Nearly a decade after its debut at the North American International Auto Show in 2016, the Volvo S90 has now received its second facelift. Unlike the first facelift announced in 2020, the latest one is a lot more comprehensive and serves to provide customers with an alternative if they want a large Volvo sedan but are not willing to go fully electric with the ES90.
We start with the exterior, which has been refreshed with clear inspiration from the current XC90. At the front, you’ll notice the Thor’s Hammer matrix LED headlamps have a more pronounced T shape for the DRLs. These meet with a wider grille that now sports overlapping diagonal lines for its insert.
Further down, there is a wider central air intake and the corner inlets have been reshaped and oriented vertically. Unlike the SUV, the new S90 gets revised taillights that have a light signature mimicking the T shape DRLs at the front. Volvo also notes two new metallic colours called Aurora Silver and Mulberry Red, while new diamond-cut alloy wheels have been added to the catalogue.
On the inside, the new S90 adopts the XC90’s redesigned dashboard that has a larger 11.2-inch central infotainment touchscreen that sticks out rather than being flush previously. This comes with the brand’s new-generation user interface announced back in January this year. The sedan also gains enhanced sound insulation, with adaptive suspension being equipped as standard to make it “more comfortable than ever.”
Powertrain details are limited for now, but the company says the S90 will be available as a plug-in hybrid with an electric-only range of up to 80 km following the WLTP standard. A mild hybrid version featuring a turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and front-wheel drive will also be offered.
“The S90 is a key part of our product portfolio for the coming years in some of our Asian markets. Together with the new fully electric ES90, the new S90 ensures we have a complete and attractive offering for customers who value safety and want to drive a large, sleek Volvo sedan,” said Erik Severinson, chief product and strategy officer at Volvo Cars.
The facelifted S90 will launch first in China this summer, with other markets set to follow.

sweet looking thing. refreshingly clean, simple. Conservative design still has a place in 2025. The rear looks ordinary now (like a mid 2000s car) but still better than pre-facelift imo.
Why mild hybrid n PHEV, Volvo is going to wrong direction, the management should be sacked…pls learn from Toyota n Honda hybrid which sell so well
Talking rubbish
Honda and Toyota had the worst EV in the market
Plz Honda and Toyota plz learn how to make desirable EV from China like Zeekr , leap motor and BYD including From Volvo and BMW.
Toyota and Honda will soon be the new Kodak in the making going in the wrong direction with hybrids only
Soon 25% Tariff in USA will dent Honda and Toyota sales for 3 years
Toyota and Honda sales in China are basically DEAD in the world biggest market.
Even Thailand and Indonesia Toyota and Honda are having sales declined year after year.
Wake up call. for Toyota and Honda to. have better EV .
Like the refreshed XC90 Volvo is still selling the same car they’ve been selling since like 2018, same as Mazda and their CX-5 lmao.
