Volvo hasn't officially announced the exact pricing for the 2025 EX90 in Malaysia just yet. But if we look at global pricing trends and Malaysia's import tax structure for EVs, we're expecting it to land somewhere between RM 400,000 and RM 500,000. Of course, that final number will hinge on the spec level, whether it's locally assembled (CKD) or fully imported (CBU), and whatever EV incentives the government has in place at the time.
As Volvo's flagship electric SUV, the EX90 rides on the advanced SPA2 platform. It packs a substantial 111kWh battery, which should deliver up to 600km of range on the WLTP cycle. Charging is quick too, with 250kW DC fast-charging support allowing a 10-80% top-up in around 30 minutes. Safety being a Volvo staple, it comes standard with a lidar system and the Pilot Assist driver assistance suite, clearly targeting families who value both protection and eco-friendliness.
Malaysian buyers should also keep in mind that EVs currently benefit from exemptions on import duties and SST, along with road tax discounts. However, there's a chance these policies could shift by 2025, so it's wise to check Volvo Malaysia's official website or get in touch with an authorized dealer for the latest tax specifics and any ongoing promotions before making a decision.
In terms of competition, the BMW iX xDrive50 and Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV are its main rivals. But the EX90 carves out its own niche with better third-row space and that distinct Scandinavian minimalist design, making it a solid pick for buyers who prioritize practicality and sustainability.
