Volvo ES90

The 2026 Volvo ES90 arrives as a luxurious, all-electric fastback that prioritises serene comfort and cutting-edge 800-volt charging technology.

It’s set to challenge established German rivals by offering a distinct, minimalist Scandinavian experience with a strong focus on advanced safety and driver wellness.

1. Body Style and size segment it is (including dimensions)

The ES90 is a large, electric five-door fastback sedan. It competes in the premium executive segment. Key approximate dimensions are: Length 5,000mm, Width 2,054mm (mirrors folded), and Wheelbase 3,102mm.

2. Platform architecture including voltage plus Range & Efficiency

It is built on the advanced SPA2 platform and is Volvo’s first EV to feature an 800-volt architecture, allowing ultra-fast charging. The Twin Motor variant offers up to a 435-mile (WLTP) range from its 106 kWh battery pack.
