Dorset Chamber’s Ian Girling Test Drives the New Volvo ES90 at Volvo Cars Poole
Volvo Cars Poole recently welcomed Dorset Chamber’s Ian Girling for an exclusive opportunity to experience the all-new Volvo ES90 first-hand.
Blending premium comfort, advanced technology and impressive all-electric performance, the Volvo ES90 immediately proved itself as a vehicle designed to make every day driving effortless, refined and practical.
First Impressions
From the moment he stepped inside, Ian was impressed by the Volvo ES90’s spacious, modern interior and premium finish. The minimalist Scandinavian design, high-quality materials and intuitive layout create a calm, driver-focused environment.
Ian commented on the overall sense of space and quality inside the car: “The driving position and interior feel really premium and very spacious.
Practicality is equally strong, with generous passenger space, a large boot and thoughtful features such as the panoramic sunroof with intelligent shading.
Driving Feel & Performance
Out on the road, Ian felt the Volvo ES90 delivered a smooth, controlled and confident drive. Despite its size, it remained balanced and easy to handle, with reassuring braking and a strong sense of safety throughout.
Responsive electric performance, paired with a quiet, well-insulated cabin, made for a smooth and refined driving experience.
Practicality & Everyday Use
After spending a full weekend with the Volvo ES90, its real-world usability became even more apparent. One of the standout impressions for Ian was the electric range, which gave a strong sense of confidence for both daily driving and longer trips.
“After a long weekend of driving, I still had a very good amount of range left in the Volvo. It really feels like a car that’s ready for every kind of journey.”
That combination of range, comfort and ease of use helped reinforce how well suited the Volvo ES90 is to everyday life.
Driver assistance systems, including cameras and parking sensors, also made a noticeable difference. Despite its size, the car felt easy to manoeuvre, with clear visibility and helpful technology taking the stress out of parking and tight spaces.
Technology & Comfort
Inside the cabin, the Volvo ES90 blends technology and comfort seamlessly. Highlights included the premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system and the seat massage function, both enhancing long-distance comfort and a luxurious driving experience.
The quiet electric drive and spacious interior create a refined and relaxing environment throughout.
Considering the Switch to Electric
One of the most notable aspects of the experience was how much the Volvo ES90 changed Ian’s perspective on electric driving. Its combination of range, comfort and potential running cost savings made the transition feel far more achievable.
“It has definitely made me, for the first time ever, consider switching to electric in the future.”
