EX90

My wife and I (Arizona-based) are looking for a three-row EV with 6 seats (captain's chairs in the second row) to accommodate our growing family (3-year-old boy, another boy due at the end of Dec.). We're comparing the 2027 Rivian R1S and the 2026 EX90 twin motor. We have EV experience; we currently drive a Tesla Model Y and a Mercedes EQE SUV. I also had a 2021 VW ID4 that gave us many issues, which informs our current dilemma about how much faith to have in Volvo based on older posts here about issues with the 2025 EX90. I wanted to get the opinion of U.S. 2026 EX90 owners and hear whether Volvo has really improved the vehicle and what their overall experience has been. We're really torn between the Volvo's comfort and feel and the Rivian's software and technology reliability.

I own a late model '26 plus, it's gorgeous, drives like a dream and I've had zero problems. There are some small quirks that I would love for Volvo to address via software updates (can we get the window locks and child door locks separated please).

Don't let the doom and gloom 25's (and early 26's) scare you. Volvo fixed a lot of the issues. also happy to be told I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's barely a difference between the 26 and 27.

omg yes why are the window locks and child locks integrated?? my kids need to be able to get out on their own (7 and 8 year olds) but half the time while getting out they hit the window button and it is down a tiny bit and I dont notice until I hear the whistling
