Volvo Car Malaysia said its all-electric 7-seater EX990 will sprint from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. The flagship SUV uses an 800V twin-motor all-wheel-drive system that delivers 680 hp and 870 Nm of torque.

Market Impact

The company said the acceleration does not compromise cabin quietness or safety. It is equipped with Volvo’s Safe Space Technology, a central computer that provides active safety features to help prevent accidents. The EX90 also supports over-the-air software updates that let it improve after delivery.

Volvo Car Malaysia is now taking expressions of interest. The first 100 customers who place a reservation will receive special rewards. The company has not yet disclosed pricing or a detailed specification sheet for the Malaysian market.

The arrival of the EX90 marks Volvo’s push into large electric SUVs in Malaysia. The 7-seater format and high performance may change expectations for family vehicles as the country shifts toward electrification.
