When Volvo unveiled the gorgeous Concept Coupe in 2013, very few enthusiasts actually thought that the Swedes will turn it into a production car without heavy alterations. Fortunately, most of the concept’s sleek design made it onto the S90 — the sedan that replaced the S80 as Volvo’s flagship model and a competitor for the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Sporty yet elegant and boasting a luxurious interior and powerful, but efficient engines, the S90 brings Volvo into a new era, one during which the brand may actually stand a chance against its premium European competitors.
But what about a coupe? Will Volvo offer a production model similar to the concept car? It turns out it will, with a two-door version of the S90 reportedly to arrive by the end of the decade.
Speaking to Auto Express at the S90’s unveiling event in Gothenburg, Sweden, Volvo’s senior vice president of design Thomas Ingenlath laid out out the company’s five-year plan, which includes a two-door coupe. However, while the V90 has already arrived, a coupe won’t be launched until Volvo rolls out a new lineup of compacts (S60, V60, XC60), the XC40, and a new all-electric model. All told, the coupe will be pushed back to around 2019, about the same time when the S90 will receive its first facelift.
Granted, the S90 Coupe (possibly the C90) is still a long ways off, but that didn’t stop us from creating a rendering of the production model and speculating upon what it may bring to the table. Keep reading to find out more.
