Volvo ES90: Detailed in 22 pics

Volvo has caused a stir in the premium electric sedan segment in Malaysia, with the launch of the all-new ES90. Designed to elevate the quality of life, this latest EV combines advanced technologies with Scandinavian design and superior comfort, redefining versatility and innovation in modern mobility.

Volvo Car Malaysia offers the ES90 in a locally assembled variant, the Ultra Single Motor Extended Range, priced at RM339,800 (on the road, excluding insurance). Included in the price is a standard 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty, 5-year complimentary 24-hour roadside assistance, and a 5-year complimentary Google services and connectivity package.

Today, we will discuss the styling, innovative technology, and features of the Volvo ES90 through a series of detailed images, highlighting what makes it a noteworthy addition to the Malaysian EV market. 

Exterior

There are conventional sedans, and then there’s the ES90. Underpinning the brand’s signature Scandinavian design, the EV has a confident and distinctive stance. The delicate lines flow from the bonnet and shoulders, forming a coupe-style silhouette with an aerodynamic edge. 

Headlights

The sedan comes equipped with Thor’s Hammer LED headlights as standard, featuring a wide light pattern for excellent visibility. These High-Definition Pixel headlights offer even sharper night driving thanks to 20,000 pixel modules that can instantly rearrange the light pattern to reduce glare and avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. 

Rear lights

The rear looks equally impressive with a large and wide tailgate and striking C-shaped LED lights paired with LED lamps in the rear window, creating a unique welcome and farewell light sequence. 

Wheels

The ES90 runs on 22-inch five-spoke diamond-cut alloy wheels, integrated with extended spokes. It is available in Glossy Black or Matt Graphite hues, which beautifully contrast with the wheel’s aluminium surfaces.

Performance silhouette

The ES90 is Volvo’s most aerodynamic vehicle to date, with a drag coefficient of 0.25 Cd. The car features a performance silhouette with a coupe-style roofline, flush windows and door handles, creating a tightly sealed body. It gracefully narrows at the rear to reduce drag.

Colours

Volvo Car Malaysia offers the ES90 in four exterior colours - Vapour Grey, Crystal White, Denim Blue and Onyx Black.

Interior 

Inside, the ES90 feels like a Scandinavian living room. The spacious and comfortable area features rich wood grain textures, slim door panels, floating armrests, and two angled displays. The car offers very generous legroom for second-row passengers thanks to its long wheelbase of 3.1 metres.

Ergonomic seats

The ergonomically designed seats offer exceptional comfort to all passengers on board. The sculpted front seats feature supportive headrests and slim backrests and come with power-adjustment, heating and lumbar support. For added comfort on long drives, the automaker has provided cushion extensions for thigh support, ventilation, and massage functions. The rear seats are power-reclinable and come with lounge armrests and wing-style headrests for enhanced support.

Upholstery

The EV features Nordico upholstery that not only offers a premium feel but also durability, with perforations that allow built-in fans to ventilate seats. It comes in a deep black shade named Charcoal, delivering timeless sophistication.

Infotainment system

At the centre of the dashboard sits a 14.5-inch new-generation infotainment system, offering easy access to navigation, entertainment, climate, your phone and more. The screen features an anti-glare coating, which resists smudges and reduces reflections to keep visuals crisp in any light. Making it responsive are sensors and an infrared film, allowing you to operate it even when wearing gloves.

Powered by the Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, the system is 5G capable and comes with Google built-in functionality, which includes services such as Google Maps, Google Assistant and more apps on Google Play. It supports over-the-air updates (OTA), Volvo Cars App remote functions, in-car communication, and wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity. 

Instrument cluster

Offering all essential driving-related information to the driver is a 9-inch driver display. It features 3 different views - 

• Calm: It shows speed and basic navigation prompts.
• Map: It adds a detailed map. 
• Surround: It can show the cars, trucks and motorcyclists around you.

Head-up display

The automaker also offers a 13.2-inch head-up display with the EV, allowing the driver to keep focus on the road. It projects essential information like speed, speed limits and navigation prompts directly onto the windscreen. You can adjust the brightness and position of the display, and it remains visible in a tunnel or after dark. 

Centre console

This centre console features a padded armrest with an illuminated storage compartment and a hidden spot behind the shelf. It can slide back the roll-top cover to access two cupholders. 

Sunroof

The latest Volvo EV houses an Electrochromic panoramic roof, enabling passengers to adjust the transparency of the glass. The infrared-coated, laminated tinted glass reduces blocks almost 80% of the sun’s heat and offers sound insulation.

Cabin lighting

As you enter the cabin, the welcome sequence lights illuminate the space, offering a luxury vibe. However, the lights dim when the gear selector is engaged to reduce distraction. Six customisable light themes gently shift through nuanced shades of colour inspired by Scandinavian landscapes, including Northern Lights, Archipelago, Forest Bath, Midsummer, Winter Bliss and Moonlight.

Audio system

Offering the occupants an exclusive sound experience is 1610- watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system. It is equipped with 25 speakers (including headrest and ceiling speakers) and offers pristine three-dimensional sound throughout the cabin.

Air-conditioning

The EV comes with a four-zone climate system incorporating an advanced air purifier. It can stop up to 95 per cent of PM 2.5 particulates from entering the cabin and remove 99.9 per cent of grass, tree and pollen allergens.

Wireless phone charger

The EV also has a wireless smartphone charging pad that can fit larger phones and delivers up to 15 watts, which is perfect for quick top-ups.

360° camera

Adding to the safety is a 360° camera with a 3D view. It uses the split-screen option on the centre screen for a near-180° front or rear view for better visibility. 

Boot space

The ES90 has a boot capacity of 424 litres, which can be expanded up to 733 litres with the rear seats folded down. There is also a 22-litre storage capacity at the front that is perfect for storing charging cables.

Drivetrain, range, and charging

Based on Volvo’s SPA2 architecture and Superset tech stack, the EV runs on a rear-mounted electric motor that generates a maximum power of 333 PS and a peak torque of 480 Nm. It runs from zero to 100 kmph in 6.6 seconds and achieves a top speed of 180 kmph. Feeding the motor is a 92 kWh NMC battery pack, which offers a WLTP-claimed driving range of 651 km.

The ES90 is the brand’s first passenger EV to use an 800V architecture, helping to unlock faster charging, a better overall performance and more efficiency. It goes further and charges faster than any electric Volvo before, claims the automaker. 

The EV supports ultra-fast charging and takes less time spent plugged in compared to previous Volvo EVs. Using a 350 kW DC charging, it juices up from 10 to 80% in just 22 minutes (adding 300 km of range in just 10 mins). However, the 11 kW AC charging takes almost 10 hours for a full charge.

ADAS systems

The ES90 comes with several advanced driver-assistance systems, backed by five radars, seven cameras, and twelve ultrasonic sensors. It is the first Volvo model that features a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration, making it the brand’s most powerful car in terms of core computing capacity. It forms the foundation for next-gen safety intelligence, AI integration, and data-driven optimisation.

So, that was the detailed gallery of the 2026 Volvo ES90. We hope this visual journey has provided you with a closer look at the striking, functional design and innovative tech of the latest Volvo EV in town.
