Volvo Cars has reached a defining milestone in its electrification journey with the commencement of production for the new, fully electric Volvo ES90 for European markets. As the company accelerates towards a fully electric future, the ES90 embodies Volvo’s signature ethos: safety, sustainability, and Scandinavian design, seamlessly integrated into a modern, electric sedan.
Designed for a life in balance, the ES90 is the first Volvo to feature 800-volt technology, enabling longer driving ranges and faster charging than any previous Volvo electric vehicle. Its advanced powertrain, coupled with next-generation core computing and the Superset tech stack, ensures the ES90 evolves continuously through over-the-air software updates, keeping the car at the forefront of innovation throughout its lifecycle.
Safety and Design, Reinvented
At the heart of the ES90 lies Volvo Cars’ pioneering safety technology. Every feature, from advanced driver-assistance systems to reinforced passenger architecture, reflects the brand’s commitment to protecting not just its occupants but everyone on the road. All of this is packaged within a sleek, Scandinavian design that promises to be yet another classic in Volvo’s design lineage.
The ES90 introduces a new interpretation of vehicle versatility. By blending the refined elegance of a sedan with the practicality of a fastback and the spaciousness typically associated with SUVs, it creates a segment-defying car. This multi-dimensional approach ensures drivers enjoy the comfort and space expected from Volvo, without compromise.
A Step Towards Sustainability
Fully electric with zero tailpipe emissions, the ES90 represents more than just a new model; it signals Volvo Cars’ unwavering commitment to sustainability. Produced in the Chengdu plant using climate-neutral energy, the ES90 adheres to circular economy principles and responsible business practices. According to Volvo’s Life Cycle Assessment report from July, the ES90 achieves one of the lowest carbon footprints of any Volvo model to date, setting a new benchmark for environmentally responsible luxury vehicles.
Availability and Market Rollout
Volvo Cars has opened the ES90 order book across several European markets, with customer deliveries expected to commence later this year. Key markets in Asia Pacific will also soon have access to this innovative electric sedan.
Francesca Gamboni, Chief Industrial Operations Officer at Volvo Cars, emphasises the significance of this milestone:
“The fully electric ES90 marks a major milestone as Volvo Cars steps into a new era of safety, sustainability and human-centric technology. With production now underway, we’re reaffirming our commitment to a fully electrified future and proving our ability to innovate and meet customer demands.”
The ES90 is more than a car; it is a statement. It blends cutting-edge technology, uncompromising safety, and forward-thinking sustainability into a singular, versatile package. With the ES90, Volvo Cars is not just shaping the future of mobility—it is shaping it responsibly, intelligently, and elegantly.
