Chronology
PredecessorVolvo S80 II

The Volvo S90 is an executive sedan manufactured and marketed by Swedish automaker Volvo Cars since 2016.[11] Its estate variant is called the Volvo V90.[12]

Models

[edit]

For the model year of 2017 (the first model year), a short and long wheelbase sedan as well as an estate model were made available. For 2017, the short wheelbase model was sold in North America and Europe, while the long wheelbase model was primarily sold in China. Volvo has hinted at possible coupe variants, but not until at least 2020 as the Polestar 1.[13]

S90

[edit]

Before its reveal, the first official pictures of the S90 were shown on Wednesday, 2 December 2015. The S90 was unveiled to the public in January 2016, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The S90's design was well received, winning the Production Car Design of the Year award for 2015.[14]

While not a direct successor to the second-generation S80, the S90 replaces it as the flagship sedan in Volvo's lineup. Several trim levels are available, ranging from Momentum to Inscription. In July 2016, an optional, cosmetic R-Design package was announced. A long wheelbase version was announced for availability in the United States.[15] A mild hybrid version was offered in 2020.[16] In 2023, Volvo removed conventional engines as an option, meaning mild hybrids are the base engine option in the US.[17]

For the 2022 model year in the United Kingdom, the range was limited to the S90 Recharge, a mild-hybrid sedan. The S90 Recharge was limited to Plus and Ultimate trim levels with the T8 AWD mild-hybrid engine, a 2.0-litre 455-horsepower (339 kW; 461 PS) 4-cylinder available with all-wheel-drive only.[18]

S90 Long Wheelbase

[edit]

For the 2017 model year, a long wheelbase version of the S90 was made in China, primarily for that market.[19][20] It is stretched by 12 cm (4.7 in) behind the B pillar.[21] This initial Chinese variant was not badged as "S90L".[22][23]

For the 2018 model year onwards, the long wheelbase S90 replaced the standard wheelbase model in the United States.

Both wheelbases were offered in Europe and the Middle East from the 2018 model year.[24]

For the 2023 model year, an interior facelift of the S90 was made in China market.[25]

Production

[edit]

By mid-2017, the Swedish Torslandaverken Plant no longer produced the S90. Production and assembly has mainly moved to the Chinese Daqing plant. It is also locally assembled (CKD) in Volvo Car Manufacturing Malaysia in Shah Alam, Malaysia and Volvo Trucks Bengaluru plant in India.

Facelift

[edit]

In February 2020, the official photos of refreshed S90 were leaked along with the refreshed V90. The taillights now have sequential LED indicators & Inscription variants get chrome garnish on the front bumper.[26]

Replacement

[edit]

ES90

[edit]

In December 2023, Volvo launched pre-production of the ES90 electric version (codenamed V551) in China.[27][28]

Engines

[edit]

The S90 is only available with 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines from the VEA family (Drive-E). The more powerful petrol engines are compound charged, as is the plug-in hybrid variant called the T8.[29] The D5 diesel engine features Volvo's new[30] PowerPulse[31] technology that is designed to eliminate turbo lag, as well as an i Art injection system.[32]
