Inovev forecasts 25,000 units per year of the new Volvo EX90
- Volvo (Swedish subsidiary of Chinese group Geely) has revealed the battery electric replacement for its XC90 large SUV: the EX90. However, the replacement of the brand's flagship will be gradual, similar to what Renault is doing with the Mégane. So, the XC90 is expected to coexist with the new EX90 for several years before disappearing. As a reminder, the current XC90 (internal combustion engine model) was launched in 2014 and its predecessor had lasted for twelve years (2002-2014). So, it is possible that the current XC90 will survive at least until 2026.
- The main differences between the Volvo EX90 and the XC90 are that it is 100% electric and is built at the manufacturer's US plant in Charleston, South Carolina, along with the S60 sedan.
- Another model will hit the assembly lines at this plant: the Polestar 3 SUV, which is based on the same platform as the EX90, powered by the same electric motor and sold at a similar price. Only the design distinguishes the two models.
- The Volvo EX90 is 8 cm longer than the XC90 (5.03 m versus 4.95 m) and is still a seven-seat vehicle. Because of its size and price (over 100,000 euros), the new model will be aimed mainly at markets in the United States and China, which love this type of model. Overall, however, sales figures are not expected to be large. Inovev forecasts 25,000 units per year in the first years of launch (2023-2025) and 50,000 units per year after 2025.
- The Volvo EX90 can be equipped with one of two electric motors (300 kW and 380 kW) and a battery with a capacity of 111 kWh, providing a range of 580 km to 585 km, depending on the motorization.
