New 2026 Volvo S90 looks great – but if you can read this, you probably can’t have one
Volvo Cars has unveiled the 2026 S90 plug-in hybrid, touted as the most elegant and comfortable model yet, with nearly 50 miles of all-electric range and advanced technology. However, it will not be available in the US, Canada, or the UK, focusing instead on Asian markets. Erik Severinson, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, emphasized the S90's importance in their product lineup alongside the new fully electric ES90, catering to customers who prioritize safety and luxury in a large sedan.
Volvo Cars took the wraps off new-for-2026 S90 plug-in hybrid, calling the big sedan the most elegant and comfortable 90 yet, promising nearly 50 miles (80 km) of all-electric range and a comprehensive suite of high-end technology and design updates … but if you’re reading this in English, you probably can’t have one.
The updated Volvo S90 is still blinking into the spotlight, but there are already reports that Volvo Cars has decided against bringing the slick new sedan to the US. And Canada. And the UK. And … you get the idea.
That’s too bad, too –because the SPA S90 has always been a comfortable and capable performer. Alas, sedans aren’t selling, you could get whiplash trying to keep track of all the tariff news these days, and Volvo (like a lot of companies in 2025, frankly), no longer needs the English-speaking world to keep it profitable.
“The S90 is a key part of our product portfolio for the coming years in some of our Asian markets,” says Erik Severinson, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Volvo Cars. “Together with the new fully electric ES90, the new S90 ensures we have a complete and attractive offering for customers who value safety and want to drive a large, sleek Volvo sedan.”
