Volvo EV90.
Last Updated:
There are rumors that just won’t die, and a future Volvo EV wagon is one of them.
The illustration above shows what a new large EV Volvo wagon could look like. While the S60 sedan has been discontinued, Volvo will soon offer a brand new ES90 electric sedan. We’ve already seen a teaser of the sedan a few weeks ago, and it is expected next March. It will be based on the same platform as the new EX90 SUV and EM90 Minivan.
A wagon based on the new electric sedan would make a lot of sense for Volvo. And it wouldn’t be the only one on the market, at least outside of North America. It would compete with a few electric wagons available soon.
Like the stunning new Audi A6 e-Tron Avant EV wagon. While North America will be getting the hatchback sedan version of the new A6 e-tron, the super cool wagon isn’t coming here. Which of course is a shame…
Since we don’t get Chinese cars here either, the very nice-looking Nio ET5 EV wagon won’t be coming to the US…
Buick just showed a new great-looking Electric Wagon for the Chinese market. However, this is just a concept, at least so far.
Over 2 years ago, Lexus and Toyota showed a bunch of EV concepts. many of them haven’t become reality yet. Like this all-new kind compact series that included a sedan, coupe, convertible, and 2 wagons! these all looked like they were going to be replacing the aging Lexus IS, but nothing happened.
A few months ago Volvo mentioned a new model that will blur the line between an SUV and a wagon, which could be a higher wagon-based month upcoming EV sedan. A car that will be quite large. Having a 5-seater wagon sandwiched between the upcoming EX60 and the new 7-seater EX90 could probably work for Volvo.
It would also probably not be that much more expensive than their current wagons. The V60 Cross Coutry starts at over starts at over $50,000, While the larger V90 Cross Coutry is about $10,000 more.
The PHEV version of the V60 is priced at a crazy $71,000.
the 7-seater EX90 starts at $80,000 before incentives. That means a large EV wagon was priced at $10,000 below the EX90 it would cost about the same as the current V90.
But again, will we ever see it over here?
I think you could almost include the Lyriq on the list of EV wagons when you look at its proportions – it’s 2 inches shorter than a Subaru Outback wagon.
EX90 and EM90 are not on the same platform:
EX90: SPA2 (evolution of Volvo’s own ICE/hybrid-platform SPA, also underpins Polestar 3)
EM90: SEA (universal Geely platform that underpins cars like Zeekr 001 and 009, Lotus Eletre and Emeya, Polestar 4, Smart #1, Volvo EX30)
