The new Volvo EX90 has generated R79,500,000 in revenue in its first two months on the market in South Africa.
The EX90 was released in March of this year and is the seven-seater counterpart to the popular Volvo EX30, as well as the flagship of the brand’s local catalogue.
Currently offered in a single “Ultra Twin Performance” specification, the EX90 is priced starting at R2,650,000 and, since its launch, has sold 30 units in South Africa.
This sales performance places it as the fifth best-selling EV in the two-month period and helped cement Volvo’s lead in the electric vehicle segment.
Along with the EX90 in fifth place, Volvo secured the top spot with its EX30, which sold 48 units, and third place with the combined sales of its XC40 and C40 Recharge reaching 36 units.
“Strong demand for Volvo’s electric vehicles in South Africa, led by the EX30, reflects increasing interest in premium electric mobility within the country,” said Felipe Yagi, Head of Marketing and Communications at Volvo Car South Africa.
“The introduction of the EX90 alongside our existing models shows South African drivers are exploring new possibilities with electric vehicles. This performance reinforces Volvo’s commitment to advancing sustainable transportation locally.”
Pushing for EV adoption
Supporting this performance, Volvo’s latest Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) offer makes it easier for customers to experience the benefits of electric driving without concerns over resale value, with a guaranteed trade-in value after 48 months.
EV customers also receive a complimentary home wall box charger, with Volvo covering R7,500 of the installation cost, a R12,000 public charging voucher, and 10 GB of in-car data per month for three years.
Volvo’s range of EVs in South Africa is also set to grow in 2025, with the introduction of the EX30 Cross Country and ES90.
