The electric revolution shows no sign of slowing, and Volvo is making its next decisive move with the all-new ES90 – a fully electric saloon that blends Scandinavian elegance with cutting-edge technology. As businesses across the UK shift towards sustainable fleet solutions, the ES90 presents a compelling proposition: executive comfort, impressive range, and the unmistakable refinement that has long defined the Volvo name.
But does it have what it takes to challenge the likes of the BMW i5 and Mercedes EQE?
The ES90 is Volvo’s first fully electric saloon, built on the brand’s advanced SPA2 platform, which is the same foundation found in the Polestar 3 and EX90. Designed with both fleet operators and individual buyers in mind, it promises a blend of long-distance capability, rapid charging, and powerful performance.
With up to 434 miles (WLTP) of range, the ES90 is among the longest-range EVs in its class, making it a strong choice for corporate drivers and business fleets alike. Its 800V charging system allows for ultra-rapid charging, restoring 186 miles of range in just 10 minutes. This is a feature that could prove invaluable for professionals on tight schedules.
For those seeking versatility, the ES90 comes with two battery options: an 88kWh unit for single-motor variants and a 102kWh pack for twin-motor models. The latter delivers an exhilarating 671bhp, providing executive-level performance with a whisper-quiet ride.
True to Volvo’s Scandinavian design ethos, the ES90 is a masterclass in understated luxury. Clean lines, premium materials, and a focus on sustainability define the interior, where vegan-friendly upholstery and responsibly sourced materials create an atmosphere of sophisticated minimalism.
Technology is equally at the forefront, with Volvo’s latest infotainment system offering seamless connectivity, intuitive controls, and a digital interface designed to enhance rather than overwhelm.
For fleet managers, the ES90 is more than just an electric alternative: it’s a forward-thinking business solution. Long range and rapid charging ensure maximum operational efficiency, while government incentives such as Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax relief and reduced Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) add to its financial appeal.
With Clean Air Zones expanding across the UK, switching to electric is becoming not just a choice, but a necessity. The ES90 ensures businesses remain compliant while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through lower maintenance and running costs.
No Volvo would be complete without an industry-leading approach to safety, and the ES90 is no exception. The latest LiDAR and camera-based collision avoidance systems offer an extra layer of security, while Pilot Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control help to ease long-distance motorway driving. Lane-Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot Monitoring further enhance driver awareness, reinforcing Volvo’s reputation for safety-first innovation.
Volvo has made no secret of its commitment to sustainability, and the ES90 is a reflection of this mission. Zero tailpipe emissions, low-impact manufacturing processes, and the use of recycled materials ensure the ES90 isn’t just a luxury EV – it’s a responsible one.
For businesses focusing on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, the ES90 presents an opportunity to invest in both innovation and corporate sustainability.
The Volvo ES90 marks a bold step forward in the world of executive EVs. With its exceptional range, rapid charging, premium interior, and advanced safety features, it makes a strong case for itself as one of the most compelling electric saloons on the market.
For fleet managers and professionals looking to future-proof their operations while maintaining a high standard of comfort and performance, the ES90 could well be the answer.
The question now is: are businesses ready to embrace Volvo’s vision for the future?
