The Volvo EX90 (except 6-Passenger) offers an optional built in child booster seat. It’s more crash worthy than an added child seat because of its direct attachment to the seat. Genesis doesn’t offer the convenience and security of a built-in child booster seat in the Electrified GV70. Their owners must carry a heavy booster seat in and out of the vehicle; EX90 owners can just fold their built-in child seat up or down.

The Volvo EX90 has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Electrified GV70 doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

With its standard Automatic Emergency Braking, the Volvo EX90 is better at preventing collisions with pedestrians than the Genesis Electrified GV70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:

In a Vehicle-to-Vehicle Frontal Crash Prevention 2.0 test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Volvo EX90 achieved a “Good” rating - the highest possible - for its performance in forward collision warning and automatic braking systems, demonstrating its excellent capabilities in preventing collisions. The Genesis Electrified GV70 has not been tested.

The EX90 has standard Post-impact braking, which automatically apply the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Electrified GV70 doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Both the EX90 and the Electrified GV70 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, front seat center airbag, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Volvo EX90 weighs 901 to 1130 pounds more than the Genesis Electrified GV70. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Side impacts caused 23% of all road fatalities in 2018, down from 29% in 2003, when the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety introduced its side barrier test. In order to continue improving vehicle safety, the IIHS has started using a more severe side impact test: 37 MPH (up from 31 MPH), with a 4180-pound barrier (up from 3300 pounds). The results of this newly developed test demonstrates that the Volvo EX90 is safer than the Electrified GV70:

Warranty

The EX90’s corrosion warranty is 5 years longer than the Electrified GV70’s (12 vs. 7 years).

There are over 29 percent more Volvo dealers than there are Genesis dealers, which makes it easier should you ever need service under the EX90’s warranty.

Engine

The EX90’s standard electric motors produces 52 lbs.-ft. more torque (568 vs. 516) than the Electrified GV70’s electric motors. The EX90’s optional electric motors produces 27 more horsepower (510 vs. 483) and 155 lbs.-ft. more torque (671 vs. 516) than the Electrified GV70’s electric motors.

Fuel Economy and Range

The EX90 can travel longer on a full charge than the Electrified GV70 on a full charge:

			Miles
EX90
	AWD	21" Wheels Electric Motors	310 miles
		21" Wheels Performance Electric Motors	310 miles
		20 & 22" Wheels Performance Electric Motors	300 miles
		20 & 22" Wheels Electric Motors	300 miles
Electrified GV70
	AWD	Electric Motors	263 miles

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the EX90’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Electrified GV70:

	EX90	Electrified GV70
Front Rotors	15.7 inches	14.2 inches
Rear Rotors	15.4 inches	13.6 inches

The EX90 stops much shorter than the Electrified GV70:

	EX90	Electrified GV70
100 to 0 MPH	346 feet	363 feet	Car and Driver
70 to 0 MPH	167 feet	183 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	110 feet	118 feet	Motor Trend

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the EX90 has larger standard tires than the Electrified GV70 (F:255/50R20 & R:285/45R20 vs. 235/55R19).

The EX90’s standard 255/50R20 front and 285/45R20 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series front and 45 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Electrified GV70’s standard 55 series tires. The EX90’s optional tires have a lower 40 series profile than the Electrified GV70 AWD Advanced/Prestige’s 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the EX90 has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the Electrified GV70. The EX90’s optional 22-inch wheels are larger than the 20-inch wheels on the Electrified GV70 AWD Advanced/Prestige.

Suspension and Handling

The EX90 has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The EX90’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The Electrified GV70 doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the EX90’s wheelbase is 4.3 inches longer than on the Electrified GV70 (117.5 inches vs. 113.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the EX90 is 1.2 inches wider in the front and .4 inches wider in the rear than on the Electrified GV70.

The EX90 Ultra Twin Motor Performance handles at .86 G’s, while the Electrified GV70 Prestige pulls only .85 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The EX90 Ultra Twin Motor Performance executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Electrified GV70 Prestige (25.9 seconds @ .75 average G’s vs. 26.3 seconds @ .74 average G’s).

For greater off-road capability the EX90 has a 1.4 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the Electrified GV70 (8.3 vs. 6.9 inches), allowing the EX90 to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The EX90’s minimum ground clearance is 1.6 inches higher than on the Electrified GV70 (8.5 vs. 6.9 inches).

Chassis

The front grille of the EX90 uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Electrified GV70 doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Passenger Space

The EX90 has standard seating for 7 passengers; the Electrified GV70 can only carry 5.

The EX90 has 37.2 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Electrified GV70 (140 vs. 102.8).

The EX90 has 5.6 inches more front headroom, 3.3 inches more rear headroom, 3 inches more rear hip room and .9 inches more rear shoulder room than the Electrified GV70.

Cargo Capacity

The EX90 has a much larger cargo volume than the Electrified GV70 with its rear seat up (67.6 vs. 28.7 cubic feet). The EX90 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Electrified GV70 with its rear seat folded (67.6 vs. 56.5 cubic feet).

The EX90’s cargo area is larger than the Electrified GV70’s in every dimension:

	EX90	Electrified GV70
Length to seat (3rd/2nd/1st)	22.4”/50.2”/807”	n.a./37”/72”
Min Width	44.5”	40.2”
Height	33.9”	29”

Towing

The EX90’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the Electrified GV70’s (4850 vs. 3500 pounds).

Ergonomics

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The EX90 has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The Electrified GV70 doesn’t offer headlight washers.

The EX90 has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel is only available on the Electrified GV70 Advanced/Prestige.
