Spacious Design and Clever Features


The Onvo L90 positions itself impressively against its Korean rivals, boasting slightly larger dimensions. It comfortably seats six passengers across three rows, showcasing its practicality at Auto Shanghai 2025. You can fit seven 20-inch suitcases behind the third row, while the remarkable 8.5-cubic-foot frunk can accommodate two more rollaboards and a child's suitcase, all thanks to a compact cooling system designed by Nio.

Frunk Innovation


With a wide 32.7-inch opening just 23.6 inches off the ground, the frunk is not only easily accessible but also transforms into a comfy perch with an optional seat-cushion accessory.

Power and Performance


The Onvo L90 comes with options for rear- and all-wheel drive. The rear motor delivers an impressive 456 hp, while the AWD model ups the game with 590 hp, effortlessly outpacing Kia’s top-performing EV9.

Comfortable Ride


Equipped with air suspension, possibly adapted from the Nio ET9, the Onvo L90 promises a smooth ride, supported by front control arms and a rear multilink setup.

Battery Flexibility


Initially launching with an 85-kWh battery, Onvo might later introduce 100- and 60-kWh variants. Leveraging a robust 900-volt system and Nio’s extensive battery swap network, drivers have the flexibility to quickly exchange batteries and adjust capacity according to their needs.

Distinctive Design


The L90’s design, though more understated, reflects its Nio and Onvo lineage, highlighted by a unique "Star Path Illumination" headlight system with customizable patterns and animations. It confidently stands on standard 21-inch wheels that fill its wheel wells.

Launch Details and Pricing


Anticipated to arrive in China by Q3 2025, the Onvo L90 may start at around $37,000 for a standard-range RWD model, potentially offering the luxury at half the cost of a Kia EV9 GT-Line.

Summary


The Onvo L90 is set to deliver a spacious, powerful, and cleverly designed EV at exceptional value, poised to redefine affordable luxury in the Chinese market.
