Volvo EX90 launched in India at Rs 1.26 crore

Volvo has launched the EX90 electric SUV in India at Rs 1.26 crore, ex-showroom. The full-size six-seater goes on sale with a 106 kWh battery, 456 bhp, and a claimed range of 625 km on a single charge. If you have been waiting for Volvo's flagship electric in India, the wait is over.

What you get for Rs 1.26 crore

The EX90 is Volvo's largest electric SUV and the price puts it squarely in the top-end luxury electric space. The six-seat layout sets it apart from most rivals in this segment that offer either five or seven seats. With 456 bhp on tap, performance should be in line with what buyers at this price expect.

ES90 sedan not launching alongside

Volvo was widely expected to bring the ES90 electric sedan to India at the same event. That has not happened. The ES90 was not announced at this launch and no India price, launch date or specification has been confirmed for it. If you were planning to hold out for the sedan, there is no timeline to wait for just yet — your decision for now is entirely about the EX90.

Who should be looking at the EX90

At Rs 1.26 crore, the EX90 sits in territory occupied by the likes of the BMW iX and Mercedes EQS SUV. The 625 km claimed range addresses the biggest anxiety around long-distance electric travel, and the 106 kWh pack is one of the larger batteries in this segment. If a six-seat electric luxury SUV fits your brief and your budget, there is no reason to delay a visit to a Volvo showroom.
