The new all-electric Volvo EM90 – a premium MPV for ultimate comfort
The much-anticipated Volvo EM90 has been unveiled yesterday. It’s a fully electric premium MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) designed for comfort and versatility. As part of Volvo's commitment to full electrification by 2030, the EM90 is the latest addition to their expanding model portfolio. With the MPV segment gaining popularity, especially in Asia, Volvo is launching the EM90 in China, the largest car market globally. While the MPV segment is new for Volvo, their 70-year heritage includes a versatile and spacious car called the Volvo Duett. This classic car, still sought after by collectors, inspired Volvo's renowned range of estates and influenced the design of the EM90. Besides the EM90 showcases Volvo's innovation and ability to meet market demands. Alongside the already acclaimed EX30 small SUV, the EM90 expands Volvo's reach and enhances their presence in the global automotive market.
