Volvo S90 Teaser Campaign Begins Ahead Of Detroit Debut

January’s Detroit Auto Show will be the venue for the official unveiling of Volvo’s large S90 sedan.

To tide you over until then, Volvo has offered a pair of dark and moody teaser shots, highlighting the new sedan’s Scandinavian-inspired design.

Like the XC90 SUV, with which the S90 shares its Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, the new sedan will offer simpler forms featuring more taut body-side surfacing and square-set head and tail lights.

Compared to the S80 it replaces, the new vehicle features a more gently tapered roofline, and a ‘six-window’ glasshouse, pulling the proportions rearward.

The blurred rear shot shows the two-tier LED tail lights that extend into the bootlid, adding to the impression of width.
