The Volvo Scalable Product Architecture is the name of a global full-size unibody automobile platform developed and produced by Volvo. It debuted in 2014 when the second-generation Volvo XC90 was released. 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." Volvo has invested 90 billion SEK 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.
