Explore ES90 features

Take control of your journey with the 14.5-inch free-standing centre display. This high-resolution touchscreen sits at the heart of the dashboard, offering easy access to maps, media and apps.

The screen’s anti-glare coating resists smudges and reduces reflections to keep visuals crisp in any light. Sensors and an infrared film make it responsive, even if you’re wearing gloves.

Get driving information exactly how you want it on the 9-inch driver display. A switch on the steering wheel lets you choose from three views. Calm shows speed and basic navigation prompts, while Navi adds a detailed map. Surround can show the cars, trucks and motorcyclists around you. The interface is easy to read and complements the centre display.

Keep your focus on the road with the optional head-up display. It projects essential information like speed, speed limits and navigation prompts directly onto the windscreen so they appear to hover over the bonnet. There’s less need to look down or shift your gaze. And the large size makes it easy to read.

The display stays crisp and clear whether you're driving through a tunnel or after dark. You can also adjust the brightness and position to suit your preferences.

The core computer inside the ES90 is part of the Volvo Cars Superset technology stack, one single foundational system that will power future Volvo cars.

That computational power is used to manage functionalities such as AI-based, state-of-the-art active safety features, car sensors and efficient battery management. It also allows the software-defined ES90 to evolve over time with over-the-air updates, introducing new capabilities and refining existing ones.

This approach means your ES90 will stay at the cutting edge throughout its life.

Feel more in control behind the wheel with a centre display that connects you to what’s happening inside and outside the car.

The vertical orientation shows more of the route ahead, making navigation easy to follow. Its interface is designed to keep your focus on the road with smart widgets to manage key functions and contextual shortcuts that pop up as you need them, like the 360° camera when parking. The large display can also show navigation and app windows side by side, so you can view both at a glance.

The body of your ES90 is designed to help provide 360° protection in the event of an accident. A high-strength steel safety cage surrounds everyone in the car, working with front, rear and side deformation zones to absorb and redistribute the force of an impact. For added security, the battery is shielded by its own safety cage.

In the event of a side collision, the Side Impact Protection System™ is designed to help distribute crash forces across the car’s body. This helps limit intrusions into the cabin and reduce the risk of injury to passengers. A long airbag along the roofline deploys in milliseconds to help provide head protection for passengers in the front and rear outer seats. It also helps shield against debris like broken glass from side windows. Seatbelts tighten to help keep front passengers securely positioned and airbags in the front seats are deployed to help protect the chest and lower body.

If the car leaves the road during an accident, the front seatbelts tighten to hold you in place. The front seats are designed to help protect your spine during heavy landings. And in case of a rollover accident, the restraints deploy automatically. Combined with the strong safety cage, these features work together to help protect everyone inside.

The ES90 is equipped with cutting-edge sensing technology designed to help perceive the environment and reduce the risk of accidents or collisions if needed.

This sensing technology helps create a real-time 360° view of your surroundings. Supported by Volvo Cars’ core computing platform, it processes vast amounts of data with speed and precision to enable the car to respond intelligently to potential hazards. And with over-the-air updates, the system continuously evolves to help keep your car on the cutting edge over time.

Lidar sensing technology is part of this constellation of sensors. Embedded in the roofline, lidar can use pulsed laser light to measure distances with precision. It can detect moving and stationary objects up to 250 metres away – even in complete darkness.

Sensors and a touch-sensitive steering wheel analyse patterns in your eye and head movements, along with your driving style. Driver Understanding uses this information to adjust the timing of warnings and interventions, giving you the chance to respond to potential risks and stepping in only when needed.

But on days when you’re not at your best, the car can provide extra support. Like if it detects signs of drowsiness, it may suggest a break. If your steering is not up to its usual standard, it can gently help you stay in the lane. And if you don’t respond to escalating alerts, the car can bring itself to a stop and activate the hazard lights.

Your ES90 is designed to help avoid collisions or mitigate their impact when they can’t be avoided. Its advanced safety systems can support you in the most critical moments.

The car can detect oncoming vehicles on a collision course. If a collision is imminent, the seatbelts tighten to help position front seat passengers more effectively before impact, and the car automatically applies the brakes to help you slow down by up to 15 km/h.

If a fast-approaching vehicle gets too close from behind, the car flashes all its indicators to warn the other driver. If the car senses that a collision is unavoidable, the front seatbelts tighten, and the seats are designed to help reduce the risk of whiplash injury. The brakes are also applied to lower the risk of secondary impacts.

There’s support while reversing, too. Rear sensors can detect approaching vehicles up to 30 metres away, pedestrians, and cyclists. If you don’t react to warnings, the car can automatically brake to prevent or reduce the severity of an impact.

Get a reminder if someone is inadvertently left behind in the car. Radar sensors throughout the cabin enable our occupant sensing system to detect sub-millimetre movement. If your ES90 detects a person or animal inside the car when you try to lock the doors, it can stay unlocked and notify you to check the interior. The climate system can remain on to improve comfort and reduce the risk of hypothermia or heatstroke.

Avoid unforeseen accidents when opening the doors of your parked car. The radars on the rear of your Volvo car can detect approaching cyclists and motorists from behind and alert anyone in the car who might be about to open their door. Your car can send you alerts in two stages. Initially, a warning light on the corresponding door mirror can illuminate. If a collision is imminent, the light can begin flashing with a warning sound.

Pilot Assist supports relaxed yet focused driving from a standstill up to 150 km/h. Keep your hands on the wheel as it gently adjusts steering, braking and acceleration. It can even read road signs and automatically adjust your speed to match the limit.

Park Pilot Assist can make parking easier. When driving under 16 km/h, it can spot suitable spaces for parallel or perpendicular parking, ready for you to confirm with a tap. Your ES90 takes care of steering, shifting, accelerating and braking while you stay alert to step in if needed. It can even help you smoothly exit tight parallel spaces when it's time to head off.

Light up the night without dazzling other drivers. The advanced High Definition Pixel headlights in the ES90 use 20,000 pixels that change the light pattern according to what’s on the road. Working with the car's front cameras, they can detect up to five cars and three other objects at once. The light pattern automatically adjusts to help reduce glare while keeping your visibility clear.

Get in and out of tight spots with the optional 360° camera with 3D view. Use the split-screen option on the centre display for a near-180° front or rear view for better visibility. When reverse parking, the rear-view camera shows guiding lines to help you ease into place. Pinch to zoom in, especially while attaching a trailer.
