Our scoring places the 2025 Volvo EX90 at 7.7/10 overall, which translates to a Recommended rating for this ev. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 9.4/10, while Value at 6.5/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We score reliability at 7.0/10 — better than most direct rivals, if short of the segment's best. The 9.4/10 safety score puts it near the top of the class on this dimension; the official trim-level results at nhtsa.gov are worth a final check.
Performance at 6.9/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin — don't overlook it. The cabin tech earns 9.1/10 — infotainment, smartphone integration, and driver-assistance are all close to the best this class offers.
Priced from $82,394–$106,385, 95 MPG, seating 7, the Volvo EX90 sits in the luxury tier of the ev market. The value score of 6.5/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Our take: The 2025 Volvo EX90 is a solid, well-rounded ev that covers the essentials without obvious deal-breakers. The main caveat is performance and value — worth checking if those dimensions are priorities for you. For most buyers in this segment, it's a safe, dependable choice.
