2026 Volvo ES90 revealed as brand’s most car-like EV yet

Volvo’s first electric vehicles (EVs) have been SUVs and people movers, but now it has revealed an electric sedan.

Or has it? Volvo says its new ES90 – due here late in 2025 – isn’t simply a sedan, and instead blurs boundaries.

“Some might say it is a sedan. Others will see a fastback, or even hints of an SUV. We’ll let you be the judge,” the company says in its press release.

Volvo says it combines the “refined elegance of a sedan, the adaptability of a fastback, and the spacious interior and higher ground clearance associated with SUVs”, with none of the compromises of those body styles.

Conceptually, then, it’s reminiscent of the

, another product from under the Geely Holding Group umbrella.

Technically it’s not a sedan but rather a liftback, much like the Polestar, and there’s 424L of boot space. This expands to 733L with the rear seats dropped, and these can be folded individually.

There’s also 22L of space under the bonnet.

While it sits higher than the petrol/plug-in hybrid S90 sedan, Volvo says it still has a drag coefficient of 0.25 – not the best in the market, but the best figure of any car the brand has ever built.

A choice of four wheel options are available, ranging from 20 to 22 inches in size, while the ES90 can be had in seven different exterior finishes.

It rides on the SPA2 architecture underpinning the EX90 electric SUV, and sits on a 3.1m-long wheelbase.

The ES90 also uses the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack, a single set of hardware and software modules that’ll be used in all the brand’s upcoming electric cars.

Volvo will offer the following variants:

Single Motor Extended Range: Up to 245kW, 0-100km/h in 6.9 secondsTwin Motor: Up to 330kW, 0-100km/h in 5.5 secondsTwin Motor Performance: Up to 500kW, 0-100km/h in 4 seconds

Range is up to 700km under the WLTP cycle in dual-motor all-wheel drive models with the 106kWh battery, and up to 650km in the Single Motor Extended Range with its 92kWh battery.
