Join Mat Watson as he takes a proper look around Volvo’s brand-new all-electric flagship saloon! We’re putting the ES90 through its paces to see if it has what it takes to top the luxury executive EV class. From its ultra-sleek fastback design to its blazing 800-volt architecture that delivers rapid charging speeds from 10% to 80% in just over 20 minutes, we test all the latest tech, check out the rear legroom, and do a proper 0-60mph launch test! So, should you buy it, consider it, short-list it, or just plain avoid it? Let’s find out! Starting UK prices for the Volvo ES90 begin at £67,560 for the Single Motor Extended Range version, but you can head over to Carwow to compare dealer offers and save even more cash off the on-the-road price! Official WLTP figures show an impressive electric range spanning from 398 miles on base models up to a massive 432 miles on higher battery specs. What makes the ES90 so special is that it is Volvo's first purpose-built electric luxury saloon, moving away from their usual SUV line-up to deliver an aerodynamic fastback built on a next-generation platform. Underneath the sleek body, it features dual NVIDIA computing chips driving Google-built-in software and Volvo’s latest safety suite. Other incredible highlights include an available Twin Motor Performance setup pumping out up to 680hp for a blistering 0-62mph time of just 4.0 seconds. Inside the cabin, you get a luxury lounge experience featuring a massive 3.1-metre wheelbase for limo-like rear legroom, an optional electrochromic panoramic glass roof that dims at the touch of a button, an available 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system with Dolby Atmos, and full bi-directional charging capability.
