A Belfast retailer is celebrating success after its popular electric SUV triumphed at a recent global awards ceremony.
Agnew Belfast Volvo, on Boucher Way, is delighted that the new fully electric Volvo EX90, a premium seven-seater SUV, was crowned winner in the Product Design (consumer design) category at the Dezeen Awards 2025.
The accolade comes as the judges hailed the EX90 as a mark of Volvo’s new era of legacy, showcasing safety, quality and innovation for the future.
Now in its eighth year, the Dezeen Awards have become the international standard for design excellence and the ultimate accolade for designers globally.
The Product Design category showcases leading commercial brands and products such as cars, cameras, gadgets and appliances that have been exhibited as final prototypes or which went into production between June 2023 and May 2025.
Judges praised the EX90’s sleek electric and software-defined design, which emphasises the brand’s pioneering commitment to a future of safety, technology, sustainability and design.
The panel went on to applaud the car’s advanced sensor systems, noting: “A great complexity of technologies has gone into this vehicle, seamlessly integrating sophisticated sensors which advocates for a safer driving environment. The concentration of intelligence and innovation is off the charts.”
Available from £82,660, the Volvo EX90 model features a unique set of eight cameras, five radars and ultrasonic sensors as part of its driver-assistance and safety systems. Pairing technology with efficiency, the car covers up to 375 miles on a single charge with no tailpipe emissions.
