沃尔沃计划于今年下半年发布新款旗舰级车型S90，随后将于明年上市。该车将替代S80并将增加V90旅行车版本。S90很多设计元素取自2011年上海车展发布的Concept Universe概念车，同时与新一代XC90共享同一平台和所有引擎。S90顶级款T8 Twin Engine将搭载2.0升四缸机械及涡轮增压汽油引擎和一台后置电机。在XC90上的最大功率为294千瓦/400马力，扭矩640牛米，预计S90也将采用相同布局，搭配高能量电池，车辆在纯电动模式下续航里程为40公里。S90将在大庆投产，由于采用了新开发的SPA平台，预计售价将高于S80。
Volvo S90 flagship sedan extensive details emerge, will be styled after Concept Universe
What Car? has published extensive details concerning Volvo’s upcoming flagship sedan, the S90.
We already know it will replace the aging S80 in the lineup and that it will also spawn a V90 wagon designed after the stunning Concept Estate. The S90 will draw its styling cues from the Concept Universe unveiled back in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show and will ride on the same newly developed platform as the second-gen XC90 from where it will source just about all engines.
Expect the range-topping version to be the T8 Twin Engine which mixes up a four-cylinder 2.0-liter supercharged & turbocharged gasoline engine with a rear-mounted electric motor. In the XC90, this hardware combo grants a combined output of 400 HP (294 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) and chances are the S90 will get an identical setup. The high-voltage battery pack should provide enough juice for an electric range of around 25 miles (40 km).
Set to be built in China, the Volvo S90 will likely be more expensive than the outgoing S80 but it is understandable taking into account it will be literally an all-new model thanks to the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) which will eventually be used on all medium to large Volvos.
The S90 is scheduled to go on sale in 2016 but it will probably be revealed in the second half of this year. Shortly after the sedan’s introduction, the aforementioned V90 wagon will follow and will probably share the same assembly line with the S90 at the Daqing factory in China where they continue to make the first XC90 sold locally with the “XC Classic”
