Volvo refreshes 2026 EV range for the US

Volvo Car USA has just shared all of the new upgrades and models in its 2026 electric vehicle lineup in the US. There's the new 800V architecture for the EX90, of course, but also the arrival of the EX30 Cross Country and Single Motor variants to the US market.

As we’ve previously covered, the major change to Volvo’s EV lineup is the introduction of 800-volt architecture. electrive reported in September that the new EX90 would feature an 800V electrical system to enable faster charging, with enough power for 250km in 10 minutes.

Additionally, new Nvidia Drive AGX Orin chips are on their way, providing significant additional compute power for assistance systems. These changes aren’t unique to Volvo; they’re also being brought in for other Geely-subsidiary vehicles on the SPA2 platform, such as the Polestar 3. And, just as in Europe, owners of the 2025 EX90 will be able to upgrade to the new Orin chip at no extra charge.

So, nothing new here when it comes to the EX90 for the US market, but there are a few new introductions. The EX30 Single Motor is going to be sold in the US for the first time. Sold in Europe since its launch, it hasn’t ever made it to the States – until now. It’s got an EPA-estimated range of up to 261 miles; it can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 28 minutes; plus it’s Volvo’s smallest eSUV. Prices start at $38,950 with the Plus equipment level.

Then there’s the EX30 Cross Country. Introduced in February 2025, the visually more robust cross-country version of the EX30 uses the familiar all-wheel drive with two electric motors and 315kW of power – plus Volvo’s top end Ultra equipment.

The drive system remains the same as the top-of-the-range EX30 Ultra model. In addition to the system output of 315 kW, the electric vehicle has a battery with a net capacity of 64 kWh on board, which should provide a range of 427 kilometres. The all-wheel drive vehicle completes the sprint from zero to 100 kph in 3.6 seconds. The model can be charged with 153 kW DC and 22 kW AC. In the States, it will only be available as the Twin Motor Ultra model with a starting price of $48,150.

The XC40 Recharge is also being renamed to the EX40 in the US. The RWD will start at ~$54k and the AWD at ~$56k. The Ultra AWD will approach $65k. They really need to launch the EX60. These are the prices we should see on the EX60 with the new iX3 & GLC-IQ coming the EX40 needs to have a price drop or be dropped altogether.
