Predecessor Volvo P3 platform

The Volvo Scalable Product Architecture is the name of a global full-size unibody automobile platform developed[2] and produced by Volvo. It debuted in 2015 when the second-generation Volvo XC90 was released.[3] With SPA, Volvo claims it "enables significant improvements when it comes to offering protection in worst-case scenarios and when creating innovative features that support the driver in avoiding accidents."[4] Volvo has invested 90 billion kroner in the platform.

All SPA based cars will be delivered with 4 cylinder engines. The diesel and petrol engines share the same Volvo Engine Architecture, and Volvo can build 530,000 engines per year.[5]
