Review and specifications
2026 Volvo ES90
Volvo's new ES90 all-electric flagship looks like a sedan, but its hatchback-style trunk opening and slightly elevated ground clearance put it somewhere between a car and an SUV. The optional dual-motor powertrain gives it all-wheel drive and battery range is expected to be between 300 and 350 miles on a charge. It's the first Volvo vehicle to feature an 800-volt electrical architecture, which allows for super-fast charging: the automaker says the battery can go from a 10-percent state-of-charge to 80 percent in 20 minutes at public DC fast chargers. The interior is dominated by a vertically oriented, Google-powered infotainment system. Active safety and driver assistance systems take advantage of LIDAR and quicker processing power than prior Volvos.

Brand context
About Volvo
Other brands have caught up, but Volvo maintains its deserved reputation for safety innovation and quality fit and finish. Volvos also stand out for its attractive exterior styling and for having some of the nicest interiors in the industry, with especially comfortable seats. The brand’s XC line of SUVs range from compact and two-row to midsized and three-row. Volvo also sells sedans and station wagons, along with several EVs, ranging from small to large. Most of Volvo’s new cars scored average or below-average in our reliability rankings, and the infotainment systems on many models are less intuitive than what you’ll find in competitors’ cars. Our testers have also found that Volvos aren’t great at absorbing bumps, and have average fuel economy. Among used Volvos, some models have proven to be reliable enough to earn our recommendation.
