the Swedish manufacturer wants to return to the market race with models like the BMW i5 and Mercedes-Benz EQE.

The ES90 is built on the SPA2 platform with 800-volt technology, and equipped with advanced air suspension and an active chassis that ensure ultimate comfort while driving. Its design is reminiscent of the Polestar 2, with a roofline that gently slides back and merges with the tailgate and C-shaped LED taillights. On the front part are T-shaped daytime running lights.

The interior, which is quieter than ever before, is made of sustainable materials and natural colors, and is inspired by Scandinavian nature. In front of the driver is a 9-inch screen, four-zone climate control, a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins stereo, and a 14.5-inch central touchscreen. It is powered by superfast infotainment processors, provides access to many Google applications and supports the 5G network. The car is equipped with the highest level of safety and uses internal and external sensors. The ES90 is also the most aerodynamic Volvo model with a drag coefficient of 0.25.

The ES90 also has a dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin configuration that can process over 500 trillion operations per second. It also allows for over-the-air upgrades, which will improve the car’s capabilities over time.

When it comes to the powertrain, the ES90 will be offered in three variants. The version with a single motor and 329 hp has rear-wheel drive. It is equipped with a 92.0 kWh (88.0 kWh usable) battery pack that provides a range of 400 miles. The version with two motors has 442 horsepower, has a larger battery pack and range of 435 miles.

The most powerful version is the ES90 Twin Motor Performance, powered by two electric motors with a total output of 670 hp, has a 106 kWh battery pack and a range of 700 km (435 miles). The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent capacity in about 20 minutes thanks to a fast charger. It reaches 62 mph in 4 seconds with a top speed of 112 mph.

2026 Volvo ES90 coming soon

On March 5th, Volvo will launch its new electric car, the Volvo ES90.

At first glance, it seems that the ES90 shares a lot with the Polestar 2, such as the wing mirrors, low suspension and T-shaped daytime running light technology. Although Volvo is keeping the details under wraps, it is known that unlike the Polestar 2, which is built on the 400-volt CMA platform, the ES90 will use the 800-volt SPA2 platform.

It will be equipped with a 106 kWh battery that will provide a range of up to 700 kilometers, and a ten-minute charge will be enough for a range of up to 300 kilometers.

After the premiere, we will know more details and the price of the car.

Volvo recorded a drop in sales in January

2024 was the most successful year ever for Volvo, but the beginning of 2025 does not show continued sales growth. According to the company, in 2024 the Swedish brand sold 8% more cars than in 2023.

The start of the year for Volvo was not expected, at least that is what the sales results for January show. Although the Swedish brand expected continued sales growth, the opposite happened, and in the first month Volvo managed to sell only 50,820 vehicles worldwide. However, the company hopes that hybrids and EVs will play a major role in the future, which can be inferred from the growth in demand for these cars.

In January, Volvo delivered 22,398 hybrids and EVs, which is 17 percent more than in the same month a year earlier. Customers mostly chose PHEV models (12,693 units), which accounted for 28 percent of total sales. On the other hand, EVs were less in demand, but still registered a growth of 5% (9,705 units).

The best-selling mmodel was the XC60 (18,972 units), followed by the XC40/EX40, while the least demanded was the XC90, which recorded a drop in demand compared to January 2024.

It should also be noted that the demand for cars with combustion engines and mild hybrids has fallen. They recorded a 17 percent drop in demand compared to 2024.

Volvo is one of those manufacturers that strongly believes in the future of EVs, and they showed that in October 2024 when they announced that the EU must not abandon the ban on the sale of ICE cars after 2035. They and 49 other car companies have signed a declaration with which they unreservedly support the EU decision, even though they announced that they will continue to produce cars with combustion engines after 2030, but they will have mild hybrid systems and will be produced in limited series.
