With 670 hp, twin engines and an intelligent seat belt, Volvo aims to bring the electric car market back to the attention of consumers, who have not yet fully embraced this type of model.

Volvo
Founded in 1927 by engineer Gustav Larson and economist Assar Gabrielsson, it is based in Sweden, but belongs to the Chinese Geely group of companies. It is one of the brands recognized as high-end, with a focus on quality and safety. With a presence in approximately 100 countries, it is another car brand that has joined the redesign of its models in favor of more sustainable and environmentally friendly ones. Like Tesla, Cupra, BYD, and many other brands, it has bet on the electric car market, which it intends to revolutionize.
Volvo EX60
The company has announced the launch of its new model, the Volvo EX60 for spring 2026. It is convinced that with this bet it will revolutionize the electric car market, and will once again become the attraction it was for consumers in its beginnings. It will be a model with 3 or 5 doors and different power options; from 329 to 670 hp. It will have its twin engine and en-step-drive-away. Four-wheel drive and a minimalist interior design. In terms of connectivity, it will feature a Google system, which will allow access to cloud services and updates remotely. All this on a large screen with touch function.
What is its most revolutionary feature?
One of Volvo’s big bets has been automotive safety. The new EX60 model will feature technology never seen before. Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, the seat belt adapts to the body and the type of crash, increasing safety and reducing risks. How is this possible?
They have achieved it with the use of sensors and real-time data, which provides the necessary information for the belt to adjust according to the needs of the moment. In addition, it also detects the number of passengers, even if some of them are not sitting correctly in their seat. It is a belt that not only protects, but also knows how to interpret. Volvo has explained that it is not just about innovation, but about offering the customer greater real safety.
Technology and efficiency
Undoubtedly, the year 2026 seems to bring good news for Volvo. The brand seems to deposit in its new model all its energies and hopes for success, for which we will see a fully electric model, with the bacteria relocated in the chassis, with lower weight and costs. It promises a range of almost 700 km without recharging and a power of 670 hp. This new model will enter the market competing with the Tesla Model Y, the Ford Mustang Mach-E or the BMW iX3.
Volvo has not wanted to reveal more features of its new model, but based on the market and what is already known, it is estimated that it can be around 70,000 €.We will see more and more models of this style whose purpose is to surprise and dazzle consumers. It is not only about design, but also about focusing on the safety, autonomy and power of electric vehicles, which seems to have been the weakest point and why it has not been fully accepted by the market.
