Stockholm, Sweden – 15 October 2025 – Volvo is poised to expand its electric mobility footprint with the launch of its all-new EX60, a premium mid-size SUV that promises to redefine the brand’s approach to electrification. Scheduled for a global livestream reveal on 21 January 2026 from Stockholm, the EX60 embodies the next phase of Volvo’s ambitious electrification strategy, offering a compelling blend of range, technology, and Scandinavian refinement.
Positioned between the XC40 Recharge and the flagship EX90, the EX60 represents Volvo’s first electric mid-size SUV built on its latest technology base. With an emphasis on longer driving range and an advanced user experience, the model caters to discerning drivers who demand performance, practicality, and everyday versatility without compromise.
Electrification Without Compromise
Born electric, the EX60 underscores Volvo’s commitment to sustainable mobility while maintaining the luxury and usability synonymous with the brand. “The upcoming EX60 signals the next chapter in Volvo’s journey toward becoming a fully electric brand,” said Grant Locke, Managing Director at Volvo Car South Africa (VCSA). “As South Africa’s EV landscape continues to expand—with more charging points, growing awareness, and an appetite for premium electrification—the EX60 will arrive at the perfect time. It’s designed to bring our latest technology to a broader audience while delivering the range, confidence, and everyday practicality that local drivers expect.”
Following a year of significant growth in Volvo’s electrified lineup—including the EX90, EX30 Cross Country, and updated plug-in hybrid versions of the XC60 and XC90—the EX60 further strengthens the brand’s commitment to electric SUVs. It is designed to fill a pivotal role in Volvo’s portfolio, bridging the entry-level XC40 Recharge and the flagship EX90, delivering a balanced package of size, technology, and efficiency.
A New Technology Base for a New Era
The EX60 is the first Volvo model to launch on the company’s latest technology platform, delivering innovations in battery efficiency, user interface, and driving dynamics. Drivers can expect a longer range than any previous electric Volvo, alongside cutting-edge infotainment, connectivity, and driver-assistance systems. The vehicle’s architecture also allows for a spacious interior that seamlessly combines Scandinavian design with functionality, ensuring a refined and comfortable experience for both driver and passengers.
Local Production and Deliveries
Built at Volvo’s Torslanda plant in Gothenburg, Sweden, production of the EX60 will commence in the first half of 2026, with South African deliveries scheduled for the mid-to-late third quarter. The launch aligns with Volvo’s broader strategy in South Africa, which includes the upcoming fully electric ES90 sedan, offering local customers greater choice across body styles and segments.
By 2030, Volvo aims for 90–100% of its global sales to be either fully electric or plug-in hybrid models. The EX60 is a decisive step toward that vision, demonstrating the brand’s ability to combine sustainability with luxury and performance—a hallmark of Volvo’s identity.
A Glimpse of the Future
With the EX60, Volvo continues to shape the future of electric mobility, delivering an SUV that promises more than just efficiency. It offers a complete experience: a spacious and refined interior, intuitive technology, and a driving range designed to provide confidence for everyday life. For South African customers, the EX60 represents the perfect convergence of innovation, practicality, and Scandinavian elegance.
The EX60 will be revealed globally on 21 January 2026 in a livestream from Stockholm, marking a defining moment for Volvo as it drives forward its vision of a fully electric future.
