Vagabond- Absolutely superb review. I appreciate how you make references to the size and scale of seats and roof height, especially in the middle row. It helps to know your size at 6’2. We are a tall family and we’ve learned that most second row/back seats of cars and SUVs are usually undersized and skimpy. This looks like an under 200 inch vehicle that would accommodate taller folk and fit in a standard 2 car garage! Thank you!
Hey! Thank you so much for the support! Glad we can help!! We are trying to get our hands on the first ones that get on to the dealership floor so we can bring you more content!
I ordered the Ultra with Bowers and Wilkins here in France. It was due to be delivered in spring next year but it’s late and it’s gonna be in winter sadly… This summer I was invited to the Paris event to show some customers this car and it was very nice.
@@VagabondBuilds And we could touch anything we wanted (but very carefully) 😁 I’ve been driving electric since May 2014, Ifirst with a Leaf 24 for two years, then in 2016 with a Leaf 30 and since 2019 with a Model 3 LR. I also bought an EQV 300 in October this year. I’m a private driver in the Champagne area (since 2016) and drove 700000km in electric cars. The Model 3 has done 383000km and still going strong.
Great video Vagabond. One of the few detailed early release videos of EX90 available on UA-cam. 👍 Questions: 1. Is the display car in dawn silver or vapour gray? 2. Does it have a real leather seat option? 3. Does it have a digital rearview mirror like on the Polestar 4? 4. Does it have any dashcam functionality like Tesla's Sentry mode? 5. If the captain seats do become available, will it still remain as 7 seaters? Thanks again 🙌
1. I’m not exactly sure which exact one was it. 2. No real leather options in the ex90 3. The one in the video did not have a live feed rear camera, not sure if a trim will come with it. 4.I don’t believe it has such tech. 5. Would be 6 seats. Hopefully I was a bit of help. When they start rolling out we will try to get some trims filmed. Thanks for the support.
@@kevinkrolick8511 The units built at this factory will almost certainly be for the USA/CAD domestic market. Units for the European market are either built in existing factories in the European Union or imported from China. I don't think Volvo will import units from USA to EU bc never did that probably for cost and taxes
Great video. Eagerly awaiting the availability of this car. I previously owned an S70 a while ago and have been asking about an electric Volvo car since back then. Currently trying to choose between the EX90 and the Tesla Model X. Decisions decisions....
honestly Volvo over Tesla. Dont worry about the charging infrastructure. The car itself reigns superior than Teslas cheap engineering flaws. Volvo all day.
@@VagabondBuildsNo, he means an electronic sliding shade cover like on XC40. My guess is no as it doesn’t look like there’s enough room. Volvo designed it for maximum head room.
This one is very nice. Hope I can afford this someday. That's how Volvo cars should be built, and not the way the EX30 is built. Buttons for electric lifts must be in the doors and not in the center console, among other things.
what happens with all these technology is it breaks often. Don’t use complex tech. Simplicity do just fine. I’m sure the light would break often after few years and expensive to fix.
@@Wasabi9111 You completely missed the point. The safety thing has nothing to do with how they design the lighting, for example. As matter of fact, eliminating necessary buttons such as climate controls, hurt safety as it distracts the driver. I'm not against tech at all, I'm an early adopter. but the problem is you cannot "overload" with techs that do not work or unnecessary. Things that are counter intuitive, break often or hard to operate should be avoided and stick to the time-tested design that is simple and works all the time.
Also these seats look very cheap. Just like any 30k car seats look like. 😂 does not look like a 80k car to me. It might feel different, but clearly not look premium.
@@VagabondBuilds I was in a rollover many years ago. Luckily no one was hurt with solid roof. May have been different with glass. Even luckier was that the other side of the gravel road was a three hundred foot embankment. Enjoy the small things in life. Also don't like the fish bowl effect or the green house effect. Peace out everyone. Stephen Supposedly the glass roofs started so the mechanical robots could assemble the interior of vehicle with the roof off, making it easier. Then just glue the glass on at the end. Don't know how true that is.
Volvo's new flagship EV will be offered exclusively in a dual-motor AWD setup as either a six- or seven-seater.

Great video! Saw you guys at the EX30/90 event. Looking forward to your EX30 video.
Yes! Great! Appreciate the support! Yes, we have that video coming! Thanks for your support!

Looks futuristic
Yea. Agreed
I honestly wish they made this a hybrid
That would have been cool. But you never know if they might.
Wow this is my Volvo dealer. I recognize that lobby.
Haha nice! If you buy something again, tell them you saw the video posted ! Haha
those piano exterior trim sure gonna get fine scratches if not clear coat over them
Yea, I can see that happening. Maybe a good clear bra would be good over it.
Wish the smaller XC40 had this interior and infotainment system.
This is a pretty nice interior.
Which one u like better this or ev9
Very hard choice and I couldn’t answer that. Don’t want to be biased in anyway. But both are beautiful

Does anyone know where is the factory that ensembles the EX90? I have read somewhere that are manufactured in China but I haven't confirmation.
Made in South Carolina

See other comments.
Thanks for the response.

Good luck on that decision honestly! The Volvo is beautiful but I understand the decision haha haha
easy decision Tesla is inferior compared to Volvo
honestly Volvo over Tesla. Dont worry about the charging infrastructure. The car itself reigns superior than Teslas cheap engineering flaws. Volvo all day.
Wonder what wait time for these because im thinking about putting a deposit for one
Good luck on the choice.
What are the specs ?
Didn’t yet get them….
Cant wait for an electric s60
That would be pretty cool. You going to buy?
@@VagabondBuilds I graduate college in 2026 so hopefully
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I had no idea Volvo of Sac had a EX90 there. We are definitely excited to drive and possibly purchase one!
Nice! Let them know if you do go to buy that you saw our video!
As imagens ficaram muito escuras.
Sorry for that. We will try to get it better.
Did you forget the glass roof? Does it have a cover or not??
A cover? Or do you mean a visor ?
@@VagabondBuildsNo, he means an electronic sliding shade cover like on XC40. My guess is no as it doesn’t look like there’s enough room. Volvo designed it for maximum head room.

Couldn't agree more!
Does anyone know the practical range of this Volvo?
I don’t know if anyone really knows it. It’s not really out yet. People didn’t have time to drive them.
Love that you had a chance to see this rare vehicle ahead of time. Also, “Center Console” not council. 😊
Haha thanks! Honestly so many people are bringing that to my attention. Haha been trying to correct it lol
anyone know the range on a full charge and time for recharging?
Around 300 miles per charge
Charge time around 8 hours
I Silver Don and sunny dune will be my choising body colour,
Nice! Was the video helpful at all?
The interior infotainment looks out of date already. Come on Volvo!
Really…. I think it would come down to preference
what happens with all these technology is it breaks often. Don’t use complex tech. Simplicity do just fine. I’m sure the light would break often after few years and expensive to fix.
Well I think all the manufacturers are going to higher tech in their cars.
Tech is invitable. With all the safety features, it requires all the tech and data to all work together. There’s no such thing as an analogue new car.

They should make it taller.
Does it seem to small for you?
@VagabondBuilds Yes. I have an XC90 (it's 178 cm tall). A few centimeters higher would have been excellent. EX90 is 174 cm tall, right?
Awful how they took out most of the dashboard and turned it into a heads up display.
Would you say it comes down to preference?
Also these seats look very cheap. Just like any 30k car seats look like. 😂 does not look like a 80k car to me. It might feel different, but clearly not look premium.
Well I would say it comes down to preferences. I mean good thing we have many manufacturers of cars. Helps others buy what they want.
Stop with the glass roofs.
Why?

no thanks, looks cheap. keeping my xc90
Well then…. Haha I think it comes down to preference
Ugly expensive Volvo :(
Would you say that it comes down to preference?
When will Volvo start delivering the EX30 and EX90?
Word is by the summer of this year.
