Overview
- Volvo introduced the ES90 in Thailand in Ultra Single Motor Extended Range form, priced at 2.99 million baht, with deliveries sourced from Chengdu, China.
- Volvo Car Malaysia says the ES90 will be locally assembled in Shah Alam in 2026 alongside the EX30 and EX90, a move expected to preserve tax advantages versus fully imported rivals.
- Thai-spec cars feature a single rear motor rated at 333 PS and 480 Nm, a 92 kWh battery (88 kWh usable), a claimed 755 km NEDC range (about 650 km WLTP), and DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in roughly 22 minutes.
- Hardware highlights include the SPA2 platform with an 800V architecture, dual Nvidia Drive Orin core computers, OTA-enabled “Superset” software stack, Pixel Headlights, air suspension, a lidar unit, and an electrochromic roof.
- First-drive coverage cites strong rear-seat space, upscale finishes, and high-end audio with an Abbey Road mode, alongside trade-offs such as a letterbox rear window that limits visibility and a notably high 178 mm ride height.
