Volvo unveiled a more plush version of the 2024 EX90 electric SUV<\/a> at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show.<\/p>\n

Sporting two-tone paint and 22-inch wheels, the EX90 Excellence is aimed at wealthy Chinese buyers with personal chauffeurs. It has four seats instead of the standard EX90’s seven, with a pair of individual seats in the second row with heating and massage functions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Similar to the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV also unveiled in Shanghai, the two rear seats are split by a center console with a refrigerator. Other notable features include an Orrefors crystal controller, fragrance dispenser, and a Bowers & Wilkins audio system with Dolby Atmos, specially tuned for the four-seat EX90 Excellence cabin.<\/p>\n

As more sustainable alternatives to leather, Volvo offers wool upholstery and Nordico, a textile made from material like recycled PET plastic bottles and “bio-attributed material” from Swedish and Finnish forests.<\/p>\n

The EX90 Excellence will be offered in China first, but Volvo didn’t rule out bringing it to the U.S. Standard versions of the EX90 will be U.S.-built, in South Carolina, with deliveries scheduled to begin next year.<\/p>\n

Unveiled last fall, the EX90 shares Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA) underpinnings with the Polestar 3<\/a> and the Chinese-market Zeekr X<\/a>. It will launch with a dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain rated at 496 hp, and a 111-kwh battery pack that should deliver approximately 300 miles of range on the EPA testing cycle. It will also be the first Volvo with bidirectional charging<\/a>, while 250-kw DC fast charging will allow for a 10% to 80% charge in 30 minutes, according to Volvo.<\/p>\n

The Excellence treatment effectively transforms the EX90 into an all-electric limo. While it isn’t the first such vehicle, previous efforts, like the Nissan Leaf stretch limo<\/a>\u00a0first spotted in 2012, have tended to be one-off conversions. The Volvo may not be stretched, but its factory official status make it a standout.<\/p>\n

With high-end electric cars proliferating, it may not be long before we see them being used in a more official capacity. We’ve wondered when the Presidential limo might go electric<\/a>, especially now that President Biden is targeting all government vehicles to go electric by 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
