Volvo S90 possibly revealed via scale model photo

This could be what the new Volvo S90 looks like, revealed in the form of photos of a scale model posted to a Chinese website. The S90 will be Volvo’s flagship sedan, replacing the aging Volvo S80 in the Swedish company’s line-up.

Styling is influenced by previous concepts like the Volvo Concept Coupe. You can see a common family face with the new XC90, down to the now signature “Thor’s hammer” daytime running lights integrated into the S90’s headlamps.

We have mixed feelings about the rear though – those tail lamps look huge. They’re C-shaped like the XC90 without the bits going up on the D pillars because there’s no D pillars on a sedan, but the XC90’s tail lamps look better, being more of a slimmer C shape flanking the rear hatch’s sheet metal.

The new S90 will be based on the sale Scalable Product Architecture platform as the XC90, and will share the same engine range which consists of 2.0 litre four cylinder engines in different states of tune, topped by a hybrid T8.

    Very nice, like it.The fastback on the concept car finally made it into the S90 I see although the back license plate housing at the bumper level leaves a lot to be desired. I suppose they are trying to emulate the XJ (X351). It is a pitty on Malaysian take on Volvo though which unfortunately hurts their resale value as their Scandinavian designs are pretty cool and minimalistic and the array of safety gadgets offered especially in Malaysia is outstanding . Very sad but alas I will not be upgrading to this unfortunately. As much as My love and heart for the design but my wallet can’t take the massive depreciation anymore especially with a kid on the way. Hence I will be moving to a Merc which iwill be something more popular with Malaysians. However I hope my owning 6 different Volvos from brand new can support my small contribution to the brand. I would definitely say if I was living in Europe, Canada or US I would buy this car in a heart beat.
    Good luck and best wishes Volvo!

    The tail lights look…menacing. Judging by the quality I see in the new XC90 this S90 will be a stunner.
