ONVO L90: THIS IS WHAT $23,000 GETS YOU IN CHINA?

EV Channels Review

The Onvo L90, an electric SUV from NIO's more affordable brand, presents a compelling value proposition, especially with its pre-sale price starting under $34,000, and potentially as low as $23,000 with the Battery-as-a-Service option. While it may lack the "crazy features" or "gimmicks" found in some competitors, the L90 excels in delivering a solid, well-rounded experience. The reviewer highlights its attractive, albeit blunt, styling, class-leading drag coefficient, and a massive 240L frunk. Inside, the cabin boasts premium materials like Napa leather and real wood trim, complemented by a user-friendly 17.2-inch SkyOS infotainment system. The L90 offers comfortable seating across all three rows, with the second row featuring a standout "zero gravity" mode. Driving dynamics are praised, with the adjustable air suspension and optional 4D smart suspension system providing a comfortable ride and surprisingly athletic handling in sport mode. The vehicle's lighter weight compared to rivals also contributes to efficiency and driving dynamics. While the reviewer notes the absence of a power outlet in the frunk and the limited utility of the driver assistance systems on the tested route, the overall verdict is that the L90 is a "very compelling option" for its blend of practicality, comfort, and affordability.
