Naming Optimization in Volvo for S80

Next full-size cars of Volvo are going to be produced not under the names we have got accustomed to.

Crucial changes are planned not only for the next XC90, but for the large share of the general line-up of the brand. Really innovative modifications are going to be implemented by 2017. Some nomenclature alternations are only the first steps in this direction, and they lead to branding back from S80 to S90, and it only would be one of the many.

V90 will soon be known for associations with the upcoming XC70 in its Cross Country modification. In its turn, V70 is going to join as plain V90. Chinese customers might also get a unique benefit of long wheelbase variant of S90.

Moreover, propulsion range will also be renovated: the whole next-gen line-up will boast Drive-E offerings. Ford likeness can be waved goodbye to now with genuine Scalable Product Architecture dominating the scene. The abovementioned models are planned to appear by 2017.
