What is the story about?
Volvo Cars is all set for the global debut of its all-new Volvo EX60 on January 21, 2026 and this mid-size electric SUV is not just another EV launch,
but it marks a major milestone for Volvo as the first brand electric vehicle to debut with Google’s new AI assistant, Gemini.
Volvo EX60 EV - A Car You Can Talk To Like A Human?
The highlight of the EX60 is Google Gemini which is an advanced AI assistant that allows drivers to have natural, conversational interactions with the car. And instead of using fixed voice commands, drivers can speak normally, just like talking to another person, which means you can ask the EX60 to find an address from your email, plan a road trip, check whether luggage will fit in the boot or even brainstorm ideas and all without taking your eyes off the road.
Gemini is deeply integrated into the vehicle and works hands-free which helps in reducing distraction and making everyday driving safer and more comfortable. This builds on nearly a decade of collaboration between Volvo and Google.
Volvo EX60 EV - HuginCore, The Brain
The Volvo EX60 is equipped with a brand-new core system called HuginCore which is named after a bird from Norse mythology. This is the first time Volvo has officially named its vehicle “brain.” HuginCore is a combination of the car’s electrical architecture, core computer, zone controllers and software into one intelligent system. HuginCore allows the EX60 to continuously improve through over-the-air updates.Also Read: Mahindra XUV 3XO FAQ Explained: Variants, Features, Skyroof, Infotainment and Colours
