Choosing between these two luxury electric SUVs comes down to more than headline specs—it’s about how they fit into everyday life. The EX90 pulls ahead with quicker charging, more passenger space, stronger available performance, and seating for up to seven, while the BMW iX is limited to five passengers, making the Volvo the more versatile choice.

A lot goes into defining a luxury vehicle like the Volvo EX90 or the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. With faster charging that helps you spend less time waiting, more standard technology that keeps key information in view, and genuine wood trim included from the start, the EX90 sets a higher standard for everyday luxury.^*

Beyond premium appointments, luxury SUVs should elevate every drive. The Volvo EX90 does exactly that with stronger available performance, more ways to personalize its appearance, and a standard head-up display that helps you stay focused on the road, giving it an edge over the Cadillac VISTIQ in both everyday convenience and capability.

Yes. While the Volvo EX90 comes standard with rear-wheel drive (RWD), an available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system adds a second electric motor to provide enhanced traction and control when road conditions change. The standard RWD setup delivers responsive handling and smooth power delivery, while AWD gives drivers added capability when they need it most.

Pure Power

As a fully electric vehicle, the EX90 releases zero emissions, providing a sustainable means of transportation while reducing your carbon footprint. Its three powertrain options and capable batteries ensure your vehicle remains in step with your fast-paced lifestyle.

Thanks to its lack of a typical combustion engine or even a hybrid variant, your travels will be completely green and clean.

Leading the Charge

Whether you’re taking on your daily commute, handling school drop-offs and team carpools to a weekend soccer tournament, or heading out for a family vacation, two considerations of EVs are their driving range and charging time. With its all-electric range of up to 305 miles, the Volvo EX90 can handle travels both near and far. Plus, it can charge from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes at a DC fast charger.

Standard Google built-in with integrated Google Maps helps take the guesswork out of every trip by providing real-time information tailored to your electric vehicle. You’ll see your estimated range, projected battery level when you arrive at your destination, and nearby charging stations along your route, making it easier to plan stops and stay prepared wherever the road takes you.

Yes. The Volvo EX90’s third row is designed to accommodate adult passengers with supportive seating, easy access, and enough space for longer drives. Along with its separate third-row climate control and flexible seating layout, the EX90 makes it easier to bring more passengers along without compromising comfort.

Contemporary Cabin

One word that aptly describes the cabin of the Volvo EX90 is clean. The dashboard and cockpit are uncluttered and are a welcome respite from all the distractions in your day-to-day life. Also clean in an eco-friendly sense are the standard upholstery choices: Wool Blend or Nordico. This latter material has a similar feel to high-quality leather, albeit crafted from responsibly sourced, recycled substances. Ventilated Nappa leather is an available option.

Volvo attends to every detail, ensuring the EX90 is a serene haven on wheels with premium features that include:

•  
  • Genuine wood detail and jewel-design elements
  • Relaxed ambient lighting
  • Panoramic roof
  • 4-zone climate system
  • Air purifier
  •  

  When you climb behind the wheel of this tranquil space, you might exhale with a soothing ahhh.

  Spacious Spa

  You and your copilot will enjoy 8-way power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support. Ventilation and 10-point massage functionality are also available, and both front and rear seats come with standard heating functionality. Meanwhile, the EX90’s three rows offer seating for up to seven adult-sized riders. So, even passengers in the rear rows will enjoy first-class comfort.

  Headroom (1st/2nd/3rd Row)	42.3/41.6/35.8 inches
  Legroom (1st/2nd/3rd Row)	40.9/36.5/31.9 inches

  When you have fewer passengers and more sports gear, luggage, or picnic supplies to transport, a one-touch button easily folds the rear rows flat. Doing so opens up a versatile storage space with a cargo capacity of up to 73.5 cubic feet.

The Volvo EX90 continues Volvo’s legacy of safety by consistently earning top ratings from leading organizations, including a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a 2026 TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the highest honors awarded by each organization. Beyond ratings, the EX90 features advanced safety technology designed to help protect drivers and passengers.

Innovative Infotainment

The 14.5-inch tablet-style touchscreen offers enhanced high-definition visibility, even in full sun. Use it to access your phone, music, and more, including apps, maps, and camera views. The steering wheel-mounted 9-inch driver information display is customizable, whether you prefer full traffic mode, navigational guidance, or a minimalist overview to maintain your Zen. Meanwhile, real-time over-the-air updates ensure your EX90 is always current.

Volvo provides an even greater array of infotainment features, ensuring its drivers stay informed, engaged, and entertained mile after mile:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay®
• Wireless phone charger
• 6 USB-C ports (2 in each row)
• Google Built-in

Because of its quiet cabin engineered to block external noise and the in-cabin communication system, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear conversations and a fully immersive surround-sound music experience with either the 14-speaker Bose® Premium Sound System or the available 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins High-Fidelity Audio System with integrated headrest speakers.

Safety First

Volvo continues to be on the cutting edge of technology in protecting its drivers and passengers. Designed to be the safest Volvo to date, the EX90 features next-generation core computing technology that utilizes cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to detect other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians up to 820 feet ahead.

A multitude of safety systems are in place to help mitigate collisions or avoid them altogether. These state-of-the-art features include:

•  
  • Blind Spot Information System/Cross Traffic Alert
  • Automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
  • Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
  • Door opening alert when motorists or cyclists approach from behind

  Once you reach your destination, Park Pilot Assist can help find and maneuver into a suitable parallel or perpendicular parking spot. Then, the Occupant Sensing system notifies you if a person or animal remains in the car when you lock the doors, ensuring nobody gets left behind.
