Volvo EX90 headlights may convince you to switch to an EV with this charming wink

The Volvo EX90 electric SUV makes an immediate impression with its iconic Volvo LED headlights.

The Volvo EX90 has now launched globally as the full electric equivalent to the long running XC90.

It delivers strong performance for a family sized EV while maintaining an extensive set of Volvo safety tools.

This refreshed EV design is guaranteed to turn heads, but one charming little feature might just be its selling point.

Volvo EX90 power and range

The Volvo EX90 uses a 111 kWh battery and dual motors that produce about 402 horsepower.

The electric SUV accelerates smoothly and maintains even grip through its all-wheel-drive setup.

A compatible fast charger can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in around thirty minutes, and the range figure of close to 300 miles places the Volvo EX90 within the expected bracket for larger EVs.

LED headlights remain one of the most recognisable parts of the Volvo EX90.

They create a clean beam pattern that improves visibility at night and adjust to surrounding traffic with their adaptive function.

The LED headlights also include a cute little mechanical sequence that gives the front lights a brief wink when you approach the car or unlock it, and the high beam modules open like tiny eyes when they activate.

You can check it out in the video at the top of this page.

LiDAR safety technology gives the Volvo EX90 a broader view of the road than standard camera systems.

A roof mounted LiDAR sensor scans the environment and works with radar and camera units to identify objects at significant distances.

This supports driver assistance features in varied lighting and weather.

LiDAR safety tools also help the system detect smaller obstacles that cameras can miss.

The interior stays in line with Volvo’s focus on simple layouts.

The touchscreen manages navigation, climate and media, and physical controls remain for the essentials.

Seven usable seats and a quiet cabin help the electric SUV suit both commuting and family use.

The Volvo EX90 starts at about US $81,290 in the United States and around AUD $124,990 in Australia, which makes it a fairly pricey electric SUV but still in line with what many new EVs cost today.

Volvo EX90 and the shift to electric

The Volvo EX90 sits at the top of Volvo’s electric SUV lineup and replaces the XC90 as the primary three row option for buyers looking to move into an EV.

Its architecture was built to support future software updates that can introduce new driving features or refine existing ones.

This gives the electric SUV a longer relevance cycle than many traditional models.

The market position of the Volvo EX90 gives Volvo a foundation for further EV development.

It sits above smaller electric SUV models and signals how the company plans to scale its battery technology and safety systems across the lineup.

Even as Volvo’s first full size electric SUV, the quality and depth of features in the Volvo EX90 place it firmly among the most capable EVs in its class.

Drivers who want a roomy electric SUV without moving into the luxury performance bracket will find a strong match here.

For anyone considering an EV that balances space, safety and long distance usability, the Volvo EX90 stands out as a genuinely practical choice.
