This means drivers can no longer order its S60, V60, and V90 models – as well as the S90 and Cross Country versions of the V60 and V90, sales of which ended in June. The decision comes after Volvo announced that estates and saloons accounted for less than ten per cent of its UK sales.

Volvo’s UK line-up of SUVs will expand later this year and into 2024, but for those looking for its saloons and estates, they will stay overseas. In a statement sent to Autocar, Volvo said: “We continue to rapidly transform our product offer, which means not only moving towards full electrification, but also shifting to new platforms and technologies across all our cars. We will naturally need to evolve and consolidate our line-up as we prioritise fully electric cars and make this technological transition.”
