Volvo<\/a> will show the world the updated XC90<\/a> crossover on what the company is calling “90\/90” day, which to the rest of us is simply September 4th. The day will also “mark a big moment in the launch of the EX90<\/a>,” which accounts for the second “90.” But what’s far more interesting was the cryptic teaser Volvo tacked onto the end of its announcement, suggesting that “there might be a surprise or two \u2026” in store for us too. Well, then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement was accompanied by an equally cryptic teaser image that appears to depict the hoods of the EX90 (top\/right) and XC90 (bottom\/left). There’s not much to see here apart from the differentiating hood creases and some details in the headlights. From what we can make out, the updated XC90 will have a different take on the “Thor’s Hammer” LED signature. Anything else is merely speculation.\u00a0While Volvo hasn’t officially put a sunset date on the XC90, we expect this will be the last major update before it is put out to pasture in favor of its all-electric sibling. The writing has been on the wall since Volvo originally unveiled the EX90 in 2022<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for Volvo’s surprises? We’re not really sure what to expect. With the EX30 launch dragging on<\/a> much longer than expected, Volvo is unlikely to be in a position to announce any major new product introductions for the U.S. market. We can’t rule out the possibility of some Polestar<\/a> Engineered variants of existing models; Volvo has already demonstrated a willingness to offer them on crossovers<\/a>, so why stop now? In any event, we’ve only about a week to wait. Plus, you’ll be able to watch the whole thing live on Volvo’s 90\/90 Day microsite<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
