2016 Volvo V90 leaked ahead of unveil

 

 

Images of the new Volvo V90 wagon have been leaked on the internet ahead of the car’s public reveal at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

 

This isn't the first set of images to be leaked. Pictures of a scale model was seen late last year, and the rear of the car was also spotted undisguised in a Swedish garage this year. The new Volvo V90 is based on the recently launched S90 sedan, and the leaked images reveal just how closely its styling matches that of the sedan.

 

While the front end of the new V90 is identical to the S90's, the car also appears to have taken inspiration from the Volvo Concept Estate which was revealed at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, particularly in the design of its tail-lights. No images of the interior have been released so far, but it is expected to mirror that of the S90.

 

To be built on Volvo’s SPA platform, the V90 will likely be powered by the same range of powertrains as the XC90, including the 394bhp T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid and the D4 and D5 diesel engines.

 

Volvo has not yet confirmed an official launch date, but international markets could get access to the model later this year.

 

When launched, the V90 will rival the likes of the BMW 5-series Touring, the Jaguar XF Sportbrake, the Mercedes-Benz E-class Estate and the next-generation Audi A6 Avant.
