Volvo Promises at Least One New and One Updated Model Each Year for the Next Eight Years

Volvo's flow of new models is far from over. The brand has committed to introducing at least one new model and one refreshed model every year for the next eight years. This information emerged from a dealer meeting in the U.S., linked to the production of the EX90, with details shared by Automotive News.

In the next two years alone, Volvo plans to launch ten new models, including both entirely new cars and facelifts. However, there are a few things to consider. Due to high import tariffs, the smaller EX30 has yet to be introduced in North America, and the electric versions of the XC40 and C40 aren’t named EX40 and EC40 there as they are in other regions. These three are likely to be part of the ten new models. Add the EX90, the facelifted XC90, and the already announced ES90, and that leaves four newcomers in the pipeline over the next two years.

One of these is expected to be the EX60, a smaller sibling to the EX90, which could become a strong contender as an electric alternative to the XC60. If the EX90 serves as any indication, the arrival of the EX60 might coincide with a significant facelift for the XC60, bringing us to the eighth new model.

Another highlight from Automotive News is the expected launch of a plug-in hybrid with a longer range than current Volvo models. This car is likely based on the SPA1 platform, which already underpins most of the existing gasoline lineup (except the 40 series). Volvo may once again increase the battery size in these models, following a previous upgrade to 18.8 kWh units. Additionally, *Automotive News* hints at the development of an EV station wagon-like model, rumored to be called the EV60—a move that might catch Renault’s attention.


This promise of at least one new and one updated model per year applies globally, meaning that there's plenty of exciting Volvo news on the horizon. As Volvo Canada's head, Michael Cottone, summed it up after the EX90 and XC90 reveal: "We are just getting warmed up."
