Not sure how accurate these are, looks like an XC90 from there side. 6 days until official unveiling...

Glad they continued the same theme.. the current XC90 is still a good looking car. This is different enough - but not too different.

Like the interior a lot - the steering wheel and those deep bucket seats look great 👍

I guess with the Polestar 3 due shortly they likely don't want to shift away too much from the current design language.

I'm also hopeful that the AAOS iteration that will be used will make up V3.0 (or whatever it is by then) for current models and bring back some of the functionality everyone wants.

The XC90 is much better looking on the outside anyway than this "customisation jobbie"

Manufacturers seem to have great trouble deciding what to put where the grill used to be.

A nice window box would be good!

Exterior looks great. As for the inside it is a real shame to adopt the Tesla/VW approach of making the two dash screens look stuck on as an after thought. That would put me off - whats wrong with built in?

Pricing is likely the main issue mind. Most traditional XC90 buyers (including me) will likely find this too expensive.

Wait up a few more years and there won't be a central screen it'll have a dock for an iPad or something Google tablet wise, or even a sledge space there you dock a laptop on the dash.

Volvo app and Carplay/AA naturally.
