On the 22nd, Volvo Korea officially launched its flagship sedan, the ES90. The ES90 represents the E-segment sedan line that began with the Volvo PV36, featuring the most powerful output in Volvo's history, a length of 5 meters, a wheelbase of 3.1 meters, an 800V battery system, and cutting-edge intelligent platforms from NVIDIA and Qualcomm, including the latest Core technology.

Volvo Korea Lee Yun-mo (CEO), confident in the ES90, declared its ambition to "definitely surpass the two German automakers in the domestic market and secure the number one position in the premium electric sedan segment." Additionally, Lee (CEO) emphasized, "We cannot remain number three forever. We have brought a world-class electric sedan at the most competitive price." In fact, as Lee Yun-mo (CEO) stated, the ES90 is priced approximately 50 million won lower than in major global markets. Compared to the S90 T8 (PHEV) model currently sold in Korea, this represents an unprecedented price reduction of about 18 million won.

The powertrain lineup for the ES90's domestic launch includes three configurations developed with a next-generation high-voltage 800V system to improve charging time, efficiency, and safety: ▲92kWh rear-wheel drive (RWD) single motor extended range, ▲106kWh all-wheel drive (AWD) twin motor, and ▲twin motor performance.

The selling prices are ▲Single Motor Extended Range Plus at 72.94 million won, ▲Single Motor Extended Range Ultra at 80.55 million won, ▲Twin Motor Plus at 79.60 million won, ▲Twin Motor Ultra at 87.41 million won, and ▲Twin Motor Performance Ultra at 95.41 million won. (Prices subject to applicable environmental tax incentives.)

The Volvo ES90 seen firsthand at the event has clearly evolved into a sedan distinct from previous Volvo models. It is packed with features that distinctly differentiate it from the Mercedes-Benz EQE and BMW i5. The spacious interior, based on a length exceeding 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3.1 meters, offers benefits beyond typical electric vehicle advantages. Notably, the vehicle has a height of 1,550 mm and a maximum ground clearance of up to 188 mm—dimensions not found in the Mercedes-Benz or BMW models highlighted by Lee Yun-mo (CEO). Particularly impressive are the measures taken for interior quietness. The windows feature double-glazed soundproof glass throughout, and thick sealing strips are applied not only to the doors but also along the lower part of the rocker panels.

Meanwhile, Volvo Korea reported sales of 840.5 billion won, a 3.7% decrease compared to the previous year. The operating profit margin was a low 0.84%. Conversely, the situation worsened as the exchange rate dropped by up to -16.1% during the same period. However, Lee Yun-mo (CEO) stated that with the ES90, they aim to surpass the two German automakers and secure the number one position in premium brand EV sedan sales.
