Volvo's new generation S80 saloon will be launched at the Geneva Motor Show at the end of February.
There will be a number of new engines, including a 315bhp V8 with AWD, and 3.2-litre six-cylinder petrol engines.
The latest version of Volvo's 185hp D5 turbo diesel will also be in the power lineup.
The previous generation was launched in 1998.
