In an era where the automotive landscape is rapidly shifting toward electrified mobility, Volvo continues to lead the charge in marrying performance with practicality. The Volvo EX90, the brand’s flagship fully electric seven-seat SUV, has been rightfully recognised for its all-around excellence, receiving the prestigious Luxury Family Car of the Year accolade at the 2024 TopGear.com Awards. This award solidifies the EX90’s status as a standout in its class, combining the best of electric performance with user-centric design and unparalleled practicality.
A Comprehensive Package for Modern Families
The Volvo EX90 isn’t just an electric vehicle; it’s a solution to the complex demands of modern family life. As families seek more sustainable and convenient options, Volvo’s commitment to designing cars that offer both environmental responsibility and everyday usability has never been clearer. The EX90 seamlessly blends these elements, offering an efficient, fully electric powertrain that effortlessly meets the needs of families, without compromising on comfort or performance.
Ollie Marriage, TopGear’s Head of Car Testing, was particularly impressed by the vehicle’s ability to cater to all occupants. “I’m not sure we’ve ever come across a car that better caters to all occupants than the Volvo EX90. It combines the benefits of electric power with genuinely thoughtful cabin design,” he said. “Electric power is the right thing for families. It’s easier to manage, and the EX90 is so smooth, so quiet, so effortless that driving it doesn’t occupy you, making it easier to deal with any chaos going on in the back.”
Effortless Electric Power Meets Thoughtful Design
The EX90’s electric powertrain is a marvel of smoothness and quiet efficiency. Its near-silent operation creates a serene driving experience, allowing parents to focus on the road – and the kids in the back – without distraction. This quiet, effortless drive is complemented by a spacious and well-thought-out interior that prioritises comfort, convenience, and versatility. Whether it’s the intuitive controls, ample storage space, or the spacious seven-seat configuration, every detail has been meticulously designed to enhance the family journey.
TopGear’s reviews of the EX90 further solidified its reputation as a game-changer in the electric vehicle market. Describing it as “the first genuinely convincing premium school run car of the electric era,” the publication lauded the EX90 for being “better thought out and more user-friendly than any other electric family SUV.”
