Crafted with a “Scandinavian living room” interior concept, the EM90 boasts premium lounge seating with integrated features such as rear cupholders, massage functions, and a fold-out table reminiscent of upscale movie theaters.

Equipped with smart storage solutions and advanced software, including Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm, the EM90 offers a seamless blend of functionality and technology. Powered by Geely’s SEA platform, the minivan delivers impressive performance with a 200 kW electric motor and a 116 kW battery, providing up to 458 miles (738 km) of range according to CLTC standards.

Less than three months since its debut, the first EM90 has entered production, marking a significant milestone for Volvo as it embarks on a new chapter in the EV market. The vehicle is initially available in China, priced at 818,000 yuan ($114,000), with deliveries scheduled to commence in March. Details regarding additional market launches are yet to be confirmed by Volvo.
