What's the story

Volvo is all set to reveal the EX90 electric SUV on November 9. The EV will be a flagship model for the brand and will replace the XC90 in the brand's portfolio. The full-sized SUV will have an aerodynamic design and a drag coefficient of 0.29 to improve its driving range. It will be equipped with a roof-integrated LiDAR system.

Context

Why does this story matter?

Volvo is considered a pioneer when it comes to safety and was one of the earliest adopters of radar-based ADAS functions. The Swedish automaker is now implementing a LiDAR-based system that can detect pedestrians/obstacles up to 250m away, in the upcoming EX90 electric SUV. The four-wheeler will solidify the brand's commitment to a sustainable future and will be a flagship EV model globally.
