Volvo Cars Korea announced on June 11 that it will begin pre-orders for its next-generation flagship electric vehicle, the ES90.
 
The ES90 is developed based on Volvo's latest SPA2 architecture and SDV strategy, representing a new interpretation of the traditional sedan format for the electrification era.

First unveiled to the global market in March of last year, the ES90 made its domestic debut at the recent 'Sweden Day 2026' event.

As part of Volvo's flagship lineup, the ES90 features cutting-edge safety technologies, a software-centric mobility experience, and embodies Swedish luxury. It offers a spacious and comfortable interior, a quiet driving experience, and an intuitive next-generation user experience, catering to business, daily life, and family travel, thus providing a new premium electric vehicle experience.
 
The ES90 will be available in South Korea with three powertrain options to accommodate various lifestyles and driving conditions: a single motor extended range, a twin motor, and a twin motor performance variant. It is built on an innovative 800V electric system, allowing for a maximum driving range of up to 706 kilometers on a single charge (WLTP standard).

The starting price for the domestic market is set in the mid-70 million won range for the single motor extended range variant and in the high 70 million won range for the twin motor variant. Detailed pricing and the full range of trims will be announced with the official launch on July 22.

Yoon Mo, CEO of Volvo Cars Korea, stated, "The ES90 is a new class of flagship electric vehicle that encapsulates Volvo's long-standing safety philosophy, human-centered values, and top-tier technology. We aim to actively target the domestic flagship electric vehicle market with a strategic pricing policy."
 
Pre-orders for the ES90 will be available starting today at 39 official Volvo Cars showrooms nationwide, with further details accessible on the official Volvo Cars Korea website.

Monthly sales figures were 1,037 in January, 1,095 in February, 1,496 in March, 1,105 in April, and 1,058 in May, highlighting its strong presence in the flagship electric vehicle market based on a reasonable pricing strategy.
