Volvo recently unveiled its highly anticipated electric vehicle, the ES90, during a live streaming event on YouTube.
This vehicle represents a significant step forward for the Swedish automobile manufacturer, showcasing a sleek, aerodynamic design and the capacity for 800-volt charging technology.
The ES90 is now available for pre-orders in Europe; however, the company has yet to confirm a timeline for its release in the United States.
The EX60 will utilize a new platform, which the company is implementing to enhance scalability
In addition to the ES90, Volvo provided a brief glimpse of the upcoming EX60, which will serve as the electric counterpart to the popular XC60 crossover SUV.
Set to debut in 2026, the EX60 was revealed in the form of a clay model, featuring a split-taillight arrangement reminiscent of other recent Volvo designs like the EX30 and EX90. The model appeared to be sized between the compact EX30 and the three-row flagship EX90, hinting at Volvo’s strategy to fill gaps in its electric lineup.
The EX60 will utilize a new platform, designated SPA3, which the company is implementing to enhance scalability through the use of mega castings—large single components designed to replace multiple smaller parts.
This innovative manufacturing process will be rolled out at Volvo’s Torslanda plant in Sweden. Notably, SPA3 will retain a shared electrical architecture with the existing SPA2 platform found in the EX90, showcasing Volvo’s commitment to a software-defined vehicle ecosystem.
Volvo is betting on its ‘Superset’ technology stack to enrich its vehicles with more software-based features, including upgraded computing capabilities that will debut with the ES90 and be retrofitted to the EX90. As the automotive industry shifts toward electrification, Volvo is positioning itself to meet rising consumer demands with these advanced models.
