The EX90 is Volvo's new flagship, an electric seven-passenger, three-row, all-wheel-drive SUV.
It has an EPA-rated range of up to 308 miles, thanks to a 111-kilowatt-hour lithium battery.
Home charging on 240-volt replenishes about 25 miles of range per hour.
This $80,000 SUV is supposed to be equipped with cutting-edge safety technology, including a lidar sensor to support its advanced driving assistance systems.
We are not seeing any advantage over systems from other manufacturers yet.
A minimalist interior looks uncluttered but many functions and are hidden behind layers of screen actions, even opening the rear gate from inside.
The controls are very confusing and distracting, including steering wheel and mirror adjustments that are done through the screen and only two window controllers that the driver has to choose between front and rear.
Even locking and unlocking the car is unclear as is starting it.
The standard air suspension keeps the body settled but some bumps punch through noticeably.
Handling is responsive and the power is smooth and ample.
