Volvo is reportedly developing new electric sedan and wagon models that could go on sale in the United States by 2028. These vehicles are expected to be built in Europe and based on Volvo’s latest SPA3 platform.
New Models for Europe and Possibly the U.S.
According to Automotive News, Volvo is working on an electric sedan and wagon primarily for the European market. However, the company is considering bringing these models to the U.S. as well. The move would reintroduce station wagons to the American market, where Volvo currently offers none following the discontinuation of the V60 and V90 after 2026.
Details and Platform
The new electric vehicles will share the SPA3 platform used by the forthcoming EX60 SUV. Pricing is expected to start around the low €50,000 range (approximate conversion from low-$50,000). Production will take place in Europe.
- Based on SPA3 platform
- Likely priced starting near €50,000
- Manufactured in Europe
- Possible 60- or 70-series badging
- Potential sedan name: ES60
- Possible wagon versions: EV60 and a rugged Cross Country variant
Market Expectations and Timing
Volvo reportedly does not expect large sales volumes in the U.S., targeting about 10,000 units annually combined for both models. If the company proceeds, the models could arrive on U.S. roads in 2028. Volvo has declined to comment on these plans.
Why It Matters
This news suggests a possible comeback for Volvo’s station wagons, especially in the U.S. market where such models have become rare. With growing interest in electric vehicles and a shift away from SUVs alone, Volvo’s new sedan and wagon could appeal to buyers seeking more variety and practicality in electric vehicles within the next five years.
