New seven-seat SUV joins XC90 in showrooms as a technological trailblazer for Volvo’s all-electric future
New 90-series Volvo SUVs like the Volvo EX90 tend to live long and notable lives.The first-generation Volvo XC90 was still remarkably popular despite being the brand’s oldest car on sale in the UK by the time the second-generation XC90 arrived in 2014, that car ushering in new everything for Volvo under Geely ownership.Platform, engines, styling: the current XC90 set the tone for the most successful-ever era of Volvos. Like the original car before it, there are plans for it to go on for some time yet, having just had a big facelift.But it will not be the only seven-seat SUV in Volvo’s range any more. The EX90 is an all-new electric model, and like its range-mate introduces a whole host of new technology and features that will follow on other Volvos.For now, the EX90 and XC90 will dovetail, but if the XC90 is where Volvo is, the EX90 is where it is going.
