Volvo Cars will reveal its new EX60 fully electric mid-size SUV on 21 January, featuring Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence assistant as standard, making it the first Volvo model to launch with the technology that enables natural language conversation between driver and vehicle. The Swedish automaker says the EX60 offers a range of up to 810km on a single charge in all-wheel drive configuration, with the ability to add 340km of range in ten minutes when using a 400kW fast charger.

The EX60 introduces HuginCore, Volvo Cars’ newly named core system encompassing its in-house developed electrical architecture, core computer, zone controllers and software. The system incorporates Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platform and the Nvidia DRIVE platform with DRIVE AGX Orin.
