Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $117,700 and $117,689 respectively.

Feature Showdown

The Ineos Grenadier features a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while the Volvo EX90 gets a 14.5-inch display and 9-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.

The Ineos Grenadier stands out with JBL audio that you will not find on the Volvo EX90. The Volvo EX90 counters with head-up display, wireless charging, panoramic roof, ventilated seats, power tailgate, Bowers & Wilkins audio and ambient lighting. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.

Interior trim differs: the Ineos Grenadier gets cloth upholstery while the Volvo EX90 offers nordico/microtech.

Drivetrain

The Ineos Grenadier uses a Twin-turbo diesel producing 183kW and 550Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a 4WD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 9.8 seconds.

The Volvo EX90 responds with a Electric making 245kW and 480Nm, paired to a single-speed driving the rear wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds.

The Volvo EX90 has the clear power advantage at 245kW vs 183kW. In the real-world sprint, the Volvo EX90 is 3.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.

For towing, the Ineos Grenadier leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 1,500kg. That 2,000kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
