Inovev foresees a production volume of 35 000 units for the Volvo S90
- The Swedish manufacturer Volvo, a subsidiary of the Chinese Geely group, has launched its new large sedan from segment E, the S90, which replaces the S80 which dates back to 2006. An estate derived from the S90, named the V90, will be launched in a few weeks. The S90, V90 and XC90 will share many components.
- The new Volvo sedan which contributes to the top of the range of the brand with the XC90 launched last year, is a competitor to the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6, and also to a lesser degree for the Jaguar XF and Genesis G80.
- The Volvo S90 uses the modular platform SPA already used by the XC90 SUV. The sedan also uses the engines in this segment E SUV , ie the T6 petrol engine (4-cylinder 2.0 l of 320hp) and T8 (4-cylinder 2.0 l hybrid of 400hp) and the diesel engines D4 (4-cylinder 2.0 l 190hp) and D5 (4-cylinder 2.0 liter 225hp). Please note that Volvo has gradually abandoned its 5 and 6 cylinder engines (they still exist temporarily on the S60 / V60 and XC60) now focusing on downsizing (smaller engines with turbochargers).
- The Volvo S90 (as the V90 estate and the XC90 SUV) is manufactured on the Swedish site of the brand, located in Gothenburg. It is likely that these models are also to be produced in China in the near future. Volvo has in fact in this country plants that are largely underutilized, built by its Chinese owner Geely. In the more distant future, these models could also be produced in the US in the future Volvo plant whose opening is scheduled for 2018.
- Inovev foresees a production volume of nearly 35 000 units per year for this model from 2016.
