The design of EX90 is based on the Volvo Concept Recharge that was showcased last year. However, it borrows most of its styling cues from the XC40 Recharge to maintain a consistent EV look. These include the blanked-off front grille and the new digital Thor Hammer headlights.

Volvo EX90 offers sharply styled 22-inch five-spoke alloy wheels and flush door handles for enhanced aerodynamics. Although there are some creases on the side, the large glasshouse is what makes the EX90 similar to the outgoing XC90. Talking about the rear, the upcoming model gets a unique split tail lamp design with the C-shaped LED unit below.

Further, Volvo EX90 is slightly longer and wider than the XC90 model in terms of dimensions standing at 5,037 mm in length. To optimize the range, the design of the Volvo EX90 has been sharpened in accordance with the wind flow resulting in a low drag coefficient of 0.29Cd.
