Volvo ES90: The 680hp Electric Car

The Swedish sedan arrives to challenge the limits: 680 hp electric motor, 88.7 kgfm of torque and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds.

If you think electric cars are for eco-bodies, get ready to rethink your thinking. Volvo has just launched the ES90 , an electric sedan that commands respect in the garage and shows that technology and a classic approach can, indeed, go hand in hand. Forget that "cars only make noise when they break down" talk: here, silence is synonymous with power (and admiration from your neighbors).

Design that commands respect

The ES90 isn't just another pretty face with a battery. It boasts classic Scandinavian elegance—clean lines, an imposing presence, and a finish that'll make even your mother-in-law stare. The car is 5.07 meters long (yes, you can comfortably lie down in the back seat if you need to) and has a robust front end, the kind that makes a sedan proud of its DNA.

The rear features tapered horizontal taillights, connected by an illuminated strip. You know that look where it seems like the car is always waiting to accelerate, not just standing still? Yeah. And, of course, all with that Volvo light signature, for those who like to stand out effortlessly.

Power That Doesn't Mess Around

The ES90 comes with two engines delivering 517 hp and a robust 83.6 kgfm of torque. Want a little more electric testosterone? There's a performance version with 680 hp and an absurd 88.7 kgfm of torque. Zero to 100? In an aggressive 4 seconds. In other words: the ES90 plays in the same league as the gasoline-powered brutes without polluting the environment—it looks great at barbecues and on the asphalt.

Real autonomy, not just a faux pas

There's no bad weather here. With a 111 kWh battery, the ES90 delivers up to 600 km of range (WLTP cycle). In other words, you can leave São Paulo, take that trip to the coast, and still enjoy a few laps around the city without suffering or plug-in anxiety.

And the charging is for the big boys: support for 350 kW ultra-fast charging. In less than half an hour, you'll regain a ton of range. In other words, you can stop, grab a coffee, text the group complaining about your mother-in-law, and you're ready to go again.

Luxury that doesn't pose

The ES90 is high-tech without losing its essence. It features a 15.4" vertical multimedia screen, a configurable digital dashboard, four-zone climate control (no temperature battles with the co-pilot), premium finishes, and seats that hug you better than most girlfriends. And it even has a virtual assistant that learns your commands—more efficient than a tired intern.

Family safety 

Volvo has always been a benchmark in this regard. The ES90 comes fully equipped: adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning... You can drive with peace of mind, whether you're taking the gang to the soccer game or transporting your wife's pet.

When will it arrive and how much will it cost?

The ES90 is just starting to roll out in China, but will arrive in Brazil soon. Price? It hasn't been revealed, but prepare your wallet because a modern, show-stopping car isn't for those who count pennies at the bakery. The message is: add it to your wishlist, because the ES90 isn't just a car, it's a lifestyle.

If you want a sedan that combines powerful handling, cutting-edge technology, and respectable design, you can dream of the Volvo ES90. Because being a true sedan means evolving without losing class.
