Last week, I spent a few hours driving the 2025 Volvo EX90, a new three-row all-electric SUV, on a media trip in California. It was a muted, laid-back and subtle experience. The car looked simple, non-flashy, attractive and sensible—very Scandinavian. The interior featured warm gray cloth and recycled blond wood panels, which were backlit at night with a honeycomb pattern. The backseat looked like it might be a little cramped, but the EX90 could still seat seven. The version I drove, the Twin Motor base, has, per its name, two electric motors that generate 420 horsepower. A “Performance” model has more powerful motors that top out over 500 hp. And both still get more than 300 miles of electric range.

The drive experience was smooth, fast, quiet and pleasant. It handled beautifully on twisty mountain roads and when stuck in traffic, which we were a lot. The cabin’s muted exterior sounds to a marvelous degree, and even if it hadn’t, there is a 25-speaker........
