Volvo knows the importance of the future XC90 and that is why it plays with us and its debut. Maybe you didn't know or had forgotten, but this SUV was the one that pulled her out of the hole years ago. And although it no longer sells as much as its rivals do, its ability to represent is beyond doubt. Just the fact that has displaced the already mythical S90 as the firm's flagship and not only that, it will be the one that carries the weight of electrification.
Here is the crux of the matter, we do not know what will happen to the future Volvo XC90. On his day, the CEO of the Swedish firm said that, in addition to growing and offering a higher technological level, it would change its name. Now it would no longer be XC90, just plain, because it would start with the letter E. And so on until today, because they have not explained well how its evolution will be, but it seems that everything will end very soon. The new XC90 or Embla, or whatever, will debut very soon…
Everything indicated that the new Volvo XC90 would debut on September 21... but it will arrive before the end of the year...

Until now, since Volvo has published a press release to announce that the September 21 day one will come new era for safety and for Volvo Cars. But beyond staying with the owner of this document, the Swedish house goes further and also gives clues of what will come before the end of the year. As they write...
«Later this year, we will reveal our new all-electric flagship SUV. Born electric and defined by software, it is a demonstration of our future and ushers in a new era for security and business."
Therefore, it is clear that what we will see next September 21 will not be the successor to the Volvo XC90. Moreover, if we go back to the press release we can read that…
“Before I show you the car later this year, Jim Rowan will present our vision for the future of safety and Volvo Cars, giving you a first look at some of the new technologies coming as standard on our next all-electric SUV. It will include innovative features designed to increase the safety of you and those around you."
Hence the teaser that accompanies the press release is so "simple". Still, the keynote address for the event is titled “Safety in Mind” and makes Volvo's intent very clear. Another thing is that between slide and slide an image escapes them. We will be very attentive...
