In the Nordics, only the Swedes can still buy a Volvo station wagon. At home, the brand only sells SUVs today.
The Danish Volvo importer no longer has a station wagon on its programme. On Volvo.dk, the importer announces for both the V60 and V90 models that, unfortunately: "this model is no longer available in Denmark."
The same is actually the case with the plug-in hybrids S60 and S90. The two sedan models have both been discontinued.
And not enough of that. Both the clean petrol and diesel cars have long since disappeared from the brand's Danish model range.
In fact, the importer made that decision long before Volvo Cars itself decided to stop the assembly line with diesel-engined cars.

And although the petrol-powered plug-in hybrid survives side by side with the electric car, there is little to suggest that neither the V60, V90, S60 or S90 will have successors. At least not right away.
A similar decision has been made in Norway. The importer confirms this in a press release . There are simply not enough coppers.
– With an almost entirely electric new car market and a population that increasingly prefers SUVs, it is right to stop selling the V90 and V60 now. We are continuing our investment in electric cars, it says.
And while the amputation of the model program has gone relatively unnoticed here in Denmark, the British have been so angry that Volvo removed the estate car that the importer has made the model part of the program again.
In total, more than six million Volvo station wagons have been sold globally. In Denmark alone, 629 new estate cars from Volvo hit the roads last year. But it's all over now.
On the other hand, not everything with a Volvo logo sells equally well either. For example, Volvo's first MPV, the Chinese EM90, is nothing less than a sales disaster. Read more about it here .
