Swedish automaker Volvo has offered a sneak peek at its upcoming EX60 electric compact crossover, set to launch in 2026. The reveal happened subtly during a video showcasing the ES90 electric hatchback on March 5, where a clay model labeled EX60 appeared briefly.
This new model is expected to be Volvo’s first vehicle built on its next-generation SPA3 platform, marking a significant step forward in EV innovation.
EX60 to Debut on Volvo’s Advanced SPA3 Platform
During its financial results announcement in February, Volvo officially confirmed the EX60’s development. The vehicle will be based on the all-new SPA3 (Scalable Product Architecture 3) platform, designed exclusively for electric vehicles.
The SPA3 platform is expected to bring notable improvements, including:
✅ Better Scalability – Suitable for vehicles of various sizes, from subcompacts to full-size models.
✅ Shared Tech Stack – Utilizing Volvo’s Superset technology for hardware and software integration.
✅ Mega Casting Innovation – A production method that enhances structural integrity and reduces manufacturing costs.
Volvo is set to implement mega casting at its Torslanda plant in Sweden, where the XC60 is currently manufactured. This technique will replace multiple body components with a single cast unit, making the production process faster, lighter, and more efficient.
EX60 Will Coexist with the Updated XC60
While the EX60 represents the future of Volvo’s electric lineup, the company has confirmed that its popular XC60 will remain on sale. In fact, Volvo recently updated the XC60 in February 2024, introducing:
🔹 Minor exterior design changes
🔹 A revamped infotainment system
🔹 Enhanced in-cabin technology
Additionally, despite its initial goal to become an all-electric brand by 2030, Volvo has revised its strategy. The company now plans to continue selling gas and plug-in hybrid models beyond 2030, adapting to evolving market demands.
