The Auto Grid Review
Volvo EX90 Review: Our Verdict
The EX90 is too new for us to have built up real condition data — most of what we've seen so far is pre-delivery inspection work rather than correction on a used, driven car. What its size and shape tell us: the T-shaped pixel headlamps and the connecting rear light bar are the two most expensive single components on the car, and the flush door handles need careful masking so the ground-lighting function isn't disturbed. At 5 metres and ₹1.26 crore, this is a car that gets protected in full from the day it's delivered, not after the first stone chip shows up — and being Volvo's first software-defined vehicle here, any bodywork near its sensor-dense nose should go hand in hand with a recalibration check.
What we like
- +Current, excellent 5-star Euro NCAP rating — 92% adult occupant protection
- +625km WLTP range and 800V architecture with rapid DC charging
- +Genuine 6-seat flagship comfort, with massaging seats and a 4-zone climate system
- +Volvo's first software-defined-vehicle platform in India brings OTA updates to the flagship
What we’d change
- –₹1.26 crore is an introductory price with no stated expiry
- –CBU import — no local-assembly cost advantage over the XC90
- –No India-specific Bharat NCAP confirmation, only the global Euro NCAP result
- –Deliveries only begin January 2027 — a genuine wait even for early bookers
Is the EX90 right for you? Seven driver personalities, scored
Find the row that sounds like your driving life — that is the verdict that matters for you.
City Commuter
10–30 km a day through traffic
A 5-metre electric flagship is composed in traffic, but its sheer size makes it oversized for city-only commuting.
Highway Cruiser
ORR laps and expressway weekends
625km range, Pilot Assist and air suspension make the EX90 an outstanding long-distance cruiser.
Family First
Four or five aboard, school runs to road trips
A current 5-star Euro NCAP rating, genuine 6-seat comfort and third-row AC make this one of the strongest family flagships on sale.
Driving Enthusiast
Cares how it steers, not just how it looks
456hp is quick in a straight line, but this is a comfort- and tech-focused flagship, not a driver's SUV.
First-Car Buyer
Budget-conscious and resale-aware
At ₹1.26 crore, with running costs and a charging routine to match, this is nobody's first car.
Chauffeur-Driven Executive
Judged from the rear seat
Massaging seats, a quiet cabin and genuine third-row comfort make the EX90 a strong chauffeur-driven choice.
Weekend Explorer
Ghats, dirt tracks and monsoon roads
Active air suspension raises clearance to 250mm, giving it more genuine off-tarmac ability than most electric SUVs, though it's still fundamentally road-focused.
Paint Protection
PPF for the Volvo EX90: What We Install and Why
Where it takes damage
The sensor-dense nose, T-shaped pixel headlamps and the connecting rear light bar are the most expensive, most failure-sensitive panels on the car, and the flush door handles' ground-lighting function needs care during any masking.
Our recommendation
AG1 Square full body is our standard recommendation for a flagship at this price, with any front-end work paired with a sensor recalibration check given the car's software-defined, sensor-dense nose.
Coverage
Full body standard, with focused protection and calibration-aware handling around the front sensor cluster and headlights.
