it is reported that volvo's new generation xc60 pure electric successor is scheduled to be officially launched in 2026. the new car will be built on the brand's new spa3 platform and named "ex60". according to volvo officials, spa3 is theoretically compatible with all models of different sizes, from smaller than ex30 to larger than ex90. at the same time, the "modularity and upgradeability" of the platform means lower investment costs and significantly reduced production costs. this will also make volvo cars more flexible and able to adapt to changing market conditions more quickly.

anders bell, volvo cars' chief engineering and technology officer, revealed that spa3 will represent a major step forward from an engineering perspective, and has also achieved "evolution" in terms of software and electronic equipment compared to previous models; the new platform "was designed from the outset to be more scalable, not only in size, price point and across regions, but also in terms of production volume."

björn annwall, deputy ceo of volvo, said that the upcoming new ex60 model will bring "huge impetus" and mark a major change in its "electrification journey". at the same time, the size of the ex60 model is expected to be consistent with the xc60 model, and it will adopt the same exterior and interior design elements as the ex90 and ex30 models, and a coupe version will be launched for consumers to choose from. its main competitors include the bmw "neue klasse" ix3 to be launched in 2025 and the new generation of glc pure electric models.
