Volvo has officially brought its flagship electric SUV, the EX90, to Indonesia, and it’s already turning heads in the country’s fast-growing premium EV segment. Launched in Jakarta in May 2026, the EX90 isn’t just another electric SUV on the block. It represents Volvo’s most advanced production vehicle to date, blending Scandinavian design, cutting-edge safety tech, and serious performance numbers.
A New Chapter for Volvo in Indonesia
The EX90 now sits alongside the XC90 and XC60 in Volvo Car Indonesia’s lineup, further building out the brand’s all-electric portfolio in the local market. Koji Horii, CEO of Volvo Car Indonesia, described the launch as part of the company’s long-term push toward more sustainable, premium mobility, a fitting statement given how competitive Indonesia’s EV space has become, with rivals like the Mercedes EQS SUV, BMW iX, and Tesla Model X all vying for the same buyers.
Priced at around Rp 2.55 billion (OTR Jakarta), the EX90 positions itself as a genuine luxury contender rather than a budget-friendly EV, and it’s built entirely on a dedicated electric vehicle platform with no shared underpinnings with combustion models here.
What’s Under the Hood
The numbers are where the EX90 really makes its case. It runs on a 111 kWh battery pack, delivering a range of roughly 600 kilometers on a single charge, more than enough for daily city driving or longer road trips without constant charging stops. Pair that with 250 kW DC fast charging, and owners can top up from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes.
Buyers get two configuration choices:
- Twin Motor – 402 hp, 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds
- Twin Motor Performance – 510 hp, 0–100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds
Both variants use a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, giving the EX90 the kind of stability and responsiveness expected from a premium SUV, regardless of road conditions.
Tech and Comfort Worth Talking About
Beyond raw performance, the EX90 leans heavily into everyday usability. It supports over-the-air software updates, meaning the car’s systems can improve over time without a trip to the service center. It also comes equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, letting owners draw power straight from the battery to run external electronics, handy for camping trips, outdoor events, or emergency power needs.
Inside, the seven-seat cabin leans into luxury with features like massage seats, an electrochromic roof, and a premium Bavaria & Wilkinson audio setup, reinforcing the EX90’s flagship status. It’s worth noting that the model has also been recognized as World Luxury Car of the Year 2026, adding some external validation to Volvo’s claims about the car’s craftsmanship and engineering.
Should You Be Interested?
If you’re shopping in the premium electric SUV space in Indonesia, the EX90 is hard to ignore. It undercuts the Mercedes EQS SUV and BMW iX on price while still offering competitive range, charging speed, and power output. The trade-off is that Volvo currently sells the EX90 as a fully imported (CBU) vehicle rather than through local assembly, which keeps the price on the higher end compared to some competitors with CKD options.
For families wanting a spacious, safety-focused, and genuinely quick electric SUV that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for performance, the Volvo EX90 is shaping up to be one of the most compelling options currently available in Indonesia’s luxury EV market.
