Code named 009, the four-wheeler is designed by Stefan Sielaff, ex-Bentley design boss, at Geely’s new global design centre in Gothenburg, Sweden. Though Volvo did not confirm, the EM90 was likely designed parallel with the Zeekr.
The Volvo EM90 will likely use the same powertrain as the 009. It will have a 140 kWh battery pack powering a dual-electric motor setup making a combined 543 bhp of peak power. The 009 has a claimed range of 817 km, expect Volvo to claim a similar as well.
