The Volvo EX90 is a built-to-order vehicle, which means the experience at Volvo Cars Huntington is fundamentally different from buying a car off the lot. Most buyers who walk in expecting the process to mirror a traditional purchase end up surprised - and those who prepare ahead of time get exactly the configuration they want with far less stress.
Bottom Line: Ordering an EX90 involves choosing a trim, selecting colors and features, placing a deposit, and waiting for your build slot to be confirmed. Most Huntington-area buyers can expect 8-14 weeks from order to delivery.
- Three trim levels: Plus, Plus Bright, and Ultimate
- Twin Motor standard (402 hp); Twin Motor Performance available on Ultimate
- Production timeline varies by configuration; order early for preferred delivery windows
How the EX90 Ordering Process Works at Volvo Cars Huntington
The EX90 is not a browse-and-buy transaction. Volvo builds each EX90 to customer specification at their Charleston, South Carolina facility, which means the car you drive home will be built specifically for you. The process starts with a configuration session at the dealership, where a product specialist walks you through every available option.
You’ll lock in your trim level, exterior color, interior material, and any optional packages during that session. Once your configuration is submitted, Volvo assigns a production week and your order enters the build queue. A refundable deposit holds your place.
The wait is the hardest part for most buyers. Delivery windows for Suffolk County buyers typically run 8 to 14 weeks from confirmed build slot, though that can shift based on production schedules and shipping logistics. Your contact at Volvo Cars of Huntington will keep you updated at each stage.
EX90 Trim Levels: Plus, Plus Bright, and Ultimate
The three EX90 configurations cover a meaningful range of features and prices. Understanding what each offers helps you avoid both overpaying and under-specifying.
The Plus starts at $79,995 and represents the most attainable entry point. It includes a 111 kWh battery, 402 horsepower Twin Motor AWD, Google-powered infotainment on a 14.5-inch screen, Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving, City Safety collision avoidance, and a full suite of standard ADAS features. Standard seating is 6-passenger (captain’s chairs in the second row); 7-passenger bench seating is available.
Plus Bright ($88,995) adds exterior and interior upgrades including a panoramic glass roof, 22-inch wheels, and interior finishes that add a degree of visual distinction. The mechanicals remain the same as the Plus, so this trim is primarily for buyers who want the aesthetic difference.
The Ultimate ($95,995) is the full-specification EX90. It includes Bowers & Wilkins Dolby Atmos sound, a rear entertainment system, ventilated front seats with a massage function, head-up display, and the option to add Twin Motor Performance (510 hp). Buyers ordering for families in Northport or Commack who want a full-luxury experience will find this trim the most complete package.

|---|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | ✓ $79,995 | $88,995 | $95,995 |
| Horsepower | 402 hp | 402 hp | ✓ Up to 510 hp |

What to Prepare Before Your Ordering Appointment
Come in with your must-haves already decided. The configuration session moves faster and feels less overwhelming when you’ve already narrowed down your color preferences and know whether you want 6 or 7-passenger seating. Volvo’s online configurator lets you preview combinations before your visit.
Financing decisions should also be started before your appointment. Because the EX90 may qualify for federal EV tax credits depending on your income and the vehicle’s production origin, it’s worth discussing your tax situation with a financial advisor before visiting. The credit availability changes frequently; your product specialist can provide the current status on any orders placed today.
Trade-in timing matters with a built-to-order vehicle. If you’re trading in a current vehicle, consider whether to do so at order time or at delivery. Most Huntington buyers find it simpler to get a trade appraisal at the time of order so they have a firm number, with the understanding that the actual trade transaction happens at delivery.
"Most EX90 buyers tell me the ordering process is actually more enjoyable than buying from stock - you end up with exactly what you wanted, and the wait gives you time to get your home charging setup ready before the car arrives."

Setting Up Home Charging Before Delivery
Level 2 charging is essential for EX90 ownership. A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds only about 5 miles of range per hour - too slow for a daily driver with a 300-mile battery. A 240V Level 2 home charger brings that to roughly 25-30 miles per hour, which is enough to fully charge overnight from a typical daily commute.
For Huntington and Northport homeowners, installation typically runs $500 to $1,200 including the charger hardware and electrician labor, depending on your panel’s proximity to your garage. Most buyers use the time between order and delivery to handle this, so the car is ready to use from day one.
LIPA and PSEG Long Island offer incentives and rebates for home EV charger installation that can reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Your Volvo product specialist can provide current rebate details applicable to Suffolk County residents.

EX90 Safety Technology: What Comes Standard
The EX90 includes the most advanced safety suite Volvo has ever offered as standard equipment across all trims. Lidar sensor technology gives the car a 360-degree view of its surroundings at all times, enabling detection of pedestrians, cyclists, and obstacles in conditions where cameras struggle.
Pilot Assist provides hands-on semi-autonomous highway driving assistance, maintaining lane position and following distance in stop-and-go traffic on roads like the LIE or Northern State Parkway. City Safety active braking works independently at urban speeds, activating in situations where the driver may not react in time.
The Interior Radar system monitors occupant movement when the vehicle is parked - a feature designed to detect children or pets left in the car. This is the kind of real-world family safety technology that makes the EX90 stand apart from many competitors at this price point. For independent crash test results, see NHTSA safety ratings.

FAQ: Ordering the Volvo EX90 in Huntington
How long does it take to receive a Volvo EX90 after ordering? Most orders from the Huntington area arrive within 8 to 14 weeks from confirmed production slot. Volvo’s factory in Charleston, SC builds each vehicle to order, so timeline depends on the current build schedule when you place your order.
Can I change my order after it’s placed? Minor changes (color swap, seat configuration) may be possible before your build slot is locked. Once production begins, changes are generally not possible. The product team at Volvo Cars of Huntington will tell you the change cutoff window when you place your order.
Does the EX90 qualify for the federal EV tax credit? Eligibility depends on your income level, the specific vehicle configuration, and current IRS rules. Because EX90 production happens in the United States, it meets domestic manufacturing requirements. However, battery component sourcing rules can affect the full credit amount. Confirm current eligibility with your tax advisor before placing your order.
What is the deposit amount for an EX90 order at Volvo Cars Huntington? Deposits are typically fully refundable and range from $500 to $1,000 depending on current dealer policy. Ask your product specialist for the current deposit terms at the time of your visit.
Is it worth ordering versus buying a stock EX90? For most buyers, yes. The EX90 has limited stock availability and ordering ensures you get the exact color, trim, and configuration you want. Buying from a dealer who happens to have the configuration you want in stock can save time, but it often means compromising on something.
Does the EX90 work well as a family car for Long Island commutes? It’s one of the best options in this price range for Nassau and Suffolk County families. The 300-mile range easily covers the typical Long Island commuting week without charging, and the available 7-seat configuration handles carpool and school-run duty well.
Ordering a Volvo EX90 at Volvo Cars of Huntington is a more involved process than a typical car purchase - but it’s also more rewarding. You’ll drive home in a vehicle built specifically for you, with every option chosen on purpose rather than settled for. The team at Volvo Cars of Huntington serves buyers from across Suffolk County including Northport, Commack, and Melville, and the ordering process is the same regardless of where you live.
Schedule your EX90 configuration appointment to get started - the most important step is simply showing up with your questions ready.
