ES90 Single Motor (MY26-27)

The Volvo ES90 Single Motor (MY26-27) is a 5-seat liftback with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £69,150. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.6 seconds, slower than 49% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 314 miles (505 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 83% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 15th of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (174 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 88 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 170 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 378 miles (609 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £220 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for liftbacks (£192 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £39,400–£44,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 308 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
