2026 Volvo EX90 Ultra Twin Motor Performance

Includes lithium-ion cells, modules, structural enclosure, battery management electronics, cooling plates, contactors, crash protection and pack assembly. A large premium-EV pack of this capacity is likely to be one of the vehicle's largest individual costs.

Covers the front and rear permanent-magnet or equivalent traction motors, power inverters, reduction gearsets, housings, shafts and associated high-voltage cabling. The 500 kW performance specification supports a cost above that of a single-motor mainstream EV system.

Includes steel and aluminium body structures, crash members, exterior panels, doors, tailgate, bumpers, lighting housings, windscreen and other glazing. The estimate reflects a large seven-seat luxury SUV with substantial crash structure and body volume.

Includes active air suspension hardware, dampers, subframes, steering system, brake assemblies, 22-inch wheels, tyres, hubs and related control components. Active suspension and large wheels raise the cost above a conventional SUV baseline.

Includes seven-seat structures, seat mechanisms, upholstery, dashboard, door panels, carpets, centre console, trim materials, panoramic-roof interior finishing and four-zone climate-control interfaces. Wool-blend, Nordico and recycled-content materials are included as premium but not unusually expensive material inputs.

Includes NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-based computing, cameras, radar, optional or configuration-dependent lidar, wiring harnesses, displays, head-up display, 360-degree camera hardware, control units, connectivity hardware, audio electronics and Bowers & Wilkins system components. The range is wide because lidar availability varies across 2026 production.

Includes heat pump, refrigerant circuit, compressors, pumps, valves, radiators, battery thermal management, 11 kW AC onboard charger, DC charging interfaces and supporting high-voltage distribution equipment.

Covers direct labour for body shop, paint, trim, battery installation, drivetrain installation, software loading, calibration, end-of-line testing and rework. Highly automated US automotive production limits direct labour per vehicle, but the vehicle's size and electronics increase process complexity.

Allocated directly attributable plant costs such as production-line depreciation, energy, tooling utilization, plant maintenance, quality inspection, calibration equipment and manufacturing supervision. Corporate R&D and unrelated corporate overhead are excluded.

Covers movement from the South Carolina plant to port, ocean shipment to the UK, marine insurance, port handling, protective materials and delivery to a UK distribution point. Dealer-specific delivery and retailer costs are excluded.

Approximates a 10% passenger-vehicle duty applied to an estimated customs value of roughly £62,000 before duty. The actual amount depends on customs valuation, declared origin, tariff classification and any preferential treatment; VAT is not included.
