WATT MATTERS?

The ES90 is Volvo's return to the large luxury sedan, this time designed around electric propulsion. Its quiet, restrained appearance is a welcome alternative to attention-seeking premium EVs.

THE BASICS

Australian model-year 2027 Plus and Ultra use the Single Motor Extended Range rear-drive powertrain, a 92 kWh nominal battery and 245 kW output. Both share a preliminary 554 km manufacturer range claim; Ultra adds equipment rather than a different powertrain.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

The ES90 could be particularly appealing to buyers who prefer a sophisticated sedan to another tall SUV. Its success will depend on comfort and efficiency being as convincing as the design.
