Ahead of Volvo’s planned reveal of its all-new Volvo V90 on February 18, leaked studio images of the estate have found their way onto the internet thanks to Swedish site Teknikens Varld. The same site is responsible for revealing live images of the estate earlier as well.
As you can tell, the estate shares much in common with the S90 from several weeks ago, with a large majority of its front-end derived from the sedan. The rear-end however, is inspired mainly by Volvo’s Concept Estate from 2014. On a separate note, the car seen here is nigh identical in terms of looks to the scaled models from China, which were leaked previously.
Here, the V90 gets the same-design headlights as the S90, with the same “Thor’s Hammer” LED daytime running lights. The rear tail lights also remain faithful to the ones on the concept. Put together, you get a very handsome-looking estate that replaces the previous V70.
Under that enticing skin, the V90 rides on the same Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) that was first employed on the all-new XC90 and later on the S90. The “T6” badge at the rear also confirms Volvo’s latest range of 2.0 litre four-cylinder Drive-E petrol engines will be offered like the S90, likely including the plug-in hybrid Twin Engine T8 mill. Diesel options should include the D5 and D4 engines.

They nailed the rear end design, tail lights look really good and looking at the side profile it looks really long too.
Should be rather long, since it’s based on S90 that shares a modular architecture with XC90. XC90 is about 4950mm where as S-class is 5029, only a few inch difference. So the question remains will they extrude the car just slightly to compete with the S-class. Since the current S60 is also only slightly shorter than an E-class.
Either way this will be a Full-sized luxury wagon, so I’m expecting it to be long and expensive, and I’m also predicting they will be able to sell less than 5 of this annually. It’s a Malaysian thing I guess? Not much interest in estates especially a luxury estate. And those who commits over the internet falls short on the money end.
Wait up… I’m changing my prediction now to – they will not bring this into Malaysia. Because those who can afford and wants it can get it off the grey-market. So less hassle for Volvo Malaysia, because they wouldn’t be able to cover the cost of stocking up their SC with the sales of this car.I guess it’s the same reason why MB and Audi doesn’t offer estate versions of their cars here as well.
Now I wonder how much will it be on the grey-market in 2019? Hmm… Much Hmm…
Grey market ? since when Volvo got grey market in Malaysia ??? so far only little few of those personal expatriate or student AP had brought back from oversea..
very nice! the rear design is an improvement over the sedan.
now this is more like it..the rear of the sedan just look freaking weird..
Volvo makes sexy estate. Period. They still have female lead designer, right?
This. Is. The wagon of the future.
Was expecting more from the brand after various concepts a couple of years back. Volvo seem to have gone a bit Audi dull looking recently. What’s to entice buyers away from the Germans?
