Volvo axed the V90 from its Canadian lineup in 2020, only to reintroduce it in a Cross Country configuration for the 2022 model year. However, the Swedish automaker has confirmed that its large wagon will be discontinued permanently at the end of the 2026 model year, following in the footsteps of the S90 sedan. For its final run, the V90 Cross Country is available in a single, fully equipped trim level called Ultra featuring a mild-hybrid four-cylinder engine (295 horsepower).

2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country: King of the Ice
