Volvo has picked one of the biggest buying weeks of the year to make its biggest electric statement in India yet. The Swedish carmaker launched the EX90, its all-electric flagship SUV, in the country today at Rs 1.26 crore (ex-showroom), and confirmed that the ES90 electric sedan arrives alongside it, marking Volvo’s return to the luxury sedan segment after the S90 went off sale last year.
The timing is no accident. With Navratri celebrations underway and Diwali around the corner, showrooms across India are seeing the year’s strongest footfalls. Volvo is betting that a flagship electric launch right in the middle of this festive rush will give its premium EV range the push it needs against German rivals.
Price, bookings and delivery timeline
The EX90 comes to India in a single fully-loaded configuration priced at Rs 1.26 crore ex-showroom. Bookings are open now, with customer experience events and test drives scheduled to begin in November. Deliveries, however, will only start in January 2027, so early buyers are effectively placing festive-season reservations for a new-year delivery.
To sweeten those early orders, Volvo has announced a launch offer valid for all bookings made before December 31, 2026. It includes an 11 kW wall box home charger and a three-year service package, plus a 65 per cent buyback promise after three years through Volvo dealerships, a reassurance move aimed at buyers still nervous about electric luxury car resale values.
Battery, range and performance
The EX90 runs on a 106 kWh lithium-ion battery paired with a twin-motor all-wheel-drive setup. Combined output stands at 456 hp and 670 Nm of torque, which Volvo says is good for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.5 seconds. On range, the company claims up to 625 km on the WLTP cycle and up to 725 km on the Indian ICAT test cycle.
- Battery: 106 kWh lithium-ion, 800-volt architecture
- Power: 456 hp, 670 Nm, dual-motor AWD
- Range: 625 km WLTP claimed, up to 725 km ICAT claimed
- Seating: Six-seat layout with second-row captain chairs
Cabin tech and safety kit
Inside, the EX90 leans hard into the luxury brief. A 14.5-inch portrait touchscreen runs the infotainment, a 9-inch display sits ahead of the driver, and a 25-speaker Bowers and Wilkins sound system pumps out 1,610 watts. Four-zone climate control, air suspension, a panoramic electrochromic glass roof and power-folding rear seats round out the comfort list.
On safety, true to Volvo’s reputation, the SUV packs five cameras, five radars and twelve ultrasonic sensors, supporting Pilot Assist, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance and a 360-degree camera with a 3D view and auto park function.
The ES90 sedan joins the party
Sharing the stage is the ES90 sedan, Volvo’s first luxury sedan for India since the S90 was discontinued in June 2025. Built on the same SPA2 platform with the same 800-volt architecture, the ES90 is expected to share the 106 kWh dual-motor powertrain, with a claimed WLTP range of up to 702 km thanks to its sleeker, more aerodynamic body.
India-specific pricing and variant details for the ES90 are still awaited, though industry estimates place both cars in the Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.4 crore bracket. The sedan is expected to take on the BMW i5, while the EX90 squares up against the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and the Kia EV9.
Why this launch matters
Volvo India managing director Jyoti Malhotra described the EX90 as the company’s first software-defined vehicle in the country, signalling a shift in how Volvo sells cars here, with over-the-air updates and connected services at the centre. The brand’s electric line-up already includes the smaller EX30 and EC40, and the two flagships now sit at the top of that range.
The bigger picture is the Indian luxury EV market itself, which remains tiny but is finally seeing serious product action. With festive demand peaking, Volvo is clearly hoping the combination of a flagship SUV, a long-range sedan and a confident buyback promise will convert curious showroom visitors into EV believers.
