Volvo revealed the all-new 2017 V90 luxury wagon today, the latest from the company’s top-of-the-line 90 series vehicles.

The V90 uses the same architecture as the XC90 SUV and S90 sedan. Called Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), it allows Volvo to create different types of vehicles from a common platform.

Under the hood, the V90 is available with a choice of engines. The T5 has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 254 horsepower. Next up the line is the T6, which has the same 2.0-liter engine but it adds a supercharger to go with the turbo to bump power to 320 horsepower.

The top-level T8 AWD comes with Volvo’s hybrid powertrain that mates the engine from the T6 with an electric motor at the rear. Combined, they put out 407 horsepower and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque. The system can operate in pure-electric mode for around 30 miles (50 km).

The V90 is also available with two diesel engines — both 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged four-cylinders with the same bore and stroke measurements as the gasoline engines. Volvo didn’t specify whether or not the diesel-powered V90s are destined for U.S. shores.

Volvos have always been known for safety, and the V90 comes with the company’s litany of safety features like large animal detection and lane keeping. It also has a semi-autonomous driving system called Pilot Assist. It essentially adds steering control to the adaptive cruise control to allow for autonomous driving in stop-and-go situations. It can also operate up to speeds of 80 mph to help with long trips. The system shuts off if the driver doesn’t keep a hand on the wheel.

The V90 is expected to arrive in the U.S. in 2017. Pricing hasn’t been announced.
