Introducing the new Volvo ES90
Blending the sleek look of a saloon with the easy access of a wide rear tailgate, the new Volvo ES90 gives you a fresh take on a premium electric car. It feels elegant from the outside, but it also works hard in everyday life with generous rear legroom, a practical boot, and the kind of calm, high-quality cabin you expect from Volvo.
The ES90 stands apart from earlier large Volvo models because it is built from the start as a next-generation electric car. You get faster charging, stronger computing power, and more advanced sensing technology, all wrapped in a shape that feels more modern than a traditional executive saloon. It is the kind of car that suits long motorway runs, daily commuting, and family use without feeling overcomplicated.
If you want to see how it feels on the road, you can book a test drive with Vertu.

New Volvo ES90 safety features
- The ES90 is built around Volvo’s latest safety thinking, with advanced sensing systems designed to detect risk early and support the driver before a situation gets worse.
- Safe Space Technology uses a high-mounted LiDAR sensor above the windscreen to detect objects up to 250 metres away, even in complete darkness.
- LiDAR support helps the car build a clearer picture of the road ahead in poor light, which can improve collision avoidance in situations where the human eye sees less.
- Collision avoidance and mitigation systems help monitor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists around the car.
- Run-off Road Mitigation can help if the car starts to leave the road unintentionally.
- Cross traffic alert with auto brake helps when reversing out of a driveway or parking bay.
- Blind Spot Information System supports safer lane changes on dual carriageways and motorways.
- The driver understanding system monitors for signs that the driver may be distracted or not fully focused.
- The occupant sensing system can detect movement inside the car, which helps reduce the risk of leaving a child or pet behind.
- Multiple airbags, side impact protection, and Volvo’s strong passenger cell all work together to protect occupants in the event of a collision.
New Volvo ES90 practicality and space
- The ES90 has a large rear opening and hatchback-style tailgate, which makes loading bulkier luggage much easier than with a traditional saloon boot.
- Boot space is generous enough for family luggage, weekly shopping, or airport runs, and the wide opening helps when lifting in larger items.
- A front storage compartment gives you a separate place for charging cables, helping keep the main boot clear.
- The long wheelbase gives rear passengers plenty of legroom, which makes a difference on longer journeys.
- The flat floor in the rear helps the cabin feel more open and makes it easier for passengers to move around when getting in and out.
- Split-folding rear seats make it easier to carry longer items without losing the full rear bench.
- Twin Motor versions can tow up to 2,000kg, which adds useful flexibility for buyers with trailers or leisure equipment.
- The seating position makes entry and exit easier than in a lower executive saloon, especially on repeated daily trips.
New Volvo ES90 tech and convenience
- 800V Ultra-Fast Charging is one of the biggest real-world benefits of the ES90. It supports peak charging speeds of up to 350kW, and on a compatible fast charger you can add 186 miles of range in just 10 minutes. In simple terms, that means a short stop on a longer trip can make a big difference instead of turning into a long wait.
- Safe Space Technology with LiDAR adds an extra layer of awareness to everyday driving. The LiDAR unit mounted above the windscreen can detect objects up to 250 metres away, even in complete darkness, which helps the car spot potential problems earlier on dark roads, in poor weather, or when visibility is limited.
- Dual-Core Computing Power gives the ES90 the strongest computing setup Volvo has used so far. Powered by a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration, it acts like a supercomputer on wheels, helping manage AI-based safety systems, battery optimisation, and over-the-air updates. For everyday driving, that means the car’s key systems can react quickly, work smoothly, and keep improving over time.
- Google built-in gives you Google Maps, Google Assistant, and app support directly through the car, making route planning and voice control feel familiar from the first drive.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto help you connect quickly without relying on cables.
- The large central touchscreen gives you a clear place to manage navigation, charging, media, and vehicle settings.
- The 360° camera with 3D view helps you place the car accurately in tighter spaces, which is especially useful in a large executive EV.
- Over-the-air software updates mean the ES90 can continue to improve without needing a workshop visit every time software changes are released.
- Premium audio and high-end cabin technology on higher trims make the ES90 feel more like a quiet lounge on long journeys than a conventional company car.
Can I buy a new Volvo ES90 on finance?
If you want to spread the cost of a premium electric car, you can buy a Volvo ES90 on finance through Vertu. Some drivers want lower monthly payments and options at the end of the agreement, while others prefer a more direct route to ownership from the start.
Available options can vary by trim, deposit, and agreement term, but the main finance routes usually include:
- PCP, or Personal Contract Purchase, which can suit drivers who want lower monthly payments and more end-of-agreement flexibility.
- HP, or Hire Purchase, which can suit buyers who want to pay towards full ownership from the start.
- PCH, or Personal Contract Hire, which can suit drivers who want to lease the car for a fixed term rather than own it.
For a more detailed breakdown of how these options work, read car finance explained.
Where can I buy a new Volvo ES90
You can buy a new Volvo ES90 through Vertu and get support from a team that understands both the Volvo range and the extra questions that often come with moving into a premium electric car. Seeing the ES90 in person matters, because its shape, cabin space, and technology make more sense when you can sit in it, open the tailgate, and compare specifications properly.
A Volvo dealership visit also gives you the chance to talk through charging, equipment differences, and ownership costs in plain language. Vertu’s focus on customer service helps here, especially if you want to compare the ES90 with other electric Volvo models or discuss part-exchange and finance.
When you visit, you can also browse other new Volvo models and compare them with the wider range of new cars in stock. If you already know the ES90 is the one you want, it makes sense to book an appointment or enquire online and move things forward.
New Volvo ES90 FAQs
What warranty cover should I expect on a new Volvo ES90?
A new Volvo ES90 comes with Volvo’s standard new car warranty, and the high-voltage battery is covered separately for longer-term reassurance. Volvo also offers extended warranty support, which is worth considering if you plan to keep the car well beyond the initial cover period.
Is the new Volvo ES90 easy to park in tight spaces?
For a large executive EV, yes. The 360° camera with 3D view helps you see the car’s position clearly when reversing or edging into tighter spaces, and the route guidance graphics make it easier to judge where the car is heading. That takes a lot of stress out of driving a long premium car in multi-storey car parks or tighter urban bays.
Which new Volvo ES90 trim should I choose?
Plus will suit many buyers because it already gives you the main ES90 strengths, including advanced safety systems, premium cabin quality, and the key digital features. Ultra is the better fit if you want the fullest luxury and technology package, especially if comfort, premium audio, and a richer specification matter just as much as range.
Are the tech features of the new Volvo ES90 easy to use?
Yes. The layout feels modern, but the core systems are easy to understand because Google built-in makes maps, voice search, and app support feel familiar. The biggest advantage is that the technology is there to reduce effort in daily driving, not add extra complication.
What insurance group is the new Volvo ES90 in?
Insurance can vary depending on the exact version, power output, trim, and repair costs. As a guide, a Plus Single Motor Extended Range version will usually be the easier starting point, while a Twin Motor Performance car in Ultra trim is likely to cost more to insure because it is quicker and more expensive.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Volvo ES90?
If your annual mileage is predictable and you want simple monthly budgeting, a fixed plan can make sense. If your mileage changes from year to year, a more flexible option may suit you better. Either way, it is worth checking current Volvo servicing options so the plan matches how you actually use the car.
