Volvo Cars to boost EX60 production on demand

Volvo Cars is increasing 2026 production volumes for its fully electric EX60 SUV following strong customer demand in Sweden and Germany. The automaker says order intake for the EX60 is significantly higher than it was for the EX30 small SUV after its global reveal in 2023, despite the EX30 being in a high-volume segment with a lower price point.

Order books are currently only open in European markets, with US orders set to open later this spring. Volvo Cars is in dialogue with labour unions with the aim of keeping its Torslanda plant in Sweden open for an extra week in the summer, which would be a first in the company’s history.

The automaker says it will prioritise a steady and prudent ramp-up of EX60 production to secure high-quality output. Customer car production is scheduled to begin next month.

In a statement, Erik Severinson, Chief Commercial Officer at Volvo Cars, said: “That so many customers ordered the EX60 in the first month has surpassed our expectations, and it’s a good ‘problem’ to have. We are very encouraged to see such strong demand for our game-changing electric SUV, and we are now reviewing our production plans for 2026.”

The EX60 was revealed at the end of January and is priced in line with the company’s best-selling XC60 plug-in hybrid. Volvo Cars says the vehicle delivers class-leading range and fast charging capability.
