Volvo EVs coming to the UAE in 2024: Swedish car manufacturer Volvo says it will be introducing the Volvo EX90 — a 7-seater EV SUV — in the Emirates through its UAE representative Al-Futtaim Automotive Group’s arm Trading Enterprises, Trade Arabia reports. Volvo is branding the EX90 as its safest car to date, the automaker said at its launch event for the car (watch, runtime: 4:52).

The specs: The EX90 will cover over 480 km on a full charge with some 500 horsepower. 250kW DC fast-chargers will recharge its battery from 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes, according to Volvo.

Sustainable inside and out: The fully electric SUV will be partially made from recycled aluminum, recycled steel, and repurposed plastics. (watch, runtime: 00:07:05).

Zero collision vision: The SUV will come equipped with a whopping 16 ultrasonic sensors, five radar systems, and eight cameras to detect the distance, makeup, and proximity of objects near the car. The EV also packs luminar sensors — laser tech — to estimate objects size, shape, and geometry to 250 meters in complete darkness and to minimize accidents as part of Volvo’s Zero Collision Vision.

They have driver safety (and kids + pets) covered: The EX90 will have two cameras inside of the car to sound alarms when drivers are showing signs of drowsiness, illness, and intoxication. It will also pack a detection system to remind and warn drivers when they forget their young ones or pets in the vehicle — especially during summer.

The company has yet to disclose definite price tags, but estimates tell us the model will be “well equipped” under USD 80k.
