Volvo EX60: Minimalist Interior with Invisible Technology
Volvo has pulled back the curtain on the interior of its next-generation electric SUV, the EX60, confirming that its technological focus has shifted from massive screens to intelligent, "invisible" solutions. The EX60, set to replace the popular XC60, will be the first model to utilize the new SPA3 platform. Its cabin is designed with minimalist perfection; Volvo engineers state that drivers will no longer need to navigate complex menus, as the new operating system predicts needs and displays information only when necessary.
The most significant change is the dashboard, which has been stripped of conventional buttons. In their place is an advanced Augmented Reality (AR) head-up display that covers nearly the driver's entire field of vision. This system projects navigation cues and vital driving data directly onto the road surface, making the traditional instrument cluster practically redundant. Furthermore, the interior features sustainably sourced textiles and wood that conceal touch-sensitive surfaces—maintaining a clean, calming aesthetic that becomes functional only when a hand approaches the surface.
Volvo emphasizes that the EX60 is not just another electric car, but a "computer on wheels" capable of continuous learning. Powered by the new NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chip, the vehicle analyzes the cabin in real-time, monitoring driver fatigue and even emotional states to adjust lighting or audio settings accordingly. Integrated Google services also ensure a seamless digital experience without the need for manual smartphone intervention.
The global debut of the EX60 is officially scheduled for January 21, 2026, with production expected to begin in the first half of the year. While official pricing is still under wraps, industry estimates suggest a starting price between €50,000–€60,000, positioning it as a direct and formidable challenger to the Tesla Model Y and German premium rivals.
