Inside, the flagship SUV is expected to offer a large touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital driver's display, a premium Bowers & Wilkins audio setup and a suite of advanced driver assistance features.
Internationally, the EX90 is available with multiple powertrain options, but the India-spec model is likely to arrive in a fully loaded guise featuring a 106 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. This setup develops 462 bhp and 670 Nm of torque.

Volvo claims the EX90 can travel up to 625 km on a single charge under the WLTP test cycle, while testing under Indian driving conditions has yielded a higher claimed range of 724 km. The flagship electric SUV also supports ultra-fast DC charging of up to 350kW, allowing the battery to be replenished from 10 to 80 percent in around 22 minutes under optimal conditions.
