The fully electric Volvo EX90 has been crowned World Luxury Car at the prestigious World Car Awards. With its sophisticated Scandinavian design, cutting-edge safety features, and refined all-electric performance, the seven-seat luxury SUV showcases how modern luxury, sustainability, and innovation can go hand in hand.
A Prestigious Win for a New Era of Mobility
The award was announced on the eve of the New York International Auto Show, where a jury of 96 automotive journalists from 30 countries participated in extensive test drives of the EX90. They were particularly impressed by the SUV’s:
- Twin electric motors delivering 510 hp
- Exceptionally quiet cabin
- Ergonomic interior, ideal for long-distance comfort

“We’re proud to see the EX90 receive the recognition it truly deserves, this award proves that the EX90 resonates with the world’s most discerning customers — even in a highly competitive market.” — Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars.
Scandinavian Design Meets Intelligent Engineering
What sets the EX90 apart is its minimalist yet purposeful design — a true reflection of Scandinavian design principles where form follows function. Smooth lines, aerodynamic detailing, and integrated lighting elements give the SUV a sleek, commanding presence on the road.
The integrated lidar system, combined with cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors, enhances 360-degree environmental awareness — taking automotive safety to new heights.
Luxury Redefined: Sustainable Comfort Inside
Step inside, and you’re welcomed by one of the quietest cabins in its class. The interior is crafted using Nordico — a premium, leather-free material made from recycled textiles and bio-based resources from Scandinavian forests.
Other highlights include:
- Ambient LED lighting
- Wood-trimmed dashboard with indirect illumination
- Seven spacious seats
- Up to 697 liters of cargo space with the third row folded
It’s a space that feels like a sanctuary, offering comfort, functionality, and elegant design in perfect harmony.
