The teaser showcases advanced safety technology.
Volvo has unveiled gloomy teaser photos of the 2026 Volvo ES90, hinting at a sophisticated driving assistance system, though official details remain limited. A sizable sensor module above the windshield suggests the presence of LiDAR-based autonomous driving technology.
The ES90’s rear end still features Volvo’s recognizable vertical taillights, now integrated with LED bars extending across the rear window.
