Overview
- The SPA3 architecture debuts on the EX60 and allows battery modules to move ahead of the windscreen, with more than 7 kWh shifted forward to open up interior space.
- Engineers can depopulate cells in the rear footwell and create “foot garages,” lowering seat positions and enabling sleeker rooflines compared with SPA2-based models.
- Volvo has not confirmed an electric wagon, though leaders signal the platform can support sedans and estates if demand warrants.
- Volvo’s wagon lineup is winding down, with the V90 already ended in 2025 and the final V60 Cross Country scheduled to finish U.S. production in April 2026.
- Rivals already offer electric wagons in Europe, including the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer, BMW i5 Touring, Audi A6 Avant e-tron, and Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.
