From 2017 the S90 served as Volvo's flagship sedan here, sold in T5, D5 and later mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid forms. It was dropped locally around 2024 as Volvo SA pivoted to SUVs and EVs, with the electric ES90 taking its slot. Heavy depreciation means used buyers get a lot of car for the money.
