Volvo EX90 2026 with 800V system and dual NVIDIA Orin
Volvo Cars presents the upgraded EX90 2026 with 800V fast charging, dual NVIDIA Orin computer, enhanced safety systems, e-call and electrochromic roof.
Volvo has unveiled the upgraded EX90 for the 2026 model year, emphasizing faster charging, greater computing power, and enhanced safety systems. The shift to an 800-volt architecture allows the car to recover up to 250 kilometers of range in just ten minutes at a 350 kW station. With this step, the EX90 now stands alongside rivals such as the Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron GT, and Hyundai Ioniq 5, where ultra-fast charging has already set new benchmarks.
The hardware platform has also advanced significantly: the EX90 now integrates dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin processors, delivering a combined 500 TOPS of computing power. This capability paves the way for more complex driver-assist algorithms and continuous over-the-air updates. A prominent example is Emergency Stop Assist: if the driver fails to respond, the car comes to a controlled stop and automatically connects to a call center. In the European Union, eCall is mandatory for all new vehicles, yet Volvo notes that availability of the automatic call function still depends on the market.
Other additions include hazard and slippery road alerts, expanded automatic emergency steering in darkness, and Park Pilot support for parallel parking. The EX90 also introduces an electrochromic panoramic roof — a feature first launched on the ES90 — that lets drivers adjust glass transparency at the touch of a button.
Owners of the 2025 EX90 are not left behind: Volvo offers a free core computer upgrade through scheduled service visits. Analysts see this as part of the company’s strategy to unify hardware platforms while scaling capabilities through software. It reflects Volvo’s broader ambition to progress toward electrification and climate neutrality, with long-term goals set for 2030 and 2040.
