2026 Volvo EX90 Plus: Danvers Buyers Guide

2026 Volvo EX90 at Volvo Cars Danvers in Danvers, MA

Quick Answer: The 2026 EX90 Plus

The 2026 Volvo EX90 Plus starts at $76,695 MSRP before the $1,395 destination charge, with a new-for-2026 Single Motor rear-wheel-drive powertrain standard (329 horsepower, up to 293 miles of EPA-estimated range) and Twin Motor all-wheel drive available as an upgrade (up to 442 horsepower, up to 305 miles). Standard equipment includes Bose Premium sound, a head-up display, the full camera-radar-ultrasonic sensor suite, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Google built-in, with the cabin configurable for six or seven seats. It's the entry point into Volvo's electric flagship, not a stripped-down version of it.

The entry trim, not the entry-level experience

Volvo doesn't usually strip much out of its base trims, and the EX90 Plus follows that pattern. Bose Premium sound, a head-up display, and the same camera-radar-ultrasonic sensor array that runs across the whole lineup are standard from the first configuration, not options bolted on later. Wireless Apple CarPlay is standard too, worth flagging because it's the reverse of Volvo's gas SUVs on this same lot: the XC40, XC60, and XC90 all use a wired connection, while the EX90 goes wireless. Google built-in handles the rest of the infotainment, with Google Maps, Assistant, and Play running from the center display and a four-year digital services package folded into the price.

The Plus is also where the powertrain decision actually happens. It's the only trim offered with the new Single Motor layout, a rear-wheel-drive setup making 329 horsepower that exists specifically to bring the entry price down for 2026; step up within the same trim to Twin Motor and a front motor adds all-wheel drive along with more of both power and range. Neither choice changes the equipment list, so the decision comes down to budget and how much a buyer values all-wheel drive heading into a North Shore winter.

Room for the family, six seats or seven

Every EX90, Plus included, configures for either six or seven seats, and Volvo keeps the exterior's SUV proportions identical either way. Fold the seatbacks and the cargo hold opens to a maximum of 85.3 cubic feet, with an additional 2.5-cubic-foot storage compartment under the floor for the cables and odds and ends that would otherwise clutter a glovebox. The third row raises and folds with power controls from the center display or the tailgate itself, and the tailgate opens hands-free with a kick under the bumper when both arms are full coming out of the Liberty Tree Mall.

Charging a Plus on the North Shore

Every 2026 EX90, the Plus included, runs on the new 800-volt electrical architecture, the piece of hardware that makes a 10-80% DC fast charge possible in as fast as 22 minutes at a compatible station. A standard NACS adapter adds access to more than 29,000 additional fast chargers, Tesla's Supercharger network included, on top of the existing CCS network. Most owners still do the bulk of their charging overnight at home on a Level 2 wallbox, which is also why Volvo Cars Danvers offers EV charging station installation as one of its own services, saving the fast-charging stops for a run up Route 128 or down toward Boston.

What buyers say about the process here

Volvo Cars Danvers carries a 4.4-star average across more than 460 Google reviews, and the buying experience described in them runs consistent regardless of what's being purchased. "Boris and everyone at [Volvo Cars Danvers] were so helpful in buying our new Volvos. They made the process easy and were so wonderful to work with. We highly recommend them for their wonderful customer service and experience!" wrote Wendy Lewis. That kind of unhurried, question-friendly process is exactly what a Single Motor-versus-Twin Motor decision on a Plus deserves, since it's the one call on this trim that genuinely changes how the car drives.

Frequently asked questions

What powertrain comes standard on the EX90 Plus?

The new-for-2026 Single Motor: a single rear motor making 329 horsepower with an EPA-estimated range of up to 293 miles. Twin Motor all-wheel drive, up to 442 horsepower and up to 305 miles of range, is available on the Plus as an upgrade.

Does the EX90 Plus have Apple CarPlay?

Yes, and it's wireless, standard across the EX90 lineup including the Plus. Google built-in runs alongside it for Google Maps, Assistant, and Play from the center display.

How many seats does the EX90 Plus have?

Buyers choose six or seven seats at configuration; the exterior and cargo capacity stay the same either way, with a maximum of 85.3 cubic feet behind the folded seatbacks.

Is the Plus worth it over stepping up to the Ultra?

It depends on what a buyer is optimizing for. The Plus carries the same core safety and infotainment hardware as the Ultra; what the Ultra adds is comfort equipment (panoramic roof, ventilated seats, massage) and the only path to Twin Motor Performance. A buyer who wants the electric flagship experience without those comfort extras gets essentially the same driving and safety technology for less in a Plus.

Can I order a Single Motor Plus with all-wheel drive?

No. Single Motor is rear-wheel drive by design; all-wheel drive requires stepping up to Twin Motor within the Plus trim.

See it, sit in it, charge it

The Plus is where most EX90 shoppers start the conversation, and it's worth a full test drive in both powertrain flavors before deciding. Volvo Cars Danvers's new inventory keeps EX90 Plus builds on the floor at 24 Commonwealth Avenue.
