Before its reveal, the first official pictures of the S90 were shown on Wednesday, 2 December 2015.

The S90's design was well received, winning the Production Car Design of the Year award for 2015.[14]
While not a direct successor to the second-generation S80, the S90 replaces it as the flagship sedan in Volvo's lineup. Several trim levels are available, ranging from Momentum to Inscription. In July 2016, an optional, cosmetic R-Design package was announced. A long wheelbase version was announced for availability in the United States.[15]
For the 2022 model year in the United Kingdom, the range was limited to the S90 Recharge, a mild-hybridsedan.
