Volvo ES90 Ultra launched in Malaysia, 651 km WLTP range, 350 kW DC charging, RM339,888

KUALA LUMPUR: Volvo has expanded its electric vehicle line-up in Malaysia with the launch of the Volvo ES90 Ultra, a new all-electric premium sedan offered as a single, fully specified variant.

In Malaysia, the Volvo ES90 Ultra is priced at RM339,888 (on-the-road, without insurance). Booking opens today, with deliveries scheduled to begin in March.

Volvo is also running an early bird offer, buyers who book on or before 31 March 2026 will get 2% off the vehicle price, while fleet operators are offered a higher 8% off the vehicle price as an early bird deal within the same period.

The ES90 Ultra is backed by Volvo Car Malaysia’s standard warranty coverage, which includes a five-year, unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty, a high-voltage battery warranty of eight years or 160,000 km (whichever comes first), and five years of complimentary roadside assistance.

Positioned as a long-range EV for daily use and long-distance driving, the ES90 Ultra combines a rear-wheel drive single-motor setup and a claimed WLTP range of up to 651 km, alongside Volvo’s latest safety and connectivity technology.

In terms of performance, the Volvo ES90 Ultra's single rear-mounted electric motor produces 245 kW (333 hp) and 480 Nm of torque.

This allows the all-electric sedan to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 6.6 seconds, with top speed electronically limited to 180 km/h. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via a single-speed transmission, aligning the ES90 Ultra with Volvo’s focus on balanced performance rather than outright acceleration figures.

Energy storage comes from a lithium-ion, nickel-rich NCM battery with a 92 kWh gross capacity and 88 kWh usable. On the charging front, the ES90 Ultra supports Type 2 AC and CCS2 DC charging. A full 0–100% AC charge takes around 15 hours using a 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, or 10 hours via an 11 kW three-phase setup.

For DC fast charging, Volvo quotes 10–80% in 22 minutes when connected to a 350 kW DC charger, while the same charge window takes 82 minutes on a 50 kW DC charger.

Inside, the ES90 Ultra comes standard with a 14.5-inch centre touchscreen, a 9-inch digital driver display, and a head-up display. Audio is handled by a Bowers & Wilkins high-fidelity sound system, while connectivity features include Volvo Car Connect Plus, Volvo Cars App, Volvo On Call, Digital Key Plus, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, over-the-air updates, and Volvo’s core computing architecture.

Google-based services, including Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play Store, are included for five years, after which a subscription renewal is required.

Comfort and convenience equipment is extensive. The ES90 Ultra features Active Air Suspension, Pilot Assist with Lane Change Assist, Park Pilot Assist, and a 360-degree camera system with 3D view. Seating highlights include power front seats with memory and four-way lumbar support, power side bolsters, ventilated front and rear seats, front seat massage, and power-reclining rear seats.

Other features include a power-operated tailgate, key card, rain sensor, one-pedal drive, laminated windows, a four-zone electronic climate control system, and an electrochromic panoramic sunroof.

Safety is covered by Volvo’s Safe Space Technology, which comes standard on the ES90 Ultra. Driver assistance and active safety systems include Collision Avoidance and Mitigation, Oncoming Mitigation by Braking, Pedestrian, Cyclist and Scooter Steering Avoidance, Intersection Auto Brake, Rear Collision Warning and Avoidance, Blind Spot Information System with steer assist, Lane Keeping Aid, Run-off Road Mitigation, Oncoming Lane Mitigation, Rear Cross Traffic Alert with low-speed auto brake, and Door Opening Alert. The ES90 also includes Driver Understanding System, Occupant Sensing, and Emergency Stop Assist.

Passive safety equipment consists of dual-stage front airbags, Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags, inner side airbags, a driver’s knee airbag, full-length inflatable curtain airbags, a passenger airbag cut-off switch, WHIPS whiplash protection for the front seats, ISOFIX rear seat mounting points, and safety belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, including electrically reversible retractor belts.

The Volvo ES90 Ultra in Malaysia rides on 22-inch wheels finished in a glossy black, matt graphite, diamond-cut design, wrapped in 255/40 R22 tyres at the front and 285/35 R22 tyres at the rear. A tyre pressure monitoring system and temporary mobility kit are included.

Exterior colour options offered locally include Vapour Grey, Crystal White, Denim Blue and Onyx Black, while the cabin is finished in a Charcoal interior with ventilated Charcoal Nordico upholstery and Birch Wood décor.
