The vehicle sports a fastback silhouette and a liftback tailgate, complemented by flush door handles, aluminum alloy wheels, sequential dynamic taillights, and an hands-free power tailgate. Inside, the cabin adopts Volvo’s latest family-oriented layout, equipped with a steering-column-mounted gear selector, a 9-inch digital instrument cluster, a vertically oriented 14.5-inch central touchscreen, and a head-up display (HUD). Wireless Apple CarPlay is also supported. Below the central screen are crystal-finish function buttons, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and storage compartments. In terms of powertrain and battery options, the ES90 offers three battery configurations: a 77 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack, a 92 kWh ternary lithium pack, and a 106 kWh ternary lithium pack—resulting in five total variants with CLTC ranges of 608 km, 720 km, 777 km, and 848 km.
