Volvo was founded in 1927 with a singular vision: safety first. That commitment began with the very first car off the assembly line, the Volvo OV 4, and has remained the cornerstone of the brand ever since. Fast-forward to 1997, the original Volvo S90 - along with its wagon sibling, the V90 - emerged as rebadged and refined successors to the 960 series. These models preserved Volvo's legacy of robust engineering and advanced occupant protection systems, appealing to drivers who valued security as much as luxury.
After a long hiatus from the full-size luxury sedan segment, Volvo reintroduced the S90 in 2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden. This new model didn’t just revive a name - it redefined the company’s direction. With a bold Scandinavian design language, clean lines, and signature Thor’s Hammer LED daytime running lights, the S90 marked a sophisticated return to form. But the luxury wasn’t skin deep. Volvo outfitted the sedan with cutting-edge innovations, including cloud-connected services and the brand’s semi-autonomous Pilot Assist technology, which could keep the vehicle centered in its lane at speeds up to 130 km/h - no lead vehicle required.
Safety remained paramount with the City Safety suite, now upgraded to detect large animals in addition to pedestrians and cyclists, applying the brakes automatically in critical situations. Under the hood, Volvo offered a modern engine lineup featuring the T6, D4, and D5 units, along with the advanced T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid system, combining performance with low emissions.
In 2020, Volvo unveiled a facelifted S90 that carried subtle exterior upgrades - revised front and rear bumpers, sleeker fog lights, and new LED taillights with a distinctive signature. More importantly, the refreshed model introduced a mild-hybrid system across all engines, reinforcing Volvo's pledge to electrify its entire lineup and enhance fuel efficiency.
While many anticipated a full redesign for the 2025 model year, Volvo instead released a heavily updated version of the S90 rather than a complete overhaul. Market conditions - including the global pandemic - forced the Swedish automaker to adapt its roadmap. Despite the challenges, Volvo achieved over 763,000 global sales in 2024, with the S90 continuing to represent a blend of serenity, sophistication, and smart mobility.
