In terms of safety, this eagerly awaited vehicle features an innovative “invisible safety shield” that integrates advanced sensors like cameras, radars, and LiDAR to provide enhanced protection for occupants and other road users.
“The EX90 has garnered significant international acclaim, and we are delighted to introduce it to the South African market,” stated Felipe Yagi, Head of Marketing & Communications at Volvo Car South Africa. “With its cutting-edge safety features and luxurious interior, the EX90 embodies the essence of a flagship Volvo, redefining the concept of electrified luxury.”
Addressing range anxiety, the EX90 offers an impressive 751 km of range in urban driving conditions and 604 km on the combined cycle on a single charge. Its 111 kWh battery can be rapidly charged from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes using a 250 kW DC fast charger. The Swedish automaker provides a diverse range of electrified options, including battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and mild hybrids. By 2030, Volvo aims for electric vehicles, encompassing BEVs and PHEVs, to constitute 90-100% of its global sales.
Local pricing and specifications for the EX90 lineup will be unveiled closer to the South African launch later this year.
