Volvo has announced it is expanding its electric-vehicle (EV) product portfolio with the debut of a brand-new EV, the ES90. Scheduled to make its global debut on 5 March, 2025, in addition to releasing a teaser images of ES90, the Swedish marque has revealed a few details of the upcoming model.

From what we can make out from the teaser images, the ES90 takes the shape of a coupé-styled SUV, which, bar its sloping roofline, incorporates similar styling as the EX90, which we sampled on the international launch in Los Angeles in 2024. (As a reminder, the latter emissions-free SUV will arrive in South Africa in the first half of 2025.)

Although the Gothenburg-based automaker has yet to reveal such powertrain specifications as the power and torque outputs of the ES90, it has confirmed that the new model will offer an all-electric operating range of “up to” 700 km. In addition, the company says the new 800 V electric architecture employed by the ES90 allows for improved performance and efficiency, and faster charging times. The firm claims a 10-minute 350 kW DC fast charge provides “up to” 300 km of range.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
