Model profile
Model history and generations
Generations at a glance
The EX90 is a first-generation model that entered production for the 2025 model year, so the used pool is young and low-mileage by definition.
Powertrain and equipment
Engines, drivetrain and trims
Powertrain lineup
The EX90 is offered as a dual-motor all-wheel-drive EV. The Twin Motor version produces around 408 hp, while the Twin Motor Performance steps up to roughly 510 hp and a 0-100 km/h time comfortably under five seconds.
Trims in the US market
The EX90 is a single body style — a large three-row SUV seating six or seven — offered in Plus and Ultra trims with the two power outputs.
Vehicle selection
North American market and suitability
The used market stateside
Because the model is new, US used EX90s are typically recent, low-mileage cars, often former demonstrators or short-term leases.
Who should import one
The EX90 suits a buyer who wants a large, quiet, safety-focused electric family SUV and is comfortable with early-adopter software.

Pre-purchase review
Model-specific inspection points
Inspection plan for this model
For the Volvo EX90, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on battery condition, charging interface, warning messages, software status and accessible high-voltage and cooling-system components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
Differences, adaptation and registration
What US models do differently
US EX90s use the North American charging standard and connector, so a European buyer will typically need an adapter or a workshop conversion to use CCS2 charging comfortably, and this should be planned before import.
German TÜV and registration
Typical work centres on lighting compliance (headlights, rear fog lamp), confirming the speedometer, and above all sorting the charging interface so the car works on European CCS2 infrastructure.
USCar Trader services
Inspection, purchase processing and escrow
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
- Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
- Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
- On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
- Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
- Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers
Common questions about importing this model
Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
How is import VAT treated when importing a Volvo EX90?
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Will a US EX90 charge on European stations?
Not without adaptation. US cars use the North American connector, so an adapter or conversion to CCS2 is needed before the car works comfortably on European DC chargers.
How much range does the EX90 offer?
US EPA figures sit roughly in the 480-500 km range depending on wheels and trim, from a battery of about 111 kWh gross.
Is the EX90 reliable?
Its early issues were mainly software-related and have been addressed through updates. The dual-motor EV drivetrain itself is mechanically simple.
What is the LiDAR sensor for?
The roof-mounted LiDAR feeds the car's driver-assistance and safety systems, improving object detection to support Volvo's safety strategy.
Are used EX90s low mileage?
Generally yes. Because the model is new, US used examples are typically recent, lightly driven cars such as ex-demonstrators.
Does the warranty carry over to Germany?
Warranty transfer on export should be clarified case by case, as coverage terms differ between markets. USCar Trader helps document the car's status.
