Weekend with the 2025 Volvo EX90: My Favorite Features
This past weekend, I had the chance to drive the all-new 2025 Volvo EX90, Volvo’s fully electric three-row SUV. Going into it, I expected a luxury experience, but what impressed me most were the smart features, hidden gems, and everyday practicality that made the EX90 so easy (and fun) to live with.
Here are some of my favorite things I discovered:
All-Electric Power & Range Confidence
The EX90 is powered by a fully electric dual-motor setup that delivers instant torque and smooth acceleration. I’ll admit I was nervous about whether the battery would last all weekend, but it easily handled everything I threw at it. With a long range on a full charge and fast-charging capability, range anxiety wasn’t even an issue.
A Camera System That Makes City Driving Easy
I spent a lot of time downtown, where parking can be stressful. The EX90’s 360-degree camera system was one of my favorite features. It gave me a crystal-clear view of every angle, which made parking in tight spots and navigating narrow streets a breeze.
Roomy for Everyone
At one point, I had four adults in the car, and we were all comfortable. That’s not something you can say about every three-row SUV. The EX90 makes great use of space, with a roomy second row and a usable third row that’s perfect for families or groups of friends.
Bright, Spacious Cabin with a Giant Sunroof
The panoramic glass sunroof might be my favorite design element. It makes the entire cabin feel open, bright, and airy during the day, and at night it offers a beautiful view of the city lights. Combined with the clean Scandinavian design and sustainable materials, the interior is both calming and luxurious.
Everything at Your Fingertips
One hidden gem I discovered: nearly every function is controlled through the large infotainment center. Opening the glove box? It’s a button on the screen. Popping the trunk? Same thing. It keeps the cabin clean and minimal, while still being incredibly functional.
Smart Keyless Entry
Instead of carrying around a bulky key fob, the EX90 comes with a sleek card key. I was skeptical at first, but it was surprisingly convenient. It fit easily in my wallet and simplified my routine.
Seamless Apple Maps Integration
I used Apple Maps every single day, and the integration with the EX90’s center display was flawless. The huge screen makes navigation easy to follow, and having familiar apps right at my fingertips made the drive even smoother.
Safety You Can Feel
Volvo has always been known for safety, and the EX90 raises the bar with advanced driver-assistance features. With Lidar-based technology, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and collision avoidance, the SUV always felt like it was watching out for me. I never felt nervous in traffic or on the highway.
Quiet, Comfortable Ride
One thing that stood out the moment I hit the highway: how quiet the cabin is. Wind and road noise are minimal, and the suspension absorbs bumps for a smooth, luxurious ride. Conversations with passengers were easy, even at higher speeds.
Premium Sound System
For music lovers, the available Bowers & Wilkins audio system is a dream. It delivers crisp, powerful sound that turns your favorite playlists into a concert experience.
Easy to Maneuver
Despite being a three-row SUV, the EX90 doesn’t feel bulky. Steering is responsive, handling is precise, and it was surprisingly easy to maneuver through downtown streets and tight parking ramps.
Cargo Space + Extra Storage
In addition to the spacious rear cargo area, the EX90 also has a convenient front trunk (“frunk”) that’s perfect for storing groceries, backpacks, or anything you want to keep separate. The flexibility makes it just as practical as it is luxurious.
Head-Turning Exterior
Of course, the EX90 looks just as good as it drives. With sleek, modern lines, Volvo’s signature “Thor’s Hammer” headlights, and a sophisticated stance, it draws attention wherever you go. It’s futuristic without being flashy. The perfect balance of elegance and strength.
Final Thoughts
After spending the weekend with the 2025 Volvo EX90, I can confidently say it’s more than just a luxury SUV. It’s a thoughtfully designed, family-friendly, and technology-packed vehicle that’s built for real life. From the hidden gems like the infotainment-controlled glove box to the panoramic sunroof and advanced safety features, the EX90 impressed me at every turn.
If you’re curious about what it’s like to drive one, I’d highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself. This SUV is the future of Volvo, and it’s ready today.
