The all-new 2024 Volvo EX90 has landed in North America for the very first time at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas that kicks off on January 4 with the press day.
Volvo’s EX90 isn’t only important as the brand’s latest electric SUV but also because it will be produced at the automaker’s South Carolina manufacturing plant starting later this year. Pre-orders have already opened in the U.S. and those interested can configure their cars in the fall and receive prioritization when deliveries begin in early 2024.

The car manufacturer is showing the EX90 at CES alongside Google and Luminar. It also plans to announce and demonstrate a number of new technologies later in the week.
Volvo will sell two versions of the EX90, both underpinned by a 107 kWh battery pack that supports 250 kW DC charging and can be filled from 10-80 per cent in just 30 minutes. The entry-level variant has a pair of electric motors that combine to deliver 408 hp and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque while the Performance model lifts these figures to 510 hp and 671 lb-ft (910 Nm), meaning it can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in an impressive 4.9 seconds.
Like all other Volvo models, the EX90 has a keen focus on safety. Indeed, it features one long-range lidar, 5 radars, 8 cameras, and 16 ultrasonic sensors. The lidar featured comes courtesy of Luminar and is able to see small objects roughly two football fields ahead in both day and night and at highway speeds.
A comprehensive suite of technologies are also found in the cabin. These include a 14.5-inch central infotainment system with Google built-in, meaning it offers seamless integration of Google Assistant, Google Maps navigation, and a host of apps from Google Play. It also supports wireless Apple CarPlay.
