Volvo Sets January 21 Global Debut for EX60, First Model With Google Gemini AI

The model anchors Volvo’s shift to a software-defined platform promising longer range, faster charging, expanded driver assistance.

Overview

  • Volvo introduces HuginCore, a new hardware–software stack that centralizes compute and vehicle electronics using Nvidia DRIVE AGX Orin and Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets for over 250 trillion operations per second.
  • The EX60 runs on the 800‑volt SPA3 platform with cell‑to‑body battery integration and mega‑castings, which Volvo says boosts efficiency and enables over‑the‑air upgrades and a 10‑year battery warranty.
  • Company claims include up to 810 km WLTP range in all‑wheel‑drive form and 400 kW DC fast charging that can add up to 340 km in about 10 minutes, with real‑world figures dependent on certification and charger availability.
  • Volvo says HuginCore integrates sensors and safety systems so the car can understand surroundings and learn from fleet data to enhance driver support over time.
  • Production is slated to start in H1 2026 at Torslanda, Sweden, as Volvo positions the EX60 as the electric successor to the XC60 in a segment contested by BMW and Mercedes.
