Volvo has axed the S90, XC40 PHEV and Cross Country estates in the UK as it accelerates its push toward an all-electric lineup

Autocar has approached saloon was axed after it scored just 34 sales in its first year on the market.

With sales of traditional estates declining in light of the rising popularity of SUVs, it remains to be seen whether Volvo will directly replace its estates with electric equivalents and whether any replacement will be sold in Cross Country guise. Likewise, Volvo has been tight-lipped on any plans for a potential flagship electric saloon, although the S90's current position as the firm’s lowest-volume car in Europe suggests it won’t be a priority.

A Volvo spokesperson said: “We're rapidly transforming our product offer, which means not only moving towards full electrification but also shifting to new platforms and technologies across all our cars.
