AT ONE TIME, Volvo’s decision to stop selling estate cars – announced last year – would have been as shocking as Hoover cutting ties with the vacuum cleaner industry. Now, though, the Swedish brand is just as well known for its range of impressive SUVs, headed up by the big (and big-selling) XC90.
This year – as part of Volvo’s drive to be an electric-only car brand by 2030 – the XC90 will be joined by the all-new EX90. Like the XC90, it offers a spacious interior with seven seats, but it’s powered by two electric motors instead of an engine. As such, its main rivals will be the Kia EV9 and Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. And price-wise, it sits between the two.
