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. Interior details show a large central display with rear seats capable of 4/6 folding and independent climate vents. While powertrain specifics remain undisclosed, the visible exhaust suggests the vehicle will retain an internal combustion engine, likely with a plug-in hybrid option.
