Detroit debut: S90 luxury sedan

2016 pipeline: S90 goes on sale this summer.

New face: David Thomas was named vice president for customer experience and network, effective in August.

2015 share: 0.4% (Jan.-Nov.); 0.3% (Jan.-Dec. 2014)

Sales trend: With the launch of the redesigned XC90 large crossover, Volvo's U.S. sales rose 18% through November. The XC90, the first redesigned vehicle under Geely ownership, has been highly praised and demand is brisk.

Challenges: Volvo dealers aren't profitable enough and that won't change until the company replaces more vehicles in the lineup.

Strategy: Volvo plans to revamp the product range with an all-new scalable platform, design and four-cylinder engine family. Seven new or redesigned vehicles are planned by the end of 2017. Volvo also plans to start building vehicles in the U.S. in a new South Carolina factory in late 2018.
