Volvo S90 FAQs

• Is the Volvo S90 a luxury car?

  While you might not be able to find it in the showrooms any more, the S90 established itself as an upmarket car that boasted all the comfort, amenity and elegance that is par the course in a luxury car. What's more, rather than the German personality infused in the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, the S90 brings a fresh lease of life and offers lots of flair. On top of that, you have serenity, power and dynamic handling, something that stand up to the highest levels.

• Is the Volvo S90 made in China?

  Like the XC60, Volvo has taken to China to manufacture the S90 in scale. The latter is made at the company's assembly plant in Daqing, while the XC60 is produced from its facility in Chengdu. These models are also produced in the country's home market of Sweden, but for its efforts in China, Volvo became the first Western auto-maker to export Chinese-made premium cars to the United States.

• Is the Volvo S90 being discontinued?

  While it was considered the gem in the Volvo line-up, the S90 is no longer sold in Australia. To be fair, this was a low-volume unit, with sluggish sales contributing to its demise, as well as the gravitation towards SUVs instead of sedans. Nonetheless, the XC90 is Volvo's SUV-inspired replacement, or if you truly favour a sedan, the slightly smaller S60 is still available for local new car buyers.
