Introducing the new Volvo EM90 - more than just a vehicle, it's a Scandinavian living room on wheels that, with its luxurious interior and top-notch technology, turns every trip into an unforgettable experience. Designed specifically for the Chinese market, the EM90 opens a new chapter in the segment of luxury MPVs - family vans.
The new Volvo EM90 responds to the growing demand for MPVs in Asia. As Volvo's first model of its kind, the EM90 combines heritage and leadership in safety with the exciting new electric MPV segment. The 1953 Volvo Duett, celebrating its 70th anniversary, served as the inspiration for the EM90. Known for its versatility and popularity among families and business owners, the Duett has combined practicality and spaciousness, which is also reflected in the EM90.
Exterior appearance and interior luxury
Volvo EM90, which measures in length 5,209 mm (205 in.), 2,024 mm (79.7 in.) wide and 1,867 mm (73.5 in.) tall, offers a spacious and comfortable interior designed as Penthouse, with massaging second-row captain's seats and premium materials. It is equipped with five screens, including a 15.4-inch (39.1 cm) dashboard screen and a 15.6-inch (39.6 cm) ceiling-mounted screen. It is therefore a reflection of the luxury demanded by Chinese buyers in this segment.
Electric drive and range
Volvo EM90 is equipped with a single 268 hp (200 kW) electric motor on the rear axle, which enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) v 8.3 seconds. All based on the platform Geely Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA), the EM90 is likely based on the MPV ZEEKR 009. This platform allows a choice of two battery variants: 116 kWh with a range of 436 miles (700 km) or 140 kWh with a range of up to 510 miles (822 km), with the option of charging from 10 to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes with DC direct current.
Price and availability
The EM90, priced at around $114,000, is already available for pre-order in China. For now, there are no plans to launch in Western markets.
Conclusion
The Volvo EM90 is not just a minivan; is a transformation of the perception of driving. With an innovative approach, impressive technology and a luxurious interior, the EM90 opens up new possibilities in the world of electric vehicles. This is a vehicle that not only expands the range of the Volvo brand, but also meets the various needs of modern customers. The Volvo EM90 represents an important step in the brand's journey towards sustainable mobility and is designed to improve the quality of life and travel. Designed with the Chinese market in mind, the Volvo EM90 is priced around $114,000, making it among luxury electric minivans. In this market, it will go head-to-head with competitors such as the Lexus LM and Buick GL8, which are also targeting the premium MPV segment. However, there are currently no plans to introduce the EM90 to European markets. This decision can partly be attributed to specific market demands and preferences in Europe, where SUVs and smaller cars are more popular, while demand for luxury minivan models is growing in Asia.
