First impressions of my Cousin's Volvo EX90

Goldenman · Nov 18, 2024

My cousin recently received his EX90, and it looks absolutely fantastic, with the exception of the lidar system. All in all, it feels like a lot better Volvo. The third row's USB-C connectors are fantastic, and the seat controls are easier to use. It looks fantastic in black and white, and the full EQ is restored.

But there are two problems: until you slide the rear folding seats forward, they obstruct the second row, and the trunk button is hidden five menus deep. The color is fantastic, but I haven't driven it yet. What do y'all think?

The controls in the menu, that's not ok at all. Why would they do that? lol

I know right! Burying such a popular feature in the menu is an odd one.

It sounds like your cousin’s EX90 has some great features, but those minor issues with the rear seats and trunk button are definitely worth noting. I’d love to hear more about how it drives once you get behind the wheel..

The features are impressive overall, but those small annoyances with the seats and trunk button might need some tweaking.

This car has got some serious power! It feels really nimble and fun to drive. I can easily get going quickly. But I've noticed the ride is a bit stiff, especially in the back. I'm not sure if it's the tire pressure, but it feels a bit bouncy. The trunk is massive! I can fit tons of stuff in there, even with all five seats up. But the frunk is tiny. It's barely big enough for the charging cables and a small charger. Don't expect to use it for much else.
