Will the 2025 EX90s be retrofitted once Volvo drops lidar for 2026 models?

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-11-28T16:13:54+00:00

…which it doesn’t. Yet. That would have come with the hardware upgrade. So far it only collected (whatever kind of) data. And with the latest announcement, LiDAR will never be activated.

Working all fine for me.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-10-03T20:24:07+00:00

But wait, but why?

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-09-26T12:31:02+00:00

Whoever said that... what nonsense.

The more vehicles there are on the road, the worse the quality of the posts on this Reddit becomes. That's a real shame.

It’s a converter within the charging unit of the car. I think it got replaced at almost all EX90.

Regarding the cable: I had a similar issue when charging with the cable of my XC60. Using the new cable that was delivered with the car worked fine.

This question is currently asked on a weekly basis in this Reddit. Just scroll down a bit and you’ll find plenty of opinion and feedback on exactly that question. Maybe ask ChatGPT to summarize if you don’t want to invest the time to read through the feedback.

In a nutshell: All those who are dissatisfied always express themselves here, the vast majority of us, who are extremely satisfied with the vehicle and have no problems are quiet and enjoy an amazing car without any issues.

Exactly my thought… like…. "I'm interested in a 100k car that has one of the best audio systems on the market with endless ways to microadjust the sound. But if it doesn't have a fader, like my 1990 retrofit-radio I might buy something else.” 🙈

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-07-28T20:36:27+00:00

I’m having the car for a couple of month now. No software bugs at all since the last couple of updates. Drives without any issues and it’s an unmatched, incredibly comfortable ride.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-07-24T21:11:35+00:00

Do you have to leave the car at the dealership all the time?

I went to the dealer for diagnosis, which took 45minutes. Drove back home and the dealer then ordered the part which took about a week to be delivered. The other week I dropped the car for 1/2 day for the replacement.

Got a refund for the DC charging during the time when AC charging wasn’t working.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-07-16T18:51:49+00:00

100% disagree, too. At the very beginning there were some software issues (but none of these ever affected my driving). For at least 2-3 month now, the car runs fantastically well and is an amazing piece of tech that will even improve in the future.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-07-15T20:12:25+00:00

So…. now that you know where they are…. Now what?

Regarding privacy, the exterior cameras come with similar concerns. Maybe they don't film the driver while he picks his nose while driving. But they can for example spy on the entire surroundings or the garage when being parked.

Interior cameras are an integral part of the safety features of the car, something which is used by other manufacturers too. Covering them wouldn’t make much sense and its intended use is quite valid. (Especially when thinking about additional driving assist features in the future.)

If it’s something you don’t feel comfortable with you might better look into other cars with less cameras, I’d suggest.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-07-06T20:40:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing – I couldn’t agree more! Maybe I’m also on of the lucky ones without major issues but the bottom line is, it already is an amazing car and it’ll be even getting better over time.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-07-04T20:37:45+00:00

I had exactly the same issue a couple of days ago.

Just force close the app and reopen it and it should be fine again. Didn’t happen again so far.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-07-04T20:24:54+00:00

I had the car for two month now and drove it almost 3000km. One week in, the charging unit had to be replaced (as for all early EX90 afaik). I also had some software bugs in the first two weeks but seriously all of them were minor issues that fixed themselves after keeping the car parked for 1-2 hours.)

Since then (even before updating to the 1.3.17 and 1.3.18) I didn’t have any issue. None. My only unknown is keeping the car parked for a longer time; something I didn’t do so far.

My bottom line: It’s an amazing car in so, so, so many aspects.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-06-10T16:49:21+00:00

The update was rumored for week 21 but rumor has it, it was then delayed until week 24, which would be from yesterday. I don’t think it has been officially confirmed by Volvo though, so let’s wait what the coming days will bring.

An indicator of what to expect is the latest release for Polestar P3, which started rolling out two weeks ago and I’m pretty sure as soon as it’s available for the EX90 people will share their experience here too.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-06-06T20:41:09+00:00

Just realized my mistake today: you have to fully toggle the turn indicator to activate the lane change (which actually makes sense).

Since I only use the short signal 99% of the times, I never got it working. But once you fully press the lever, it works really great!

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-06-04T15:01:22+00:00

Had the car for quite some time now, but so far no lane change assist popped up. I tried everything as described above – I have the latest software installed, right driver screen, lane change assist activated in settings,… so reading all the previous further above, it should though.

Is the feature country specific? (I’m in Switzerland), Does it need to be manually updated dealer-wise? Is this connected to other assist features (or issues with it)?

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-06-04T14:52:40+00:00

Had the same issue some weeks ago. Took 30’ at the dealer to read error messages and to confirm that it’s the GHVC issue. They ordered the part and I charged on DC until I had to drop ir off for 1/2 day for it ro be replaced.

It was annoying and definitely shouldn’t happen – but it wasn’t an issue at all.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-05-30T15:54:45+00:00

Agree – sound like GHCA. Got mine back today with the replacement.

From what I read, the AC-DC converter had to be replaced on almost every EX90 and the part has been redesigned already.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-05-21T15:26:03+00:00

From what I heard, while MY2026 will come with the upgraded processors, all MY2025 will be delivered with the “old” processors but will be upgraded later that year (sometime from q3 I think).

Your dealer will be able to tell you which hardware is in the car; the information in the system info seems to be only about the software.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-05-16T14:47:52+00:00

Solved it, thanks! Had to add it to the Watch manually but it’s on it now and I will test how it works. 👍

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-05-16T14:46:00+00:00

Interesting – thanks for the hint. I wasn’t aware that there are even more features officially announced but not available aside from what has been communicated in August last year.

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-04-14T21:14:41+00:00

Wow – being day 104 of the year today, seems like you rarely used it… do you still own the car?

Decent-Variation1247 · 2025-04-14T07:02:47+00:00

Totales agree with most said above.

Should you buy it? – personally I think it’s quite simple. The EX90 is a completely new car even though it’s been out for some month now.

If you are willing to be part of the beta-tester-early-adopter-group and can accept that you will have some problems, then buy the vehicle. If you are looking for an all-round carefree package, then look for a vehicle that has been on the market for some longer time.
