In today’s fast-paced world, finding time and space for life itself can be a challenge.
With the new, fully electric Volvo EM90 premium MPV, the goal is to create a space for living. It’s designed to be a place where you can connect, think, or simply relax; a space to spend time with loved ones, find peace of mind, and enrich your life.
The EM90 offers a premium experience that goes beyond the traditional expectations of a Volvo car. It incorporates iconic Scandinavian design, 96 years of safety heritage, ultimate comfort, and cutting-edge technology.
“It’s an age-old cliché, but there really is no place like home,” said Jim Rowan, Chief Executive of Volvo Cars. “A place to connect with your loved ones, to truly be yourself. It’s this feeling of home that inspired our new EM90, a car with room for life.”
A confident exterior with an illuminating grille
The EM90 aims to set a new standard of style in the MPV segment. Inside, it serves as your living room on the move, providing ultimate comfort and a premium experience. It incorporates Scandinavian design details that enhance the overall experience. Further details about the interior design of the EM90 can be found in this blog post.
On the exterior, the EM90 makes a grand appearance with instantly recognizable and iconic Thor’s Hammer headlights at the front. The headlights, along with an illuminated logo, create a proud and confident face for the Volvo car. The design is inspired by skyscrapers and cutting-edge immersive art, exuding high-tech, crafted precision.
At the rear, a lit-up wordmark and stylish rear light design make the EM90 stand out. The iconic Volvo vertical tail-lamps have also been evolved, drawing inspiration from the skyline of modern cities. The tail-lamp signatures extend both upward and downward, with the metal strip representing the core horizon line.
The EM90 is available in four exterior colors, inspired by the interplay between nature and light.
Competitive range and bi-directional charging
As a fully electric car, the EM90 offers a range of up to 738 kilometers under the CLTC testing cycle. It features a 116 kWh battery and an expected charging time from 10 to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes. The EM90 is powered by an e-motor with a 200kW power output, enabling an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds.
Similar to the EX90 flagship SUV, the EM90 is equipped for bi-directional charging, allowing the use of its battery as a power bank to charge other electric cars and appliances.
The EM90 comes with 19- or 20-inch aero wheels, combining engineering artistry with aero efficiency to optimize driving range.
In terms of safety features, the EM90 incorporates safe space technology designed to protect everyone in and around the car. It integrates 96 years of safety DNA and extensive knowledge based on real-world accident research into a new segment. More about the safety features in the EM90 can be found in this blog post.
An outstanding experience
Additional comfort comes through top-notch sound isolation and road noise cancellation technology, while dual-chamber air suspension and silent tires further improve the ride experience for everyone in the EM90.
All these features work together to minimize road noise, allowing for the optimum sound quality from a total of 21 Bowers & Wilkins speakers embedded in your own private concert hall on the move.
The EM90 offers cutting-edge technology designed to make life easier and more enjoyable, such as the Snapdragon® Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies and 5G connectivity where available.
The car includes a voice assistant visualized in a refreshed Volvo avatar inside a 15.4-inch infotainment screen for the driver. Additionally, there is a high-definition 15.6-inch roof-mounted screen that folds down whenever entertainment or a business video meeting is desired. This screen also supports mobile screen projection and various third-party apps.
The multi-functional set of screens and smart surfaces in the EM90 enables a variety of in-cabin scenarios, allowing for easy transformation of the interior into a theater, meeting room, or bedroom for the rear seats with the flick of a switch or a command to the voice assistant, adjusting screens, seats, windows, air conditioner, and lighting accordingly.
Like all new Volvo cars, the EM90 will receive over-the-air software updates, providing continuous improvement over time. A digital key and remote functions via the Volvo Cars app offer easy access and control of the car.
“The Volvo EM90 is a supremely comfortable electric car with a smart cabin, fast charging, a competitive driving range, Volvo’s unique design language, and a high level of premium in every detail,” said Jim Rowan. “But far more important is what it does for you. It gives you room to connect. Room to create. Room to relax. Room for you and for those around you.”
The Volvo EM90 will first be available in China and is now open for pre-orders for customers in China.
