At the heart of the Volvo EM90's design is the fully electric powertrain.

This encompasses an advanced suite of driver assistance systems, powered by high-definition cameras, surround view cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and ultrasonic radars, ensuring a high level of safety for both passengers and pedestrians.
The interior of the Volvo EM90 is a testament to Volvo's attention to detail and commitment to passenger comfort. Road noise cancellation technology, dual chamber air suspension, and silent tires work in concert to create a tranquil cabin environment. This serenity is further enhanced by the premium sound system, featuring 21 Bowers & Wilkins speakers, turning the vehicle into a private concert hall on the move.
Digital connectivity is a key aspect of the Volvo EM90, with Snapdragon® Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies providing the computing power. This is complemented by 5G connectivity where available, ensuring that passengers are always connected. The car features a user-friendly voice assistant and a large 15.4-inch infotainment screen for the driver, alongside a 15.6-inch roof-mounted screen for rear passengers, catering to entertainment and business needs alike.
The Volvo EM90 will continue to evolve and improve over time, thanks to Volvo's commitment to over-the-air software updates. This, along with features like the digital key and remote functions via the Volvo Cars app, ensures that the EM90 remains at the cutting edge of automotive technology.
Importantly, the Volvo EM90 is now available for pre-order, initially launching in China. This marks a significant step in Volvo's expansion in the electric vehicle market, offering a new level of luxury and innovation to customers. The option to pre-order the EM90 allows customers to be among the first to experience this new era in Volvo's commitment to sustainable mobility and innovative design.
