S90

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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A mild hybrid version was offered in 2020.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2023, Volvo removed conventional engines as an option, meaning mild hybrids are the base engine option in the US.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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 Template:Convert 4-cylinder available with all-wheel-drive only.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

S90 Long Wheelbase

For the 2017 model year, a long wheelbase version of the S90 was made in China, primarily for that market.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It is stretched by Template:Cvt behind the B pillar.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> This initial Chinese variant was not badged as "S90L".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Production

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. Production ended in late 2024, with 2025 being the last model year.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

First facelift

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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Second facelift

The second facelift of the S90 was introduced on April 17, 2025. It has been given the same front end as the 2024 XC90 facelift, and a new 11.2-inch infortaiment screen.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

However, the Volvo S90 did not receive this second facelift in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe as it was discontinued in those markets due to poor sales and US President Donald Trump's new tariffs on Chinese-built vehicles, as the Volvo S90 for these markets was solely manufactured in China. Despite this, the S90 will continue to be sold in other markets (mainly in The Middle East, China, and several other Asian countries) where it will receive the second facelift.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>https://www.motor1.com/news/756248/volvo-s90-dead-in-the-us/</ref>

Replacement

In December 2023, Volvo revealed that the pre-production models of the electric successor to the S90, codenamed V551 and rumored to be named the ES90, had started testing in China. It is based on the same SPA2 platform used by the EX90, and uses the same 111Template:NbspkWh battery pack.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Engines

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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The D5 diesel engine features Volvo's new<ref name="volvocars">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> PowerPulse<ref name="carthrottle">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> technology that is designed to eliminate turbo lag, as well as an i Art injection system.<ref name="volvocars2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
