The next-generation XC90 might not actually be named the XC90 at all. Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a recent interview that their flagship SUV's name “will start with a vowel.”
This is interesting when back in October it was revealed Volvo filed a trademark for the name "Embla". Maybe they're going to change the name as part of the shift to a fully electric platform.
