Looks boring. Looks like some Mach-E styling cues as well,
Also, another absurdly priced new car that the average American cannot remotely close to afford |

Volvo is saying this will come in well-equipped at under $80,000. The Polestar 3 is a size class smaller than the EX90, doesn't feature a third row, and starts at $85,000.

It is a luxury vehicle. Never was intended to be for an average American. Just like iX isn't for average American. You want average, wait for something like Honda Prologue which will be built on GM Ultium platform.

Nice addition to 7-seat EV availability, not many of them. Starts under $80k, so a lot more affordable than a Model X.

BIG emphasis on safe. massive. 3 hallmarks in the video were: Safety, Sustainability, Technology.
I feel like Safety is a baseline goal, not a hallmark. Different strokes... it's why I've never seriously shopped a Volvo - no soul, but I would bet that I've benefited from Volvo's comittment to safety and it's impact on the market. |

Freaking tablets.on.everything. Can design engineers actually do their job anymore and not just cut and paste?
I surely hope this all goes sideways the way digital dashes from the 80's did but my gut tells me it here to stay. People are different now and seal clapping for the mundane while the bean counters cream their shorts over the cost savings and still charge a premium. A small ray of hope with VW going back to some physical buttons but I have my doubts. Damn you Elon for unleashing the "just stick a tablet in it" plague upon us.

Every EV looks the same. That front badge being slanted would also drive me nuts.

Looks great to me! For those saying it looks boring...what do you expect for a 7 seat SUV? This is a vehicle designed for safe family duty, not tearing up the race track or being flashy around town.

The fact that you could slap any brand's logo on the steering wheel and never notice the difference because the interior of every single one of these cars looks exactly the same. There's no imagination. What will differentiate a Volvo from a Kia, Ford, Hyundai, etc interior?

Why even bring in track in ev suv discussion? Next time when you are on the road count how many exciting vehicles do you see that are not black, white or silver. |

Wish this was already out. Wife just signed for a gas XC90 today. I’m positive she would’ve taken this instead in a heartbeat.

I watched the live stream today of the unveiling. Good to see another EV 7 seater joining the fold. The only concern is the range of "up to 300 miles." It will be interesting to see where they land on that and how efficient the vehicle is. Anyhow, this will go into the consideration set when our current lease is up in 2024 along with the Rivian R1S.

The exterior is decent, but I find the outgoing XC90 and Volvo design language has a more expensive and elegant look to it. Something about this EX90 is too plain, especially the side. Maybe other colors and trims will show this off better. |
