- The Swedish carmaker Volvo, a subsidiary of the Geely group, has just launched its new large  E-segment estate vehicle, the V90, which is sourced from the recent S90 sedan and replaces the  estate V70 launched in 2007. Almost 700,000 estate V70 (and derivatives XC70) were produced by Volvo in Göteborg (Sweden) between 2007 and 2016. They were produced three times more than the S80 sedans that stemmed from them. Inovev took the same proportion to calculate the number of S90 and V90 produced in the future: 35,000 S90 sedans and 90,000 V90 breaks per year, for a total of 125,000 units produced per year in Gothenburg for the entire range S90 / V90.

- The forecast for the SUV XC90 has also been revised upwards: Inovev now expects 80,000 units per year for  this large SUV, which is very successful in Europe, China and the USA (70,000 sales expected in 2016).

- The S90, V90 and XC90 share many components, including the SPA modular platform and four engines: a petrol engine T6 (4-cylinder 2.0-liter 320hp), a petrol engine T8 (4 cylinders 2.0 l Hybrid 400hp), a diesel engine D4 (4 cylinders of 2.0 l of 190hp) and a diesel engine D5 (4 cylinders of 2.0 l of 225ch). There is no engine with higher displacement on the whole of this range, because Volvo now favors the downsizing on all its models.

- The V90 estate competes with Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6.
