Mach-E vs. 2024 Volvo EX90 - design, specs, price

[dbsb3233]

I can't believe how expensive 3-row EVs are, not just Volvos.

Size matters. It's why there's so few of them.

Negative. According to Autoblog " Examples of the EX90 bound for the U.S. market will be produced at Volvo’s factory in Ridgeville, South Carolina. "

The Chinese built automobile prices (bound for the US) INCLUDE a 27.5% Trump tariff in the price....big incentive to build elsewhere.

I think there’s a giant loophole as I recall. Tariffs can be canceled out by exporting US made cars to China (and maybe Europe?).

This would not surprise me.

Yesterday's Autoblog article is still reporting " Domestic models will be built in Volvo's Ridgeville, South Carolina facility. "

Makes perfect sense. The China tariff appears to be doing what it was intended to do.

The EX90 is somewhere between a Highlander and Grand Highlander. A tad larger than the Lyriq but not by much.

The EX30 has a cramped 2nd/back row but in the EX90 it actually fits adults. I didn't bother trying to sit in the 3rd row lol.

Why can't you touch the screen? Is it even more laggy than the MME's?

EU model. Both EX90 and EX30s were hand built prototypes with Menkes charge ports and non-functioning bits. 2nd row and 3rd row did not fold (or I was told NOT to fold them) and not to adjust the seat nor touch the screen.

ETA for both is this summer.

Great photos again voxel! Where did you take them?

I wonder if the wool seats will be hot in the summer?

This reminded me - I need to cancel my EX90 reservation!

I'm keeping my EX30 reservation until I get contacted for concrete options / prices, just to see what's what. Will cancel then.

(Or, can I "sell" my spot in line?? ?)
