The End of the Line for Volvo V90 Cross Country

"Volvo is discontinuing its lifted large wagon, marking the end of the model's production."

Volvo is officially retiring its large, long-roofed V90 Cross Country, joining the growing list of discontinued Volvo wagons, both lifted and standard.

Autocar reported last week that the standard V90 would be phased out in Europe, and today Road & Track confirmed the end of the V90 Cross Country through a Volvo spokesperson.

Volvo’s official statement reads:
Volvo Cars is discontinuing the V90 and V90 Cross Country models, nine years after their debut. Production of these models will conclude this September, and the order book has already closed.”

 

So why is Volvo retiring the V90 Cross Country?

The company explains, “The decision to end production of the V90 and V90 Cross Country has been made in accordance with our cycle plans and does not affect our other estate models.”

In short, Volvo is calling time on the V90 Cross Country. Unlike the popular XC90, the V90 Cross Country never received a timely refresh to sustain sales. That said, buyers aren’t entirely out of luck.

Volvo notes, “Depending on the market there may be limited stock available, and we cannot guarantee how long this stock will last.”

As of this story’s publication, the V90 Cross Country remains listed on Volvo’s U.S. website, with 110 new units from the 2025 and 2026 model years still available. Buyers interested in securing one should act fast, as no additional stock will be produced.

 

With the V90 Cross Country being retired, the V60 Cross Country remains Volvo’s sole wagon available in the U.S. The company emphasized that discontinuing the V90 Cross Country does not affect its other estate models, leaving the V60 Cross Country secure for now.

The end of international production for the V90 and V90 Cross Country comes as little surprise. Earlier this year, former CEO Jim Rowan hinted that Volvo might eventually move toward a wagon-less lineup, and current CEO Håkan Samuelsson has offered no indication otherwise.

Still, this moment marks a pause in Volvo’s long legacy of larger wagons. From the classic Duett to the 245 and 960 series, Volvo has built a strong tradition of family-size station wagons—a tradition the V90 series carried forward. Samuelsson himself spoke passionately about the wagon back in 2016 when the V90 first debuted.

“We have a strong heritage in the estate segment,” Samuelsson said. “Many people consider us the definitive estate brand. While Volvo represents much more than just estates, we are proud to carry forward this rich legacy with the V90.”
