Still dazzled by the new Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, one sees a short time later the Volvo EX90 Excellence that the firm presented this week in Shanghai and it may seem like a small thing, but it is undoubtedly one of the best electric SUVs if you are looking for luxury in abundance… and you travel with a driver Its sales start in China, the most important market for the brand.
This limited edition of the Volvo EX90 (with both electric motors and all-wheel drive), “elevates the premium experience to the next level,” according to the brand, and of course includes elements that make it special. Few on the outside, such as the two-color bodywork or the 22-inch forged wheels, with a special design and aerodynamically optimized.
Inside there are more news. And the clearest, that behind there are only two individual seats with special cushions. It is not the only comfort. Between the seats there is a refrigerator and the console includes an integrated touch panel. From there you control the seat heating (there are three levels available) and a massage function (there are five different levels and they are very good, as we saw in the Volvo XC60 test).
Another unusual detail is the Orrefors glass piece on the center console. In the image of the brand’s change selectors, it is a switch that controls an aromatic dispenser that admits up to three different fragrances. This way you can create a special atmosphere together with the ambient lighting, of course configurable.
It is possible to choose between two upholstery for the EX90:
- Nordic upholstery: This is an advanced material, with fabrics made from recycled materials such as PET plastic bottles and bioattributed materials from forests in Sweden and Finland.
- Custom wool blend upholstery: This is a fabric certified according to strict sustainability standards (social issues, animal welfare…).
In terms of technology, it claims to be the safest model of the brand. Beyond the usual assistance, it has a driver understanding system and is equipped with LiDAR technology as standard.
Technology is also key, both hardware and software, developed by Volvo engineers to run the car’s core functions, from safety and infotainment to battery management. There is no shortage of wireless mode upgrades. Access is done through a 14.5-inch central screen, where you can install various applications thanks to its 5G Internet connection.
And, of course, sound, with a Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity audio system, including Dolby Atmos functionality with an unrivaled 3D surround sound experience thanks to its adaptation to the car’s four-seat configuration with built-in speakers. the headrests.
