Welcome back to our full, right-hand drive review of the Volvo EX90—the 7-seat electric luxury SUV aiming to redefine its segment!
After first driving it in Los Angeles, we put the top-trim Twin Performance model to the test on Irish roads. Built on the 800V SPA2 platform (shared with the Polestar 3), the EX90 boasts a massive 111 kWh battery, up to 250 kW DC charging, and performance from its dual-motor setup. We examine the stunning Tor's Hammer design, the tech-focused interior with a 14.6-inch screen and Bowers & Wilkins sound, and see how its air suspension handles local roads. We also honestly evaluate the practicality of the crucial third row against rivals like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai IONIQ 9.
Find out if this €120,000 electric flagship (or the new €99,000 RWD entry model) delivers the ultimate electric luxury experience!

[14:03] Final Off-Road Verdict & Outro
Top Features of the Electric Jeep Compass 4xe
Incredibly Potent Off-Road Muscle: Delivers a combined 375 horsepower across both axles by pairing a 157 kW motor up front with a 132 kW motor in the rear [05:56]. The rear axle utilises an aggressive 14:1 gear ratio reducer to push an astonishing, best-in-class 3,100 Nm of torque [06:34].
True Trail-Rated Clearance: Re-engineered specifically for off-roading, the 4xe features a substantially better approach angle, improved departure angle, and superior ground clearance over standard road-biased Compass models [00:50].
Intelligent Slip-Control Technology: Ditches standard power-limiting traction control for advanced slip control [02:52]. Rather than cutting power when a wheel slips, it dynamically monitors traction tolerances, keeping the electric power pinned exactly to the tyres that have grip [03:07].
Extreme 20-Degree Incline Capabilities: Passes Jeeps ultimate dry-traction test: the dual-motor system can comfortably push the heavy SUV up a steep 20% incline even with zero traction on the front wheels [01:22].
Deep 450mm Water Fording: Allows you to wade through deep mud and streams with confidence, utilizing specialized waterproofed battery casing and high-mounted intakes to achieve a 450 mm maximum water-fording depth [10:08].
Stretching Long-Range Batteries: Powered by a massive 96.1 kWh usable battery pack [06:04] that delivers a stellar 606 km WLTP driving range [06:06] and supports DC fast charging from 20% to 80% in just 27 minutes [06:18].
Substantial Underbody Armoring: Safeguards the electrical components during extreme rock crawls by mounting a heavy-duty, protective steel skid plate directly underneath the chassis [07:40].
