Volvo Car Malaysia has launched pre-sales of its Volvo ES90 battery-powered sedan ahead of local assembly, with the Swedish-based automaker inviting potential customers to register their interest in the model through its official website. Following its recent launch in Thailand, Volvo plans to officially launch the ES90 in Malaysia in the first quarter of 2026.

The ES90 is based on Volvo's latest SPA2 platform, featuring an 800-volt electrical architecture which it says delivers “outstanding efficiency and performance.” The model is available globally with a choice of 88 kWh and 102 kWh battery packs, powering a single motor and dual motors respectively, and supporting ultra-fast DC charging of up to 350 kW. The company said the single motor ES90 variant has a range of up to 755 km on a single charge.

Volvo Car Malaysia said in a statement: “The ES90 marks a new chapter for Volvo Car Malaysia as the brand's first fully electric sedan to be locally assembled, bringing together cutting-edge technology, long-range capability, and everyday practicality tailored for Malaysian drivers.”
