Spy shots have emerged of a new Volvo sedan, slightly larger than the current S60, featuring a LiDAR unit on the roof and believed to be the S70. The front end appears bulkier than existing combustion models, with a noticeable fastback design from the B-pillar to the rear and a small spoiler lip above the trunk. The taillight housing resembles the EX30, adopting the brand's family design language.

While powertrain specifics remain undisclosed, the visible exhaust suggests the vehicle will retain an internal combustion engine, likely with a plug-in hybrid option.
