Volvo officially unveiled its first electric minivan, the EM90, this weekend. Instead of just getting from point A to point B, Volvo designed the EM90 to make you feel at home no matter where the road takes you.
Regardless, Volvo’s electric MPV has made its debut. The Swedish automaker has teased the “Scandinavian show” of the EM90, which is designed to maximise the time spent in the car.
“It’s an old cliché, but there’s no better place than home,” Volvo CEO Jim Rowan said after unveiling the electric van.
The first Volvo EV minivan offers a CTLC diversity of more than 450 miles (738 km). Volvo’s EM90 will be competitive in the competitive Chinese car market. Note that CTLC diversity is China’s incredibly positive diversity estimation tool, which is even more positive than Europe’s already positive WLTP. By comparison, Volvo’s EX90, which will most likely have the same battery in a more aerodynamic package, boasts a diversity of three hundred miles.
Volvo says the EM90 is a flexible option that can be used for family as easily as it can be used for business. The interior is designed for maximum comfort whether you are on a business vacation or a family vacation.
The Volvo EM90 is based on the ZEEKR 009 logo, owned by Geely. Although the models look identical, Volvo has included its signature design touch.
You can see the Scandinavian main points shine, adding their iconic new Thor Hammer headlights. Volvo has also included a new illuminated logo for the first time. Vertical taillights have also evolved, propelled through “the skyline of a trendy city. “
Powered by a 116 kWh battery, it can be recharged from 10 to 80% in less than 30 minutes. Equipped with a two-hundred-kW electric motor, the electric MPV can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8. 3 seconds.
Like its flagship EX90 electric SUV, the EM90 comes with bi-directional charging hardware, allowing it to be used as a mobile power bank. Volvo has also packed its iconic protection features with complex driver assistance systems.
Volvo has included more noise-cancelling technology, a dual-chamber air suspension to maximise peace of mind on the road.
As a “Scandinavian living room on wheels,” the EM90 features long seats and a massive 15. 6-inch infotainment screen.
That price! This would have been the best vehicle for many if it cost less than $70,000. Minivans are designed to have capacity, but you can enjoy some of the excessive luxuries that exclude this thing from the capacity market.
Another 15. 6-inch screen fixed to the ceiling can be folded for entertainment, meetings, and more. With the flip of a switch, the EM90 transforms into a theater, living room, meeting room, or even bedroom.
With OTA updates, the Volvo EM90 will continue to do so over time. In addition, the EM90 features complex computing technology, adding Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit platforms.
The EM90 measures 205 inches (5206 mm) long, inches (2024 mm) wide and 72 inches (1859 mm) tall and will compete with the Mercedes EQV in China.
Volvo has opened pre-orders for the EM90 for consumers in China. Prices start at 818,000 yuan ($114,000). The company claims that the electric SUV “arrives in China first,” without specifying in which other markets it will be launched.
