The Volvo Scalable Product Architecture (SPA)^[4] platform is a global, full-size, unibody automobile platform developed and manufactured by Volvo Cars, which has been produced over two generations.^[5] It debuted in 2014 when the second-generation Volvo XC90 was released.^[6] Work on the new in-house platform began in 2011 shortly after Volvo was acquired by Geely from Ford Motor Company. During development, particular emphasis was placed on achieving weight-reduction, design commonality, manufacturing rationalization, and hybridization opportunities.^[7] The new SPA platform replaced two prior vehicle architectures, the Volvo P2 platform and Volvo P3 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.^[9]
