Volvo Teases the Electric ES90 Sedan Ahead of Global Reveal

Volvo currently offers four EVs in the U.S., but its lineup is expanding in other countries, previewing future models for our market. The automaker will show the new ES90 electric sedan on March 9, and we’re getting an early look at some of the car’s forward-looking tech ahead of the launch.

The ES90 rides on the same SPA2 platform that underpins the also-new EX90 SUV and will feature the same tech, dubbed the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack. Where the SUV has a single Nvidia Drive AGX Xavier chip, the ES90 gets dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin chips, making it significantly more powerful and capable of handling the intense AI-driven computations Volvo plans to throw at it. The EX90 will get the dual-chip setup in a future revision.

An advanced sensor array is also on board. Called Safe Space Technology, the suite includes 12 ultrasonic sensors, eight cameras, five radar units, and LiDAR. Volvo said the system can detect obstacles in all conditions, including after dark. The automaker also noted that it will improve functionality and add new features over time.

Volvo plans to end 2025 with five updated or all-new vehicles in its catalog, which include the EX30 Cross Country and a refreshed S60 sedan. While we don’t know when the automaker plans to release the ES90 in the U.S., but it will be interesting to see how tariffs and shifting trade policies impact Volvo’s schedule of imported models.
