What launches on October 12
Two flagship electric Volvos launch together. The EX90 is a three-row electric SUV. According to Autocar India, it will sit above the combustion-powered XC90 in Volvo's line-up. The ES90 is an electric sedan, and it brings a Volvo sedan back to India for the first time since the S90 was discontinued in 2024.

Expected EX90 price: two estimates, no official figure
The two published estimates do not agree, and neither comes from Volvo.
| Source | Expected EX90 price |
|---|---|
| Autocar India | Rs 1.40 to Rs 1.50 crore (ex-showroom) |
| CarDekho | Rs 1.20 crore |
| Volvo (official) | Not announced |
These are ex-showroom estimates. Do not start budgeting until the ex-showroom figure is official. Once it is, run it through the IndiCar on-road price calculator to see what you would actually pay in Mumbai.
Volvo EX90 specifications
The EX90 uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with a 106kWh battery, according to Autocar India. Output is 456hp and 670Nm. The performance and range figures below are Volvo's own claims.
| Specification | Volvo EX90 |
|---|---|
| Drive | Dual-motor AWD |
| Battery | 106kWh |
| Power and torque | 456hp, 670Nm |
| 0-100kph (claimed) | 5.5 seconds |
| Top speed (claimed) | 180kph |
| Range (WLTP, claimed) | 625km |
| Seating | Three rows |
| Touchscreen | 14.5-inch |
| Driver display | 9-inch |
| Audio | Bowers & Wilkins |
WLTP is a test-cycle figure. It is useful for comparing cars against each other. It is not a promise of what you will get on the Western Express Highway or in stop-start traffic on the way to Bandra.
What each step up the range adds
There is no EX90 range to climb. Autocar India reports a single, fully loaded Ultra variant, so you will not be choosing trims. The real choices are between models.
- EX90 Ultra (the only variant): dual-motor AWD, 106kWh battery, 456hp and 670Nm, three rows of seats, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a 9-inch driver display and a Bowers & Wilkins sound system.
- Step from XC90 to EX90: you move from Volvo's combustion-powered XC90 to its electric flagship, which sits above it in the line-up. The facts available do not list the XC90's equipment, so ask the dealer for a side-by-side feature sheet before you decide.
- EX90 or ES90: the EX90 gives you three rows and SUV body style. The ES90 is a sedan with an 800V electrical architecture and up to 350kW DC fast charging in international specification. Those charging figures are not confirmed for India.
With one variant, the price Volvo announces is the price of the whole car. You will not be able to save by dropping to a lower trim.
Volvo ES90: the sedan returns
The ES90 is the first Volvo sedan in India since the S90 left in 2024. Autocar India says it will come as a CBU import. It expects a price of Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.20 crore (ex-showroom).
The figures published so far are international specifications:
- Battery options of 92kWh and 106kWh
- 800V electrical architecture
- DC fast charging of up to 350kW
Volvo has not said which battery the India car gets. Autocar India positions the ES90 as a cheaper alternative to two German electric luxury sedans:
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| Volvo ES90 (expected, Autocar India) | Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.20 crore (ex-showroom) |
| Mercedes-Benz EQS | Rs 1.30 crore |
| BMW i7 | Rs 1.95 crore |
If the ES90 lands inside Autocar India's estimate, it undercuts both on purchase price. That comparison covers the sticker price only. It does not cover running costs, insurance, servicing or resale, none of which are known for the ES90 yet.
Which one suits you
The deciding factor is seating, not price.
- Choose the EX90 if you need three rows. It is the only one of the two that offers them. Its claimed 625km WLTP range and 106kWh battery are the headline numbers.
- Choose the ES90 if you want a luxury electric sedan and see the EQS and i7 as too expensive. On Autocar India's estimate it costs less to buy than either. Running costs are not yet known.
- Wait if you are weighing the EX90 against the XC90. The gap between them depends on a price Volvo has not announced.
The estimates do not support a firm verdict yet. The EX90 estimates differ by a wide margin between sources, and the ES90's India battery is unconfirmed. Hold off on paying a booking amount until the official numbers are out.
