Volvo EX90 Launched in India at Rs 1.26 Crore
Volvo Car India has introduced its flagship all-electric luxury SUV, the EX90, in the Indian market at an introductory price of Rs 1.26 crore ex-showroom. Serving as the brand's new high-end flagship offering, the EX90 is positioned above its internal combustion engine counterpart, the XC90, within the manufacturer's lineup. Order books are currently open across the country, with customer deliveries scheduled to commence in January 2027. The model is built on Volvo's new SPA2 platform and represents the brand's first software-defined vehicle offering in the country.
The exterior embodies Volvo's minimalist design philosophy, featuring a closed-off front grille dominated by the central Volvo iron mark and Thor's Hammer LED daytime running lights. These lights incorporate a pixel-style signature that extends into the bumper, engineered to conceal the actual headlamps until activated. The vehicle rides on 21-inch alloy wheels and measures 5,037 mm in length, 1,964 mm in width, and 1,747 mm in height, with a 2,985 mm wheelbase. Standard ground clearance is set at 213 mm and can be elevated to 250 mm utilizing the four-wheel air suspension system.
Cabin Layout And Technology Suite
Inside, the cabin features lighter dual-tone color schemes paired with a deliberate reduction of physical controls. A vertical 14.5-inch portrait touchscreen running built-in Google services dominates the dashboard, supported by a separate 9-inch horizontal digital instrument cluster for the driver. The Indian-spec model is configured exclusively as a six-seater with three rows of seating, featuring second-row individual captain chairs that slide and recline to optimize passenger space. Standard cargo capacity is 324 liters, expandable to 690 liters with the third row folded, supplemented by a 46-liter front trunk.
Cabin amenities include a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system with Dolby Atmos support, four-zone climate control, wireless charging, and an electrochromic panoramic roof that adjusts opacity to manage sunlight. Front occupants benefit from heated, ventilated, and massaging seats. Safety equipment comprises nine airbags, a 360-degree camera, tire pressure monitoring, and Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems incorporating autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and driver attentiveness tracking.
Powertrain Performance And Charging Capabilities
Propulsion is handled by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system paired with a large 106 kWh battery pack, delivering a combined output of 456 bhp and 670 Nm of torque. The electric SUV accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, with top speed electronically capped at 180 km/h. Under the WLTP testing cycle, the driving range is rated at up to 625 km.
The 800V electrical architecture supports DC fast charging up to 350 kW, enabling a 10 to 80 percent charge replenishment in approximately 22 minutes. An 11 kW AC home charger requires about 10 to 11 hours for a full charge. Volvo is offering introductory benefits for customers booking the EX90 before December 31, 2026, which include a complementary 11 kW AC charger, a three-year service package, and an assured buyback scheme promising 65 percent of the vehicle value after three years.
What a luxury EV price omits
The ₹1.26-crore launch price is only the starting point for an ownership decision. Buyers should confirm whether it is ex-showroom, what equipment is included, home-charger installation requirements and the warranty coverage for the traction battery and high-voltage system. Real-world range depends on driving speed, temperature, climate control and wheel specification, while charging stops depend on usable battery capacity and the power actually delivered by public infrastructure. Advanced driver-assistance features must be described by their India-market activation status and driver-responsibility requirements, not just an international brochure. Practical family considerations include third-row space, luggage capacity with all seats occupied and the reach of specialised EV service centres.
