Volvo EX90: The Future of Safety Lands in SA in 2025
Forget "safe as a Volvo" – the all-electric EX90 arriving in South Africa in 2025 redefines automotive safety. This isn't just another family hauler; it's a rolling tech showcase boasting an "invisible safety shield."
Think cameras, radars, and even LiDAR, all feeding data to powerful computers running Volvo's own software and NVIDIA DRIVE. It's like having a guardian angel riding shotgun.
But don't think safety means boring. The EX90 Twin Motor Performance variant packs a 380 kW and 910 Nm punch, good for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.9 seconds.
Need to cover serious ground? No problem. This seven-seater SUV boasts a whopping 751 km of range in urban driving and 604 km combined. Range anxiety? Ancient history.
Volvo is taking on the big guns with the EX90, going head-to-head with the BMW iX, Audi e-tron, and Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. But with its cutting-edge safety tech, Scandinavian luxury, and impressive performance, the EX90 is ready to shake up the luxury EV market.
Stay tuned for local specs and pricing later this year. This is one Swede you won't want to miss.
