The Volvo P2 platform is a global full-size unibody automobile platform developed and produced by Volvo. It is designed for single wheelbases and is adaptable to front- or all wheel drive configurations. It was developed by the automaker before its 1999 acquisition by Ford Motor Company, and debuted with the 1998 Volvo S80.
The platform was in use from 1998 and was slowly phased out beginning in 2006. The first generation XC90 remained in production until 2014, a special version for the Chinese market called XC Classic went into production in 2014, making it the only model still in production that uses this platform.
