The vehicle will utilise Volvo's SPA3 flexible platform, an upgraded version of SPA2 used in the EX90 flagship model. This platform includes Volvo Cars Superset technology stack, which manages both hardware and software functions.

Advanced Manufacturing Techniques

The new SUV will be the first Volvo to use mega-casting technology. This method allows large sections of the vehicle to be produced as single parts rather than multiple components, reducing production costs. The modular nature of SPA3 also contributes to cost efficiency.

Currently, Volvo offers the C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge electric vehicles in India. However, the brand has yet to introduce its new EX line-up of electric SUVs in this market.

Key Model for Electric Transition

The EX60 is expected to play a crucial role in Volvo's transition to electric vehicles. It will serve as a significant model for the brand's shift towards an all-electric future. Despite announcing only the name of this new SUV, Volvo has not disclosed further details yet.

In addition to its size and design cues, the EX60 will benefit from advanced computing capabilities provided by the SPA3 architecture. This includes both hardware and software that manage various vehicle functions, ensuring a high level of performance and efficiency.

Volvo's commitment to innovation is evident with this upcoming model. The introduction of mega-casting technology and a highly scalable platform underscores their dedication to reducing production costs while maintaining quality.
