Equipped with many innovative safety features, the Volvo EX90 sets a new safety benchmark for Volvo Cars in the pure electric era, and also demonstrates Volvo Cars' determination to continue moving towards its "zero collision" vision.

The four major spaces of the “World Tree” intelligent security system

The "World Tree" intelligent safety system is the name of Volvo Cars' intelligent safety system based on its native pure electric platform. It further expands transportation safety from traditional active and passive safety to four different safety spaces in the car, body, outside the car and people, integrating the trend of electrification and intelligence, forming a comprehensive safety system in the new era. system.

In-Car Safe Space creates a unique Volvo “Smart Safety Cockpit”

At present, most accidents are caused by improper driver operation. Fatigue driving, distracted driving, operating mobile phones and other behaviors are the main factors inducing accidents. In order to help drivers drive safely, Volvo Cars puts the concept of "safe space in the car" at the top of intelligent safety to ensure that drivers always focus on the road while driving.

Out-Car Safe Space - "active safety hard power" working towards the zero-collision vision

Most accidents on highways occur in rainy and foggy weather, and pure visual perception solutions represented by cameras cannot work well in extreme weather. Volvo Cars’ innovation in multi-sensor fusion perception technology can effectively help reduce the number of road traffic accidents and casualties. In the near future, Volvo Cars will take the lead in launching navigation assistance functions based on high-precision maps in China based on the needs of users in the Chinese market.

Car-Self Safe Space - Car-Self Safe Space sets a new standard in the industry and truly achieves "safety and zero anxiety"

From the invention of the three-point seat belt to the first cage body, Volvo Cars has achieved the ultimate in passive safety of cars in the era of fuel vehicles. In the new era of electrification, battery safety has become one of the most concerning issues for contemporary users. Volvo Cars' unique new safety standard design for the battery system sets a new industry standard.

Human-Centric Safe Space - For us, safety does not only refer to car safety, but a broader picture.

Protection is not only about safety, but also about a touchable green future! Volvo Cars adheres to the "people-oriented" concept and is committed to becoming a global zero-climate load benchmark company in 2040, becoming a circular economy company and a leader in responsible business.

Brand new design with high recognition

In terms of design, the EX90 fully utilizes the essence of Scandinavian design, which is simple and stylish at the same time. At the same time, the new car has the sense of technology that a new energy vehicle should have, with a minimalist closed front face, and Volvo's iconic Thor's Hammer headlights also appear on the EX90, making it unforgettable at first sight and highly recognizable overall.

The side is equally unique. The blackened window lines and the depressed black roof line further reduce the presence of the windows, while also lowering the visual center of gravity of the car body, making the look and feel more harmonious. In addition, the EX90 also adopts designs such as hidden door handles and low-wind resistance wheels. Its wind resistance coefficient of 0.29Cd is at the leading level among models in its class.

Compared with the current Volvo family-style Viking Ax in-line taillights, the EX90 has undergone comprehensive changes, using a more recognizable segmented treatment, and light bars are also hidden on both sides of the rear windshield. The C-shaped light group below is combined into a through-type taillight group through the central light strip, which is full of futuristic atmosphere when lit.

Interior environmental protection smart technology

The interior design is stylish. EX90 follows Volvo's Scandinavian minimalist design concept. The central control adopts a narrow-stripe LCD instrument + 14.5-inch central control large screen design, which can display richer content and vehicle settings control interface. . The new car will also be the first Volvo brand model to have headrest audio. The audio brand is still the top-notch "Bauer & Wilkinson", which can bring a better audio-visual feast to the members in the car.

In addition, Volvo EX90 will provide a variety of different color and material combinations for users to choose from, and the interior also uses a large number of natural, traceable sources of environmentally friendly materials, which effectively eliminates the possibility of odor in the car and brings comfort to drivers and passengers. A more comfortable and healthy way to travel.

Set a benchmark for smart pure electric safety

Volvo EX90 is built on a native pure electric platform and adopts the industry's advanced central electronic and electrical architecture. Equipped with many innovative safety features, the Volvo EX90 sets a new safety benchmark for Volvo Cars in the pure electric era, and also demonstrates Volvo Cars' determination to continue moving towards its "zero collision" vision.

All-wheel drive combined with a single-pedal design injects surging power into the Volvo EX90, making every drive relaxed and enjoyable. CLTC has a comprehensive operating range of 650 kilometers, a charging time (fast charging 10-80%) of 30 minutes, a maximum horsepower of 517 horses, and acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers per hour (0-100 km/h) in 4.9 seconds.

Volvo EX90 features seven seats and a spacious trunk design. In terms of interior, Volvo EX90 also uses a large number of natural and traceable sources of environmentally friendly materials, which not only enhances the comfort and luxury, but also considers the health issues in the cabin. 

Pilot Assist: Volvo EX90 assists the driver in driving, creating a smoother and more comfortable journey. The Volvo EX90 monitors road conditions and lane lines and adjusts the speed and distance to the current driving conditions. It can also control the speed during sharp turns and provide steering support when changing lanes. If no reaction from the driver is detected, the Volvo EX90 can brake the vehicle within the lane.

The Volvo EX90 is equipped with lidar technology developed by Luminar, which has the industry’s longest detection range of 600 meters. Even in severe weather such as dense fog and heavy rain that drivers are most afraid of, they can clearly see pedestrians 250 meters away, and can even identify black tires lying sideways on the ground 120 meters away. 

LiDAR has obvious advantages over cameras. The more and denser the LiDAR wiring harnesses, the clearer and more complete the recognition. Luminar lidar has a high resolution of 0.08°x0.06°, which is more than 4 times better than the imaging level of mainstream 905nm wavelength lidar.

Luminar lidar rarely uses the industry-innovative 1550nm wavelength. In the 1550nm band, most of the light is absorbed by the transparent part of the eyeball before reaching the retina, reducing damage to the retina.

Volvo Cars also takes data security very seriously, and the EX90’s DUS system does not store or send data. 

DUS not only senses eyes, but also hands. Capacitive steering wheels can sensitively sense the contact area between the driver's hands and the steering wheel. No one can deceive plastic water bottles or hand-off tools.

In order not to affect driving safety, when developing the car-machine system, Volvo Cars did a lot of research on the commonly used functions of daily users, and designed a homepage layout based on the research, covering more than 90% of usage scenarios. 

In the design of the car-machine interface, Volvo EX90 pursues shorter operation paths and simpler and easier-to-understand operation logic, shortening the time users spend operating the screen and minimizing safety risks while driving. 

The Volvo EX90 is equipped with two screens in the cockpit. The 9-inch instrument screen behind the steering wheel (1920*480p) is responsible for presenting driving information; the 14.5-inch (1600*2560p) large central control screen displays richer content and vehicle settings. control interface. While driving, the two screens work together to provide users with the right information at the right time and in the right place.

The all-new pure electric flagship SUV Volvo EX90 Excellence four-seat version is the most luxurious model in the history of Volvo Cars. Setting a new standard for luxury cabin experience, the new car is equipped with four seats and a through-type second row of independent seats, showing luxury, comfort and large space between entry and exit.

Taking Scandinavian design as the base color, it adopts tailor-made wool blend light gray decoration and Orrefors® crystal fragrance control. Orrefors® is specially made for Volvo. It is pure Swedish crystal and handcrafted to create an excellent soothing ride. experience.

Volvo EX90 Excellence will also be equipped with an integrated refrigerator with three-level temperature control and two cup holders, making life more stylish without losing temperature even on the road.

The arrival of the EX90 Excellence demonstrates Volvo Cars' strong ability to meet specific market needs.

Let’s make a bold prediction, if the price is between 500,000 and 600,000. It will compete directly with Weilai ES8 and other models, and will also have quite good market competitiveness.
