[PCauto]Following its initial launch in the Thai market, the Volvo ES90 is set to be released in Malaysia in the first quarter of 2026. This all-electric sedan built on the SPA2 platform will reflect a luxury brand’s fresh understanding of electric vehicles in terms of design and technology.
The exterior of the ES90 considers real-world driving scenarios
The exterior design of the ES90 showcases Volvo's deep consideration for electric vehicle design. It doesn't adopt an overly idealized shape but instead integrates smooth coupe-like lines into classic sedan proportions. This design conforms to general aesthetic preferences while also optimizing aerodynamic performance. The combination of the front headlights and the closed grille is a seamless blend of simplicity with the brand's signature style.
What is particularly noteworthy is that the ES90 features a ground clearance of 178mm. This detail reflects Volvo's consideration for practical usability on diverse road conditions. In Malaysia's varied road environments, the slightly higher chassis can significantly reduce the risk of scraping during daily driving.
The interior of the ES90 will feature eco-friendly materials
Inside the cabin, the ES90 extensively utilizes natural, renewable materials, including Nordico eco-friendly fabrics and certified wood trim, as well as a panoramic sunroof with variable tinting, which comes standard across all trims.
The core interactive interface is a 14.5-inch vertical center control screen equipped with the next-generation Volvo Car UX system. This center control screen is not just a simple collection of functions but builds a driver-centered intelligent interactive ecosystem with clear hierarchical logic and locally optimized Google services (including maps, assistants, and app stores).
In addition, the high-end models are equipped with a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, which, when combined with the silent electric drive chassis, creates a unique immersive music space.
The ES90's range will reach 755km
In terms of the electric drive system, the ES90 is built on an 800V high-voltage architecture, achieving a fast-charging capability of up to 350 kW, and is expected to add about 300 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes.
For the Malaysia market, the rear-wheel-drive version is introduced first. The single motor outputs 333 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.6 seconds. The rear-wheel-drive version is also equipped with a 92 kWh battery, with a WLTP comprehensive range of up to 755 kilometers.
The ES90 intelligent driving system will feature the Orin high-performance chip
In terms of intelligent configuration, the ES90 is equipped with a computing platform centered on the high-performance NVIDIA Drive AGX Orin chip. The perception system is composed of multiple high-definition cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and ultrasonic sensors.
Another point worth noting is that starting from 2026, newly produced vehicles will no longer be pre-installed with Luminar LiDAR. The ES90 may rely more on a powerful visual and radar fusion perception solution, with its intelligent driving capabilities gradually unlocked through software updates.

2026 Toyota Hilux Travo released, the brand-new exterior and interior are highly anticipated
If you're considering buying a Hilux, honestly, the comprehensive innovations in the ninth generation are worth waiting for. While the current model might still have some advantages in terms of reliability and price, the new model offers significant changes in terms of exterior and interior luxury, tech features, and powertrain options.
Jaecoo J7 VS Honda CR-V, which is the most worthwhile C-Segment SUV to buy
With an exterior that closely resembles a Land Rover, Jaecoo J7's sales experienced several months of rapid growth but have recently slowed down. Perhaps the market is nearing saturation, as Jaecoo J7 has already surpassed the once-dominant Honda CR-V in the C-Segment SUV category.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Which one is better, Honda City or Toyota Vios?
When choosing a compact sedan, Honda City and Toyota Vios are often two options that make people weigh repeatedly. You might be attracted to the dynamic design of the Vios but also be captivated by the City.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
