in the first half of 2025.

Teaser images reveal a sleek sedan profile, with a steeply raked windscreen and short, liftback-style rear end.

If its anything like the outgoing S90, the ES90 will boast sizeable proportions, with its petrol-powered predecessor measuring 4990mm long, 1945mm wide, and 1547mm tall, while riding atop a 3102mm wheelbase.

SUVs, while also showing the brand isn’t done yet with sedans despite being a niche sales player.

In Australia, where neither the S90 nor its V90 Cross Country sibling have been available since 2019, Volvo’s only sedan is the

. It was the brand’s lowest-selling model last year, with only 152 examples shifted.

Volvo Australia has previously said it’ll add another EV to its lineup in 2025, though it’s yet to confirm if it’ll be the EM90 people mover or the ES90 sedan.

, a pre-production example of the ES90 example was built at Volvo’s Shanghai plant last year, with the demand for sedans in the ******** market likely a key reason why the brand is producing the car at all.

The ES90 will reportedly share the SPA2 architecture of the upcoming

******** government approval documents leaked online in 2022 seemingly confirmed production of the sedan would begin in May 2024, though this has since been and gone.
