Volvo will launch its EX90 SUV and ES90 saloon in India on October 12

The Swedish maker has confirmed that both cars arrive on 12 October as its top electric models here. The ES90 is the more notable of the pair, returning Volvo to the luxury-saloon segment it left when the S90 was withdrawn in mid-2025. The SUV is pitched at the Mercedes-Benz EQS and Kia's EV9, the saloon at BMW's i5.

Both ride on Volvo's SPA2 base with 800-volt electrics. Entry cars use a 92kWh pack and a single rear motor good for 333hp and 480Nm; the larger 106kWh option splits into a Twin Motor at 456hp and a Twin Motor Performance at 680hp with 870Nm. In the SUV, the sprint to 100kph falls from 6.6 seconds to as little as 4. Charging peaks at 350kW DC, enough for a 10-to-80 percent fill in 22 minutes across the range.

The EX90 stretches 5,037mm on a 2,985mm wheelbase, close in size to the XC90 but styled apart with T-shaped 'Thor's Hammer' lamps, a closed-off nose and a roof-edge LiDAR; Volvo quotes a 0.29 drag figure. The lower ES90 slips through the air better still at 0.25, the slipperiest Volvo yet. Inside, a 14.5-inch portrait screen dominates, backed by a 13.2-inch head-up display. The SUV seats seven as standard against the saloon's five, and both carry Level-3 assistance and vehicle-to-load power; the EX90 holds five-star ratings from Euro NCAP and its Australasian counterpart, while the ES90 has not yet been tested.
