The Volvo EX90 makes its debut on November 9, and when it rolls off the cover, it’ll be loaded with sensors. Volvo has announced that the new electric crossover will feature an interior radar system designed to detect people – especially children – and pets left in the SUV.
Volvo presents the new crossover as a vehicle that will understand the driver and the environment around him. The new interior radar system, which will be a standard feature on the EX90 and available on future Volvo models, integrates sensors throughout the cabin, including the boot, placing them in the overhead console, reading lamps and other areas to provide a complete cabin. cover.

The system is activated when the driver tries to lock the doors, checking for movement in the vehicle. According to Volvo, the radar is sensitive enough to detect sub-millimeter movements, such as the shallow breathing of a sleeping toddler. If the system detects movement, it will not allow the car to lock. Instead, a message on the center console screen will warn the driver to check for occupants in the vehicle. If passengers or pets stay in the car, the EX90’s air conditioning system can operate as long as the battery has sufficient charge.
“We have always been a leader in safety and we want to continue protecting lives by setting new standards in automotive safety,” says Lotta Jakobsson, senior technical specialist in injury prevention at Volvo. “With the help of cutting-edge technology, we’ll support you when you’re not at your best and help you avoid leaving family members or pets behind by accident.”
The new radar system will work alongside several other technologies that Volvo will introduce in the EX90. On the outside, the EX90 will feature 16 ultrasonic sensors, eight cameras and five radars. Inside, Volvo will train cameras and sensors on the driver to detect driver alertness and ensure the driver steers the vehicle safely. If the system detects an unresponsive pilot, the system shuts down the EX90 and calls for help.
The EX90 will serve as the brand’s electric replacement for the XC90. Patent images from this summer gave some insight into the model’s design, with the new SUV not straying far from the current design language of the XC90. Volvo previously said the XC90 would remain in production and on sale alongside the new electric vehicle.
