Our new fully electric premium MPV, the Volvo EM90, is not just designed to be a comfortable living room on the move, and a car that provides you with room for life with your loved ones. It is also a car that broadens the appeal of Volvo Cars and meets even more customer needs.
I don’t think Zeekr has a exclusive deal with Qilin battery, it’s just a name CATL give for their 3rd Gen CTP battery tech. Zeekr is just the launch customer, a lot of other EV manufacturers are starting to use it in their EV lineup.
Volvo may get away with sacrificing power for comfort, it won’t get away with lower range, as potential buyers do care about range.
I wouldn’t say a 738km CLTC range is particularly compromised, that’s still a range which is well above-average for the segment. They’re just not giving it the crowning-achievement Qilin pack for the moment.
