## Design and Features The GV90 will be available in standard and more luxurious Neolun versions.

The power comes from two electric motors, with the front motor producing 240 kW and 350 Nm, and the rear motor developing 250 kW and 450 Nm. The combined output stands at 490 kW and 800 Nm, with power going to all four wheels.
