| Volvo EX60: The new multi-adaptive seat belt is used for the first time in the all-electric premium SUV. |
Get ready to mark your calendars, electric vehicle enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike. Volvo has officially announced that its next-generation flagship, the all-electric Volvo EX60, will make its global debut on January 21, 2026. Promising to redefine the premium SUV segment, the EX60 isn't just an evolution—it’s a technological leap forward, boasting a staggering estimated range, blistering charging speeds, and an AI-powered brain that feels ripped from the future.
Breaking the 500-Mile Barrier: Unprecedented Range for an AWD SUV
The headline figure is enough to cause a double-take. Volvo promises the EX60 will achieve up to 810 kilometers (503 miles) on a single charge. What makes this number truly remarkable is that it applies to the all-wheel-drive version, a configuration typically known for its higher energy consumption. This positions the EX60 not just as a city cruiser, but as a legitimate, anxiety-free grand tourer.
But range is only half the story. The EX60 tackles the other major EV pain point—charging time—with equal vigor. With a peak charging capability of 400 kW, the SUV can harness the fastest public charging stations to their full potential. Volvo states this translates to adding approximately 340 km (211 miles) of range in just ten minutes. That’s enough time for a coffee break to substantially extend your journey, a feat previously the exclusive domain of ultra-high-performance sports cars.

Meet HuginCore: The Norse Mythology-Inspired Supercomputer Under the Hood
Powering this electric beast is more than just a battery and motors. Volvo is introducing an entirely new computing architecture named HuginCore, after one of Odin’s ravens in Norse mythology that brought knowledge of the world. This system is a technological tour de force, combining hardware giants Nvidia and Qualcomm to deliver over 250 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of processing power.
So, what does that mean for you? HuginCore is a dual-brain. The Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Platform will drive an incredibly responsive, crisp, and immersive infotainment experience. Simultaneously, the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin chip processes a flood of data from cameras, radars, and lidar sensors in real-time, enabling advanced driver-assistance systems and paving a clear path toward future autonomous driving capabilities.

Your Co-Pilot is Google Gemini: The First Truly Conversational Car AI
Here’s where the EX60 gets truly futuristic. Volvo will be the world’s first automaker to integrate the Google Gemini AI assistant natively into its vehicle. Forget stilted, pre-programmed voice commands. Gemini is designed for natural, conversational dialogue.
Imagine asking, “My email confirmation says we’re staying at The Grand Hotel in Vienna next month—can you find charging stations nearby?” or “Based on the camping gear in the trunk, plan a scenic weekend route through the national parks.” Gemini can parse your emails, check digital lists, and orchestrate complex trip planning. Future over-the-air updates are promised to unlock even more capabilities, like using the car’s external cameras to analyze your surroundings and answer questions about landmarks or points of interest.

A Car That Grows Smarter: The Software-Defined Future
The EX60 is built as a true software-defined vehicle (SDV). Its foundation, the Superset Tech Stack, ensures that the car you buy today will evolve and improve tomorrow. Owners will receive regular over-the-air (OTA) updates that can enhance everything from battery management and driving dynamics to the AI assistant’s skills and the infotainment system’s features, keeping the vehicle at the cutting edge for years to come.
