Volvo Cars have finally dropped two teasers of the Volvo S80’s successor, which will be called the Volvo S90 before its full unveiling at the 2016 Detroit Motor Show in January.. It is the second vehicle to feature Volvo’s latest styling, first being the 2015 Volvo XC90. The model has been designed to rival the likes of the Mercedes Benz E-Class.

The first teaser reveals the upper section of the side profile, which showcases the chrome window bezel, shoulder line, the LED headlamps with Thor Hammer DRLs, and LED taillights. The design is in line with that of the leaked 1:43 scale models of the Volvo S90. It’s an evolutionary step up from the Volvo S80, and is expected to mirror the premium quotient exuded by the 2015 XC90.
The second teaser on the contrary, gives a closer look at the tail lamp design, which features LED lighting inspired by the Volvo Concept Coupe, and it flanks the Volvo nameplate. The boot lid appears to be heavily styled, sporting sculpted features.
The Volvo S90 will be the second product to ride on the modular SPA platform. It features a series of 2.0-liter Drive-E engine with outputs between 190 hp to 400 hp (Twin Engine hybrid) mated to 8-speed Aisin automatic gearbox which might serve as the only transmission option. Standard features include Lane keeping aids, auto-braking at intersections and a raft of other safety measures and as an optional feature the model might come equipped with AWD system.
