Volvo S90 on Brink of US Phase-Out Amid Tariff Turmoil

April 11, 2025 – Volvo is set to halt sales of its executive sedan, the S90, in the United States starting with the 2025 model year, primarily due to the impact of the US tariff policy, as reported by Automotive News on April 10.

Despite this move, Carscoops notes that the S90 saw a 46.1% increase in sales this year compared to the same period in 2024, with 377 units sold. In the first quarter of 2024, only 258 S90s were sold.

A source familiar with the matter revealed that Volvo opted to discontinue the S90 rather than continue absorbing the costs associated with the tariff burden.

The S90, priced from $58,300, features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 295 horsepower and 420 N·m of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.2 seconds.

Last month, Volvo introduced the all-electric ES90, which combines elements of a sedan, fastback, and crossover. Built on the SPA2 platform, the ES90 offers two battery options and the choice between rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, with a maximum output of 671 horsepower and 870 N·m of torque.

The Chinese-made ES90 may face high tariffs if it is introduced in the US, and its availability remains uncertain. The ES90 is currently available for order in several European countries, with other markets slated for a rollout later this year or in 2026.
