It looks quite fresh and modern. Kris, also might be an idea to see if you can blag your way into Trollhattan to see the NEVS Emily GT?

[@joubaierjoubert7748]

LOVED THIS REVIEW KRIS…BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR CHANNEL SINCE YOUR ORIGINAL XC90 AND IM DEFINITELY IMPRESSED WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE XC90 TO THE EX90. ITS SOOOOO MODERN AND FRESH AND VOLVO IS TAKING A HUGE STEP IN ALL THE IDEAS THAT THEY SEE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY WITH THE XC90 IT WAS MORE THAT THEY WANTED TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT THEY COULD BUILD A PROPER LUXURY CAR NOW THEY ACCOMPLISHED THAT AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOW US THAT THEY CAN MASS PRODUCE ELECTRIC CARS THAT ARENT FUTURISTIC BLOBS LIKE MB IS DOING AND ALSO SHOW US A NEW FORM OF LUXURY AS WELL I DONT MIND THOSE WOOL SEATS AT ALL THEY ARE GORGEOUS I LIVE IN TEXAS AND IT CAN BE BLAZING IN THE SUMMER WHERE YOU CAN EASILY BURN YOUR THIGHS ON THE LEATHER SO I LOVE THE FABRIC OPTIONS AND THE TECHNOLOGY IS FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE REST OF THE COMPETITION I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU TEST DRIVE THIS BEAST SOON

[@Anuhassss]

By the way brother the last 2 seat a electric so they will com back up it came up in a diffrent video

[@davidcottrell570]

Like it. Look forward to seeing a test drive.

[@Atl404sFinest]

I think once I test drive the EX90 at my dealer, I’ll make the decision to take it home or not. If I don’t like it, I’ll upgrade my current XC90 to an Ultra trim with the B&W sound system.

[@kenhiett5266]

Minimalist buttons is a positive for me. I like to keep my cars immaculate and the least amount of dust traps the better. Most of the features buried in menus rarely get changed anyway. Toggling rear windows is the type of thing that will come naturally after the second time.

[@NS-mw9mk]

Wish they would show it with tinted windows. Also wonder if there will be a "bright" option instead of just black. Id love a classier looking version.

[@evkx]

Great walkthroug. Did they say anyhing about the 4 seater versjon. Will that be available in europe? That looks like the perfect cabin cruiser. (for a small family)

[@volvo_kristian]

Great video Kris 👌

[@dbs3432]

Gonna need a higher end interior. I get the move away from leather, but that is a difficult hurdle for me. I love the car, my only negative is my inexperience with this upcycled materials for the interior.

[@geiry.larsen2366]

Very Nice Chris! So, compared to The EQE/EQS SUV - Whats your feelings? Which one to choose?

[@KrisRifa]

Thanks mate! Haven't driven EQE SUV, but that is a much smaller car than this. Based on looks and interior layout and comfort, my money is still on for the EX90. That's why I have one on order, and not an EQS SUV. This is also WAY cheaper specced than the comparable EQS SUV.

[@vinnybruce2874]

I thought this is like electric vehicle for options with 2 vehicles, because it looks more like a concept look

[@neergh8886]

How do you think the EX90 will compare with the Kia EV9?

[@KrisRifa]

I think the EX90 will be much more luxurious inside and to drive, but EV9 is very interesting!

[@Anuhassss]

​@@KrisRifa you sure bro because the ev9 have all 6 seat electric seat and even the last row is electrically controlled also u can convert the seat almost in to a bed and also has massage function also it is as fast as the prrfomance volvo modle perfomance modle has so I think kia beats it

[@KrisRifa]

@@Anuhassss well Kia is not a premium brand and Volvo is, so pretty sure (even though I have not sat in an EV9) that the EX90 will be more luxurious and a more premium drive. Luxury and premium is not about features, it's about perceived quality

[@andreasl4507]

Polestar 3 the better car❤

[@briansmith9926]

I wonder, are those seats child prove? I hope they will be easy to clean.

[@sakariyemahamud1707]

I would bye one but I am still wating for the xc60 ev or ex60

[@SunBunBan]

I think they oversharpened their sword on this one. Lost the front grille that has so much equity with Volvo - way too plain and not distinct now. I could eventually accept the rear design, I think it's dramatic...but probably in a good way. The more sloping rear is a hard 'no', that's what gave the 3rd row it's roominess AND was another distinct Volvo feature that separated from the other SUVs. No buttons - would have appreciated some redundancies and relying on just a screen is nice in theory. In an effort to go so sleek and modern, it just stretched a little too far. My next Volvo will probably be another XC90 hybrid and wait to see what the EV market evolves to and how this particular vehicle ends up fitting in.

[@r5LgxTbQ]

let's hope the EX30 is similar (tbh only reason I'm bothering to watch this)

[@RamLin058]

Any news on battery type/tech?

[@dts7824]

AA batteries, not supplied

[@ram64man]

they should have kept the grill, , it looks to plain, the rear is perfect, but I wish it had a bit more interior, its too sparse

[@Exodos1234]

Car looks promising. There are some points though i have some objections. The position of Lidar sensors is a bug collector in warm months in southern climates and might block some functions, remains to be seen how it will perform, also it looks like a hump... Second is the headlight unit, it looks sci fi tech the opening and closing of the headlights BUT it is a useless function and costly one, too many moving parts in a headlight whose primary function is to point the light and make our roads visible, not useless greetings and so on since if something goes bad i guess it will cost a fortune to replace outside guarantee and some people keep their cars for extended periods and not just until guarantee expires. Also during daytime lights are in open or closed position? It they are in closed position and you have to signal someone with the high beams for example to avoid an accident during daytime then it is a respectable time to open up, flash and close again... Pointless. Cars should be functional not a light show off when you park or when you leave the parking spot...

[@davidcottrell570]

There’s a number of web references to the ZKW sourced lights. They are tested to open in less that 500ms, and the mechanism for the moving marker lights is supposed to last 300K cycles minimum. That said, all LED light nacelles are expensive to replace if damaged. My XC40 has pivoting low beams, but is designed to last the life of the car FWIW.

[@MrBobberone]

Is this color silver dawn or vapour grey?

[@KrisRifa]

I think it is Silver Dawn, I asked and nobody knew 😅

[@citroenbas]

@@KrisRifa It is definitely Vapour Grey. It comes as standard (at least in the Netherlands). I ordered a Denim Blue Performance, can’t wait.

[@Vamanos46]

Bingo 7:58 to 8:41

[@PeterbFree]

Are they going to make one with a real engine? Does anyone know? The depreciation of battery-powered cars makes the purchase unfeasible

[@benjaminsmith2287]

No.

[@tymanot]

Personally i do not like the back. Not elegant at all. Massive and huge car - it will be very thirsty for sure.

[@biddie868]

Did I miss the frunk?

[@Mr35000000]

Yes

[@Lukas001]

But no ai in the infotainment. It feels like a in between.

[@georgegiannopoulos]

Great review really. Disappointing "evolution" really.

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

You mentioned Vegan interior, then said wool on the seats, so it's not vegan

[@PeterbFree]

Thank God 🙏

[@burchgurler3182]

kris do not answer questions

[@ivanlowjones]

I still think Volvo should've named this Xe90.

[@lukemallory7832]

"I'd like to know about the XE90 please" "The XC90? Sure it's-" "No, the XE90!" "Yes, I heard you - the XC90." "No, the new XE90 - the electric thing." "Ooohhhh, sorry. Yeah it's not out yet. Also it's called the EX90. It's less confusing, you see!"

[@ivanlowjones]

@@lukemallory7832 Confusing to whom exactly? Just because you might find it confusing doesn't mean the rest of us would. I for one can differentiate the phonetics between an E and a C.

[@lukemallory7832]

​@@ivanlowjones It's not about the C and E but the X before hand. Ecks-Eee. Ecks-See.

No that is a ugly car. The worst design yet. i like ev just not this one. but a god in-depth tour

[@kenhiett5266]

I'm sorry to call you on it, but you're not anywhere near 178cm. Measure yourself flat footed without your shoes on and you'll be surprised to find out you're closer to 173cm.

[@PaulHo]

Into it, but it's not the C30 we wanted.

[@KEANUWHITE]

this should be in the 30,000 range, no reason for that price, hard pass

[@cotswoldphotographers]

Yes it is a pretty car and have previously owned both the XC60 and XC90 but as for the thing on the roof makes it look like a London taxi and imo look awful. I’m not a fan of the split rear lights either and prefer the all in one light configuration of old. I hate that the switchgear has changed and to follow VW is a huge mistake. You’ll definitely need all of that driverless functionality because you’ll spend all of your time looking through menus to do anything 🤦‍♂️

[@Machetero1240]

Nice thing is that it finally has a slot for the trunk curtain under the floor. Plus there is a lot space under the floor in trunk - for air compressor, rugs and cleaning liquids, etc.

[@omelvold]

Not to mention that it has a luggage compartment partition net. 👍 Unbelievable that only Swedish and German cars has this in 2023.

[@brysounds6629]

Nah… hard pass! What’s the deal with companies trying to give electric cars a “futuristic look”, but from a late 90s movie about the future… 🙄 Those rims are the worst part.

[@thom-lov]

Nice one Kris! 👍

[@KrisRifa]

Thanks Thom!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

The exterior front just looks like a blob, disappointing

[@Colin623]

The outside looks great from all angles, I like the interior design too, but from what you say Kris the interior needs to be a bit more premium to justify the price tag !

[@Machetero1240]

What exactly premium should be there?)

[@Colin623]

@@Machetero1240 Watch the video again !

[@Machetero1240]

@@Colin623 I saw it) I also drive XC90 and noticed that they corrected most of the minor omissions that had in xc90. Glossy scratch plastic removed, place for trunk cover (when 3d row is up), more storage under floor in trunk.

[@Colin623]

@@Machetero1240 That's my point really, it was Kris that pointed these things out on the video, so it's not my own experience on this occasion, but let's hope Volvo do rectify these omissions on such a premium car when it goes into production next year, I'm sure they will.

[@thechubbymagpie2018]

Regarding the Lidar. Volvo uses a much more high tech (and expensive) one from Luminar than what is in the Nio. So cant just be compared based on that both have them. Then also as you know, its down to the software. Have obiosuly not driven the EX90, but the ET7 and ES9. Those drive supports are truly terrible even compared to any older Volvo, Mercedes or what other car with a decent driver support. And the LiDAR in the EX90 is not mainly to make the driver assist better. That the cameras/radars is enough for. It is to be able to increase the safety of the support and to use even higher level of assist in the future, once legislation allow. On another note, great review!

[@YourDaddy-q2v]

is there any option to not get the 7 seaters ?

[@harriska]

To be fair, in my XC90 I havd never used the physical skip buttons I find that next to the big volume knob they are too small and difficult to reach when driving, use voice control or the steering wheel buttons. no big loss

[@omelvold]

Hmm.. that rear window wiper really stands out. Can’t be good for aerodynamics either.. Why not do like XPENG did with the G9, and hide it under the roof spoiler? (I don’t know who they copied.. 😂)

[@willyq25]

oof, if the EX30 has a similar interior with lack of buttons that will be a deal-breaker.

[@agustinliden6189]

I could actually imagine ordering a new Volvo EXC90.

[@_erinmarie]

Does it have built in sun screens? Or could you upgrade it?

[@mrshivamkhemlani628]

Whats the range of this beast😮

[@MauricioGarcesM]

Just WHAT’S the range ???!!!!

[@davidcottrell570]

EPA should be 300+. So far, we are looking at the Performance version.

[@CaryInVictoria]

Well done, Kris, a thorough and well-balanced review presented in your usual engaging manner. I am thinking that many buyers will have no use for the third row of seats. Can it be ordered without the third row, to increase cargo capacity and reduce cost? There is no configurator for the car where I live (Canada) so I can't answer the question myself.

[@evkx]

Not possible in Norway at least

[@KrisRifa]

Thanks mate, really appreciate it! Don't think there is a 5 seater option, but there will probably be a 6 seater option at some point. That won't help with cargo though...

[@lukemallory7832]

Dear God the interior is a disaster.

[@The_Observer72]

Just another boring car for over €100.000

[@davidcottrell570]

So don’t look!
