Volvo Cars UK has confirmed it has stopped taking orders for its S60, V60 and V90 models as it becomes an SUV-only brand.

The Swedish car maker dropped its S90 saloon back in June, along with plug-in hybrid versions of the XC40.

Volvo's shrunken line up now consists of the C40, XC40, XC60 and XC90.

It will shortly be expanded with the addition of the EX30, while the EX90 flagship will launch in 2024.

A statement issued by 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. As a result, we have removed further models from the UK line-up."

The car maker added that demand for its saloon and estate models had fallen to "very low levels" in the UK.

In the first half of 2023, Volvo registered almost 25,000 new cars in the UK. The brand's saloon and estate models accounted for less than 10% of sales.
