Volvo Reopens Order Books for V60 and V90 Wagons in the UK

Volvo’s Decision to Bring Back V60 and V90 Wagons

In a surprising turn of events, Volvo has announced the reopening of order books for the V60 and V90 wagons in the UK, starting next month. These models were discontinued in August 2023 due to slow sales, as Volvo shifted its focus to SUVs. However, a recent surge in customer interest for wagons has prompted Volvo to reintroduce these models.

Resurgence of Estate Cars

Volvo cited a resurgence in demand for estate cars as the driving force behind their decision to bring back the V60 and V90. While the S60 and S90 sedans will remain discontinued in the UK market, Volvo sees an opportunity to cater to customers who prefer the versatility and style of wagons.

Future Prospects

The current generations of the S60/V60 and S90/V90 have been in production since 2018 and 2016 respectively, indicating that these wagons are nearing the end of their lifecycle. Rumors suggest that Volvo is working on a single EV successor to carry on the legacy of these iconic models.

Customer Demand Drives Volvo’s Decision

According to a Volvo spokesperson, the decision to reintroduce the V60 and V90 was influenced by a shift in customer preferences towards estate products. Volvo remains committed to adapting its product portfolio to meet changing market demands and will continue to evaluate its lineup to ensure it serves all customers effectively.

Available Models and Pricing

The Volvo V60 will be offered with a mild-hybrid 2.0-liter gasoline engine producing 197 hp or a plug-in hybrid setup with a combined output of 455 hp. On the other hand, the V90 will be exclusively available in plug-in hybrid form with a combined power of 350 hp. Pricing for these resurrected models will be announced soon, as Volvo aims to meet the growing demand for wagons in the UK market.
