- Volvo’s ES90 will be an electric-only sedan, set to replace the S90 with advanced tech.
- It might share powertrains and a platform with the EX90, promising dual-motor AWD.
- Expected to debut in March 2025, the ES90 will likely come with a 111 kWh battery pack.
Volvo’s 90/90 Day turned into a 90/90/90 event as the company teased the upcoming ES90 at the end of the EX90 and XC90 presentation. It came as a bit of a surprise, but the company has embraced a ‘one more thing’ approach as of late.
While the automaker didn’t have anything to say about the car, other than it’s coming in March of 2025, they showed its silhouette. The model appears to be an evolution of the S90, but it may be equipped with a roof-mounted lidar sensor like the EX90.

Additional details are hard to make out, but we can see a strong shoulder line and a familiar greenhouse. They’re joined by new taillights and a trunk with an integrated spoiler.
Volvo is staying tight-lipped, but previous reports have suggested the model will ride on the SPA2 platform that underpins the EX90. The connection to the latter will apparently be deep as the two models will reportedly share a 111 kWh battery pack. It’s possible the vehicles could also share powertrains and, if that’s the case, we can expect dual-motor all-wheel drive systems with outputs of 402 hp (300 kW / 408 PS) and 510 hp (380 kW / 517 PS).
The ES90 is rumored to measure 196.5 inches (4,990 mm) long, 76.6 inches (1,945 mm) wide, and 60.9 inches (1,547 mm) tall with a wheelbase spanning 122.1 inches (3,102 mm). If those numbers pan out, the model would be 3.9 inches (100 mm) shorter than the S90, but have an extra 1.6 inches (41 mm) between the wheels.
The ES90 is expected to be built in China, which could mean facing stiff tariffs in several markets, including North America and Europe. However, we’ll likely learn more in the coming weeks.
