Volvo's EM90 'living room on the move' minivan has up to 450 miles of EV range

<p><a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/volvo-ex30-first-drive-charming-and-eco-friendly-with-power-to-spare-080039873.html">Volvo[/url] has <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.volvocars.com/intl/news/electrification/a-space-for-living-on-the-move-heres-the-fully-electric-volvo-em90-premium-mpv/" data-original-link="https://www.volvocars.com/intl/news/electrification/a-space-for-living-on-the-move-heres-the-fully-electric-volvo-em90-premium-mpv/">unveiled[/url] its first fully electric minivan, which is geared toward comfort. So much so, the brand describes the EM90 as a "living room on the move." While it might be comfy enough to travel in while wearing PJs, Volvo is pitching the EV as an option for those who want a space where they can get work done too.</p>
<p>The EM90 is infused with sound isolation and road noise cancellation tech, while Volvo claims that dual chamber air suspension and silent tires will offer the driver and passengers a smooth ride. If that works as promised, you'll be able to get the most out of an audio system that has 21 Bowers &amp; Wilkins speakers.</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Along with a 15.4-inch infotainment screen for the driver, there's a roof-mounted 15.6-inch HD display to which you can cast shows and movies from your phone. Attach a compatible camera, and the screen can be used for video calls. 5G connectivity will come in handy for business-minded users too.</p>
<div id="1113d398b0d6436095c5c277d9e6db18"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WWRUrhEbcXc?rel=0" style="top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;border:0;" allowfullscreen scrolling="no" data-embed-domain="www.youtube.com"></iframe></div>
<p>Many of the EM90's functions can be controlled with your voice, including the audio and interior lighting. With a voice command or by flicking a switch, the car's screens, seats, windows, air conditioner and lighting can be adjusted for theater or meeting room use — or even a bedroom setup for the rear seats, Volvo says.</p>
<p>If the EM90 looks familiar, that's because it's based on the 009 from Zeekr, Volvo's sibling brand, as <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:3;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://electrek.co/2023/11/13/volvo-releases-em90-electric-minivan-with-over-450-miles-range/" data-original-link="https://electrek.co/2023/11/13/volvo-releases-em90-electric-minivan-with-over-450-miles-range/">Electrek[/url]&nbsp;points out. It has a 200 kW electric motor that can take it from 0 to 100 kmph (62.1 mph) in 8.3 seconds. The EV has a 116 kWh battery (with bi-directional charging support) that Volvo claims can charge from 10 to 80 percent in under 30 minutes.</p>
<p>On top of all of that, the EM90 has an impressive range, at least on paper. Volvo says it has a range of up to 738 km (459 miles) based on China's CLTC testing cycle. The vehicle will only be available in China at first and it starts at around $114,000. It's unclear if or when the EV will arrive elsewhere.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/volvos-em90-living-room-on-the-move-minivan-has-up-to-450-miles-of-ev-range-164051908.html?src=rss
