A Swedish automaker has released a fresh image of its EM90 electric minivan, signaling a bold step forward for Volvo in the electric family vehicle segment.
The production model is expected to sport distinctive front lighting branded as the “Thor’s hammer” and a prominently illuminated Volvo emblem. While the full specifications remain under wraps, industry chatter points to a platform alignment with SEA1, the same architectural base used by the Zeekr 009 developed in China. Rumors also suggest Volvo may equip the EM90 with a high-performance powertrain around 544 horsepower and a substantial 140 kWh battery pack, aiming for an estimated range near 800 kilometers on a single charge. Performance could include a sprint to 100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds, underscoring Volvo’s ambition to blend luxury, efficiency, and brisk acceleration in a single, family-friendly package.
The timetable places the EM90’s market introduction in China on November 12, marking Volvo’s first foray into the minivan category in the brand’s history—an important milestone for the automaker as it expands its global electrified lineup.
Meanwhile, a separate trend in the market shows the Haval Jolion crossover entering a new Elite Plus configuration in Russia, expanding its appeal with front-wheel-drive practicality. This development highlights the continued churn and diversification in the European and Eurasian regions as brands push new trims and feature sets to attract buyers seeking value without sacrificing modern tech and comfort.
