Volvo presented the EM90 minivan, which opened a new market segment for the Swedish brand. There were no surprises: as expected, the Volvo EM90 is a redesigned Chinese minivan Zeekr 009. Only more expensive.
The Swedish Volvo EM90 and the Chinese Zeekr 009 have the same body – the differences in appearance come down to different optics and attachments. The models will even be assembled in the same Geely factory.
But their power plants are different: for the EM90 only an electric motor on the rear axle with a power of 272 hp is announced. At the same time, the 009 has a twin-engine installation with 544 hp, and the result is clear: the Swedish minivan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, the Chinese – almost twice as fast, in 4.5 seconds. .
The Volvo gets a 116 kWh battery, although the Zeekr still has a 140 kWh option available. At the same time, the Volvo EM90 promises a power reserve of 738 kilometers versus 822 km for the Zeekr 009 – according to the CLTC cycle.
The Swedish minivan received a rich package with a large panoramic roof, a digital dashboard, Bowers & Wilkins music, an active noise reduction system, a two-chamber air suspension, a 15.6-inch screen, separate seats in the second row with massage, ventilation , heating and extendable tables, as well as other options.
The manufacturer calls Asian countries the most important market for the EM90, but Volvo is also considering the US and Europe in the future. In the Chinese market, the new product costs 818,000 yuan – $ 112,000, and this is more than one and a half times more expensive than the more powerful and faster Zeekr 009, prices of which start from 499,000 yuan for the basic version and go up to 588,000 yuan. yuan for the top version ($68,000 – $80,000).
