Volvo EX60 debuts as the world's first Google Gemini-powered AI EV

Volvo has introduced the EX60, the world’s first electric vehicle powered by Google Gemini AI, marking a significant advancement in AI integration within automobiles. Unveiled on January 21, 2026, the EX60 is built on Volvo’s new SPA3 800-volt platform and features the HuginCore software-defined architecture. Unlike traditional infotainment systems, Google Gemini serves as a central intelligence layer, enabling natural conversational interactions and seamless integration with Google services like Gmail and Calendar. The AI system supports complex voice commands, real-time processing across safety, navigation, and cabin systems, and will be enhanced over time via over-the-air updates, including future capabilities to interpret live 360-degree camera footage. The EX60 also introduces major improvements in electric vehicle performance and efficiency. It offers three powertrain variants: the entry-level P6 rear-wheel-drive with 374 hp and an 80 kWh battery (385 miles WLTP range), the dual-motor P10 AWD with 503 hp
