S90
Before its reveal, the first official pictures of the S90 were revealed 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.
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 and will be available in the United States.

Two months after the introduction of the sedan model, the V90 was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016.

V90 Cross-Country
Previewed before the 2016 Paris motor show, the V90 Cross-Country is a raised height, AWD version of the V90 designed for use on rough terrain, unsealed roads and for light off-road usage.

The S90 and V90 are only available with 2.0-litre, 4 cylinder petrol and diesel engines from the VEA family (DRIVe). The more powerful petrol engines are compound charged, as is the plug-in hybrid variant called the T8.
