THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial ◆ Reviewed against NHTSA data ◆ 2026-10-01

The Volvo EX90 is an all-new electric SUV. Positioned as a premium three-row vehicle, the EX90 has not yet been rated by NHTSA. No crash test data or recall information is available; as an all-new model, its safety performance remains to be seen.

The 2025 Volvo EX90 earns a NHTSA Safety Index of 92 out of 100, placing it in our Exceptional band. This large three-row SUV achieved perfect star ratings in both NHTSA's frontal and side crash tests. The rollover rating is reported as typical for vehicles of its type but remains an important detail for those prioritizing maximum protection across all metrics. The EX90 has accumulated three recalls for the 2025 model year. This count, while not alarming for a new, technologically advanced EV, merits attention from prospective buyers. Owner complaints stand at 59, including one reported crash and one reported injury. These complaints are unverified, and their overall volume is low relative to sales, but the data warrants continued observation as the EX90 fleet ages. The EX90 stands as one of the safest large SUVs evaluated, offering genuinely reassuring data for safety-focused families.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the EX90 as a sophisticated, technology-forward flagship that sets a high benchmark for the premium electric SUV segment. Most praise its interior refinement and driver-assistance technology, while noting that first-year software complexity warrants attention. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with the EX90 viewed as a credible and compelling choice in its class.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • The 2025 EX90 earned five out of five stars in both NHTSA frontal and side crash tests, placing it among the top performers in the large SUV category for occupant protection in those scenarios.
  • The rollover rating comes in at four out of five stars, which is common for tall three-row SUVs but is a meaningful data point for buyers hauling a full family load at highway speeds.
  • Three recalls have been issued for the 2025 model year. As a first-year flagship EV with significant onboard technology, shoppers should verify that any open recalls are resolved before taking delivery and monitor NHTSA's database for future actions.
  • Owner complaints stand at 59, including one reported crash and one reported injury. These are unverified allegations, but the complaint record is worth revisiting as the EX90 fleet grows and more real-world data accumulates.

Most-recalled year on record: 2025 Volvo Ex90 with 3 recalls.
