Volvo Car Malaysia is announcing the arrival of two long sought-after models for fans of its flagship seven-seater SUVs (sports utility vehicles).
The Volvo EX90 has been confirmed for Malaysian shores, alongside the facelifted, new Volvo XC90 announced last year. Both models will be made available for local purchase with
a date to be announced via the brand’s website.
The fully electric Volvo EX90 was first announced in 2022 and is designed to be the safest
Volvo ever made with active safety technologies both inside and outside the car. As the most technologically advanced Volvo car to date, the Volvo EX90 is designed not just to mitigate accidents, but to avoid them altogether.
It is the marque’s flagship SUV of many firsts, including being the first to incorporate lidar,
the first to be built with Volvo Cars Superset core computing tech stack, and the first Volvo
car built with hardware in anticipation of fully autonomous driving.
Global customer deliveries of the Volvo EX90 commenced at the end of 2024 with Malaysia
to be one of the first Asia Pacific markets to usher in the new model after Thailand.
On the other hand, the new Volvo XC90 has been redefined for a new electric age. With the
honour of being Malaysia’s first plug-in hybrid vehicle to be locally assembled in 2016, the
Volvo XC90 is a modern icon renowned for being an electric car with a backup plan no
matter what life throws at you.
As with both flagships, the Volvo EX90 and the new Volvo XC90 will offer unprecedented
range and practicality for families who prioritise safety no matter what their electrification
ambitions, with the EX90 topping Volvo’ fully electric lineup that includes the Volvo EX30,
Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, and the Volvo EC40 (previously known as the Volvo
C40 Recharge Pure Electric).
Chris Wailes, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia commented, “Regardless of whether
you want the best-ever safety technology in a fully electric vehicle, or whether you want to
upgrade to the latest version of our iconic SUV awarded multiple times over, there is a ‘90’
flagship model to best suit your life and your lifestyle.”
