title：Volvo EX90 Review: Usable Tech, Comfort & 7-Seat Practicality

content：Opening: Fixing the EX30’s Usability Pain Points

If you’ve heard complaints about Volvo’s EX30 electric SUV—like its overly touchscreen-reliant interior driving users mad—you might approach the EX90 with caution. But after testing this 7-seat flagship, I can say it’s a relief: the EX90 fixes those usability issues while bringing cutting-edge EV tech to Volvo’s top line. This isn’t just an electric XC90; it’s a future-proofed SUV with integrity, as we’ll explore.

The EX90 uses Volvo’s new SPA2 platform, a bespoke architecture for electric vehicles. It packs a 111 kWh battery and, most notably, two Nvidia supercomputers handling 250 trillion commands per second. This power isn’t just for show—it supports the EX90 being a software-defined vehicle. Unlike phones that slow down with updates, the EX90’s hardware is built to get better over time, with meaningful updates (like new driver-assist features) rolled out regularly.

Volvo’s focus on software is a smart move. As the video notes, this is the future of car making—where software, not just mechanical parts, defines the driving experience.

Gone are the EX30’s all-touchscreen woes. The EX90 adds a driver display (cyclable for nav or speed) and a head-up display (slightly off-center for peripheral vision). These features mean you don’t have to glance away from the road to check critical info.

Driving the EX90 is relaxing. In normal mode, it rides smoothly—avoiding the heavy, cumbersome feel some EV SUVs have. It has a nice turn of pace, too. While the BMW iX remains a favorite for dynamic driving, the EX90 runs it close in comfort and ease of use.

The EX90’s 7-seat layout is a key selling point. The third row isn’t ideal for long trips, but it’s perfect for short journeys—something few electric SUVs offer. Rivals like the Kia EV9 are cheaper, but the EX90 has Volvo’s signature integrity: it feels solid, well-built, and true to its brand values.

If you’re choosing between EV SUVs, the EX90 is worth considering for its space and usability, especially if you need seven seats.

1. Try the driver display and head-up display combo to see if it fits your driving style.
2. Sit in the third row to confirm it works for your family or passengers.
3. Ask the dealer about the software update schedule (how often and what features are coming).
4. Compare it side-by-side with the BMW iX (for dynamics) and Kia EV9 (for value).
