Volvo Cars is set to redefine the driving experience with the all-new, fully electric EX60, launching on 21 January 2026. As the first Volvo to feature Gemini, Google’s cutting-edge AI assistant, the EX60 is a car that understands natural conversation—making every drive safer, smarter, and more enjoyable.

A Human-Centric Technological Leap
“The new EX60 is full of human-centric technology designed to enhance your life behind the wheel,” says Anders Bell, Chief Engineering and Technology Officer at Volvo Cars. At the heart of this innovation is HuginCore, Volvo’s latest system of integrated hardware and software. Named after the Norse mythological bird Hugin, this system powers the EX60’s intelligence, combining in-house technology with expertise from Google, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm. The result is advanced tech that operates quietly in the background, keeping drivers supported and focused on the road.

Gemini: Conversation Meets Control
With Gemini, drivers can manage complex tasks without memorizing specific commands. Whether it’s retrieving a hotel booking from email, checking if an item fits in the trunk, or planning a road trip, the AI assistant handles it naturally. This deep integration allows the EX60 to anticipate needs, keep hands on the wheel, and eyes on the road, offering a truly intuitive driving experience that builds on nearly a decade of Volvo-Google collaboration.

Power Where It Counts
The EX60’s AI-driven features require immense computing muscle, provided by the next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm, delivering the most processing power ever in a Volvo. Continuous, ultra-responsive connectivity comes via the Snapdragon Auto Connectivity Platform, complete with four years of unlimited data. At the core, the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin system-on-a-chip runs the safety-certified DriveOS, delivering lightning-fast responsiveness across all systems—infotainment, navigation, and AI support alike.

A Car That Learns With Every Mile
Beyond performance, HuginCore enables the EX60 to understand its surroundings in real time. With the ability to perform over 250 trillion operations per second, it anticipates potential hazards, supports advanced driver assistance, and learns from global Volvo experiences—including accidents and near-misses—constantly improving safety for its driver.

Better From Day One, Smarter Over Time
Like all new Volvo vehicles, the EX60 benefits from over-the-air updates, ensuring a car that is exceptional from day one only gets better. Future Gemini integration will unlock features such as using the EX60’s cameras to answer questions about the environment, blending AI intelligence with real-world awareness.

Performance That Impresses
The EX60 doesn’t just excel in tech. With up to 810 km of range on a single all-wheel-drive charge and the ability to add 340 km in just ten minutes using a 400kW fast charger, it outpaces even the most recently revealed EV competitors.

The EX60 Reveal
Volvo Cars will officially unveil the EX60 on 21 January 2026, with a livestream accessible to audiences worldwide. This marks the next chapter in intelligent, human-focused mobility—a car that speaks, listens, and evolves with its driver.

Note: Features and services may vary by market. Range figures are preliminary, based on WLTP standards, and depend on conditions such as charge level, weather, and driving style.
