Volvo Cars to roll out 10 new, updated models by 2026, hybrids on the table

Volvo Cars is gearing up to roll out an entire wave of new and updated models after having scaled back their ambitions for a 100 per cent EV lineup by 2030. Over the next two years, the Swedish automaker is planning to launch 10 models, which include completely new models as well as updated or electrified variants of older ones. Volvo Cars CEO Jim Rowan reportedly revealed its revised roadmap during a September 17 meeting with its US and Canadian retailers.
Volvo Cars had initially set the aim of having a completely EV-only portfolio by 2030, but it was pushed back due to fears about charging infrastructure and government incentives. The aim now requires 90-100 percent of global sales to be electrified, with the remaining 10 per cent allocated for a small number of hybrid vehicles if necessary.
After revealing the revised goal earlier this month, Volvo had announced plans to launch five new EVs based on its Superset tech stack. The plan has now been expanded to include five additional models, with the entire lineup scheduled to have rolled out by 2026.
