Volvo EX90 Launched in India at Rs 1.26 Crore: Price, Range, Features and Rivals

Volvo India has launched the EX90 electric SUV Rs 1.26 crore (ex-showroom). It comes in one fully loaded Ultra variant with six seats, a 106kWh battery, dual-motor all-wheel drive and 456hp. Volvo claims a 625km WLTP range, and 350kW DC charging takes the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in 22 minutes. Bookings made before 31 December 2026 include an 11kW home charger, a three-year service package and an assured buyback. The price undercuts both the Kia EV9 and the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 SUV.

Rs 1.26 crore buys a lot of electric SUV. Volvo announced the price on Monday, 12 October 2026, and it lands below both of the EX90's obvious rivals. Here's what you get, where the compromises hide, and who should book.

What the price gets you

Rs 1.26 crore buys one variant: the fully loaded Ultra. No base model, no option-box maze. You pick a colour and you're done.

That's Rs 27.2 lakh more than the combustion-powered XC90, a car whose current generation is more than a decade old. The EX90 isn't an XC90 with a battery bolted in. It brings a new platform, a new cabin and far more technology, which explains most of the gap.

Prices are ex-showroom, as listed for New Delhi. Your on-road figure will change with the state you register in.

Range and charging

Think of 625km as the ceiling, not the promise. WLTP is a lab figure. Highway speeds and a hard-working AC will shave it, so plan around a lower number in daily use.

The bigger story is the 800V SPA2 architecture. It lets the EX90 accept up to 350kW on a DC fast charger, and that's where the 22-minute, 10-to-80-per-cent claim comes from.

The catch? You need a charger that can actually deliver that power, and plenty of public chargers deliver far less. On most stops, expect to wait longer than 22 minutes.

Design and size

The EX90 keeps Volvo's clean, upright look. Up front there's no grille, just the Volvo emblem between T-shaped LED headlamps with pixel-style daytime running lights. At the back, C-shaped LED tail-lamps join a black strip, and more lights flank the rear windscreen.

It's a big vehicle: 5,037mm long on 21-inch alloy wheels. Standard air suspension lifts ground clearance from 210mm to as much as 250mm, which is handy over steep speed breakers and broken approach roads.

Parking something this long in a tight lot is where the 360-degree camera and auto park assist earn their keep.

Cabin, features and safety

Inside, Volvo goes for calm over flash: two-tone Nappa leather, brushed aluminium trim and a three-spoke steering wheel.

Most controls live on the 14.5-inch vertical touchscreen, including climate and mirror adjustment, with a 9-inch display behind the wheel. If you love a clean dash, great. If you like a physical knob for the AC, spend time with this screen before you book.

Comfort and tech

• 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system
• Four-zone climate control and a cabin air purifier
• Front seats with heating, ventilation and massage
• Panoramic glass roof
• Wireless phone charging pad and a digital key

Safety

• Nine airbags
• Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems)
• 360-degree camera, auto park assist and parking sensors
• 5-star Euro NCAP rating for the global car

The six-seat layout, explained

Here's the part a spec sheet glosses over. India gets only the six-seat layout: two captain's chairs in the middle row, each with its own armrest, that slide and recline. There's no seven-seat option.

Three things to know:

• Third-row access. The middle chairs don't fold, so you climb through the gap between them. That's easy for kids. Test it with adults.
• Middle-row extras. Those chairs miss out on the heating, ventilation and massage the front seats get, and there are no rear window sunshades. With a glass roof overhead, check this in person.
• Luggage. You get 324 litres with all three rows up and 690 litres with the third row folded. The 46-litre frunk takes smaller items.

Launch offer and delivery timeline

Book before 31 December 2026 and Volvo adds:

• An 11kW home charger
• A three-year service package
• An assured buyback of 65 per cent over three years

Bookings are open at authorised Volvo dealerships. Launch coverage says test drives begin in November and deliveries start in January 2027. Confirm both with your dealer.

How the EX90 compares with its rivals

Against the EV9, the gap is small, so the call will come down to which cabin, badge and dealership experience you prefer. Against the EQS 580 SUV, the EX90 saves you Rs 23 lakh.

The upcoming Range Rover Sport Electric is another rival to watch. Rival prices are as reported at launch, and variants and cities will vary.

Pros and cons

Four things to check before you book

1. Buyback fine print. Ask what the 65 per cent figure assumes: kilometres driven, condition, and when the three years start.
2. Home power supply. Ask the installer whether your connection can deliver the full 11kW. A single-phase supply may cap the speed.
3. The test drive. Book the November slot and drive it on roads you use every day.
4. Every row. Sit in the second and third rows with your actual family.

Final takeaway

Volvo priced the EX90 sharply: Rs 1.26 crore for a fully loaded six-seater that undercuts its two main rivals. If six seats suit your family and you can charge at home, it's easy to see why this one will land on shortlists.

Take the November test drive, ask hard questions about the buyback, and sit in every row before you sign.
