Volvo’s new electric SUV exceeds all commercial expectations… to the point of forcing the manufacturer to revise its production plans for 2026.
Launched at the end of January, the Volvo EX60 is experiencing a particularly dynamic launch in key European markets. In Sweden, its home market, over 3,000 orders have already been recorded in just a few weeks. Germany is also showing a significantly higher level of demand than the manufacturer’s internal projections.
Notably, the order books are currently only open in Europe. The United States, a strategic market for the electric SUV, will not open reservations until spring. The growth potential remains significant.
Another strong signal: the pace of orders exceeds that observed during the launch of the Volvo EX30 in 2023, which is positioned in a more accessible and lower-priced segment. An indicative sign of the EX60’s appeal, despite its more ambitious positioning.
In light of this strong demand, Volvo Cars plans to increase production volumes of the EX60 starting in 2026 at its Torslanda plant in Sweden. Discussions are underway with unions to keep the site open for an additional week during the summer — a first in the manufacturer’s industrial history.
A strategic electric SUV for Volvo
However, the brand specifies that it wants to prioritize a gradual increase in pace to ensure a high level of quality, as production of the first customer models is set to begin next month.
The Volvo EX60 is presented as a key model in the Swedish manufacturer’s electrification strategy. It promises a class-leading range, fast charging comparable to a typical highway stop, and a price positioning aligned with the XC60 plug-in hybrid, the brand’s best-seller.
