That's not the whole story. They haven't physically taken the S80 floor pan and then messed it about to create the design. What actually happened is the XC90 shares key dimensions, so certain points are in the same position relative to each other in 3D space, such as suspension pick up points, door hinges etc. This vastly simplifies production but does not mean there is much physical resemblance between the two. Structurally they are quite different.
