Exciting news is coming from the land of innovation and design! On January 21, 2026, Volvo will pull back the curtain on its much-anticipated all-electric EX60 SUV during a global livestream from Stockholm, Sweden. This mid-size beauty is poised to carve out a significant niche in Volvo’s burgeoning all-electric lineup, promising longer range and cutting-edge technology.
The EX60 is positioned perfectly between the XC40 Recharge and the top-of-the-line EX90, serving as Volvo’s first electric mid-size SUV based on its latest technology platform. With a commitment to sustainable luxury, the EX60 is designed to blend practicality, performance, and that iconic Scandinavian refinement we’ve come to love from Volvo. It represents a bold statement about the automaker’s direction, embodying their pledge toward a greener future.
Grant Locke, Managing Director at Volvo Car South Africa, expresses excitement about the upcoming launch, saying, “The upcoming EX60 signals the next chapter in Volvo’s journey toward becoming a fully electric brand.” As the electric vehicle landscape in South Africa continues to evolve—marked by an increasing number of charging points and a growing awareness of eco-friendly options—the arrival of the EX60 couldn’t come at a better time.
Production of this innovative vehicle will begin at Volvo’s Torslanda plant in Gothenburg in the first half of 2026, with local deliveries to South Africa expected by the late third quarter of the year. This is part of a larger electrification strategy that also includes the fully electric ES90 sedan in 2026, widening Volvo’s offerings across various body styles and market segments.
Aiming for 90-100% of global sales to consist of fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2030, Volvo isn’t just keeping pace with the industry; they are leading it. For those in South Africa and around the globe looking for a blend of luxury and sustainability in their next vehicle, the EX60 appears to be a perfect match.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor this groundbreaking development in the automotive world, and let’s celebrate the strides towards a sustainable future in mobility!
