Onvo has officially announced pricing for its new flagship SUV, the L90, targeting the growing demand for spacious family vehicles in China. The L90 represents the latest addition to Nio’s Onvo sub-brand, which focuses on producing more affordable, entry-level models compared to Nio’s premium lineup. Customers can choose between six- or seven-seat layouts, and there’s also an option to significantly reduce the initial purchase price through Nio’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) subscription program.
Every L90 variant is powered by an 85 kWh battery pack supported by a 900-volt electrical platform. In the six-seat configuration, the Pro trim begins at about $37,200, while the Max version starts from around $38,900. Opting for BaaS lowers these figures dramatically to approximately $25,000 for the Pro and $26,900 for the Max, though buyers will need to pay a monthly fee of $125 for the battery rental.
Even factoring in the subscription cost, the L90’s pricing is competitive. Its starting point under the BaaS plan comes in below that of a base Honda Civic Sedan in the United States, which begins at $25,745 including destination charges. It is also cheaper than the Civic Hatchback, priced from $27,795 before fees, and considerably more affordable than Europe’s hybrid-only Civic model, starting at around $45,650.
For customers who want a more premium experience, the six-seat Ultra trim is available from $41,700, or $29,700 under the battery subscription plan. The seven-seat lineup mirrors the same structure: the Pro begins at $25,800, the Max at $27,800, and the Ultra again at $29,700 when paired with BaaS. While the naming conventions may echo those used by tech brands like Apple, Onvo maintains that this is purely coincidental. When compared with competitors such as the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9, the L90’s pricing positions it as a strong value option in the three-row electric SUV market.
Performance-wise, the Pro and Max trims feature a single rear-mounted electric motor delivering 456 horsepower. Ultra models—both six- and seven-seat—add an additional 134-hp motor on the front axle, boosting total output to 590 hp. Rear-wheel-drive versions can sprint from 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, while the all-wheel-drive Ultras cut that time to just 4.7 seconds.
Inside, the L90 emphasizes technology and passenger comfort. The cabin is anchored by a 17.2-inch central infotainment display, complemented by a ceiling-mounted 17.3-inch screen for second-row passengers. Rear occupants also get an 8-inch control screen, and the driver benefits from a wide 35-inch head-up display. All trims include a 23-speaker premium sound system and an integrated 8.86-liter refrigerator, highlighting the SUV’s family-friendly focus. Currently, there is no official word on whether the Onvo L90 will launch in markets beyond China.
