Here are some shots of the Volvo ES90, which will be launching this month, according to Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM). Shot by our social media man Jordan Xavier in Bangsar, it shows the ES90 (unmistakable with that unique shape and stance) with a full camouflage of black-white stripes. On the EV’s sides are the words ‘PROJ SELAMAT’. The BM word for safe is repeated on the number plates. Volvo is renowned for its safety innovations, but it has been awhile since that value was used as the main headline when marketing a new model. We’ll have to wait for the launch to know what this ‘safety project’ is all about, but it won’t be too long as the ES90’s debut is just around the corner. It was already open for registration of interest, and two weeks ago, we got to know that the ES90 will be launching in Malaysia this month. “If you’re torn between work and play, we say: Why not both? This month, get ready to welcome a car that’s truly made for life in balance. Our first fully electric sedan. Coming soon,” Volvo Car Malaysia’s teaser for the ES90 read. No details on the available variants and pricing yet, but VCM did reveal in its ROI press release that a 2% early bird incentive will be provided for the first 100 units booked between now and March 31. The ES90 will arrive as a CKD locally-assembled model from the start, unlike the EX90 that was launched as a CBU import. Both the ES90 and EX90 SUV are built on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA2) platform, with the sedan having an 800V architecture from the start – the EX90 only got updated from a 400V system in September 2025. With the 800V system, the ES90 can DC fast charge at up to 350 kW, which gets battery SoC from 10-80% in around 22 minutes – that’s 300 km range with just 10 minutes of being plugged in. The Single Motor variant has 333 PS (245 kW) and 480 Nm of torque, powered by a 92 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery that delivers up to 651 km of WLTP range. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds. There are also Twin Motor (449 PS/670 Nm, 0-100 in 5.5s) and Twin Motor Performance (680 PS/870 Nm, 0-100 in 4.0s) variants, both with 700 km range from a 106 kWh battery. The ES90 is the first Volvo to feature the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin computing system that is part of the Superset tech stack, which handles AI functions, safety features, car sensors and battery management. The ES90 was launched in Thailand in October 2025 – there, the sole CBU China Ultra Single Motor variant goes for 2.99 million baht (RM388,710). Here, the electric sedan will be CKD, which means that it might have a tax/price advantage over the likes of the CBU BMW i5 and Mercedes-Benz EQE. Full details on the ES90 here.
