Volvo ES90 is one smooth Scandinavian operator
Not chasing outright power and performance numbers, the Volvo ES90 delivers one of the most effortless executive drives on the road today.
The Volvo ES90 is a smooth operator in the world of Scandinavian executive sedans. When given the opportunity to test this vehicle, the Citizen Motoring team was eager to give it a go. The car boasts a powerful 245kW engine and 480Nm of torque, enabling it to reach 0-100km/h in just 6.6 seconds. However, it's the progressive delivery of power and torque that truly sets the ES90 apart. Even when driven normally, the car maintains a steady surge of momentum, making it an ideal fit for executive use.
The standout feature of the Volvo ES90 is its impressive battery range of 755km, as claimed by Volvo. While the author's personal testing revealed a range of around 550km, this still outperforms many other executive sedans in its class. The author notes that the cost of charging the battery at home is significantly lower than that of filling up with petrol, making electric cars a sensible choice for most owners.
Moreover, the Volvo ES90 offers a luxurious and comfortable driving experience, combining refinement, comfort, technology, and safety in a perfect package. Despite its niche status and higher price point, the ES90 is a prime example of how battery electric vehicles can cater to the affluent market.
