The Volvo ES90 is the Swedish marque’s fully-electric flagship.
In an age where mostly bland SUVs dominate global markets, it’s refreshing to see that Volvo hasn’t thrown in the towel completely and continues to make eye-catching sedans.
I say sedan, but the fully electric ES90 is more of a fastback than a full sedan, but at least it’s not an SUV.
Sure, the Swedish manufacturer is still heavily invested in SUVs and an electric future; they’re in the business of selling cars after all, but the ES90 certainly makes a bold four-door statement even in a niche market, especially in South Africa.
At five metres, it’s a long car to be sure, which has given the designers a fantastic scope to make something attractive. Chiselled is perhaps one word to describe it, combined with an extended and sloping roofline and compact rear, providing the fastback nomenclature.
