Overview
- The rollout, which began Friday in the U.S., covers Volvo models from 2020 onward and will expand to additional markets in the coming weeks.
- Drivers can speak naturally to plan routes, find stops through Google Maps, hear message summaries or send replies, and control music without memorizing commands.
- The software arrives through over‑the‑air updates that build on Volvo’s recent infotainment overhaul, so existing cars receive the new assistant without a dealership visit.
- Volvo and Google say the system aims to make interactions more natural and less distracting, though availability and timing will vary by market.
- Volvo was named Google’s lead in‑car development partner in 2025, and Google signals further growth ahead with more regions, languages, and deeper vehicle integrations.
