"On Monday morning, I spoke to a Volvo EX90 owner who reported a litany of issues with her 2025 EX90: Malfunctioning phone-as-a-key functionality, a useless keyfob, a keycard that rarely worked quickly, constant phone connection issues, infotainment glitches and error messages. I was surprised not because I hadn't heard of these kinds of problems, but because I experienced them myself over a year ago at the EX90 first drive again. At the time, Volvo said software fixes were imminent."
"Today, we know the issues go deeper. To solve them, Volvo announced today that it will replace the central computer of every 2025 EX90 with the new one from the 2026 EX90. It's a tacit admission that the company can't solve the EX90's issues while simultaneously launching its next-generation software-defined vehicles, and that it's easier to replace the original computer than to build bug-free software for it."
"Greer tipped me off that Volvo would be replacing the computer in her 2025 EX90, and the company later confirmed that the replacement unit is coming to all EX90s. The new computer is a Nvidia Drive AGX Orin-based core computer with over 500 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second) of power, which Volvo says will help power its autonomous driving ambitions."
Owners of 2025 Volvo EX90s have reported persistent, wide-ranging issues including malfunctioning phone-as-key, useless keyfobs, unreliable keycards, frequent phone connection failures, infotainment glitches, and repeated error messages. Volvo has spent more than a year attempting software fixes without resolving the problems. Volvo will replace the central computer in all 2025 EX90s with the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin-based unit from the 2026 EX90, offering over 500 TOPS of compute. The replacement aims to support advanced driver-assistance and future autonomous driving features, while the problems have already damaged customer confidence in the Volvo brand.
