In a surprise move, Volvo's Chief Strategy and Product Officer Michael Fleiss has hinted that the company is not done with wagons after all. Despite having killed its entire lineup of wagons in the US market over the last few years, Fleiss stated that wagons are a strong segment and that aerodynamics is more important than ever with the electric era.
The Swedish automaker is known for wagons, and Fleiss believes that Volvo has a great chance to compete with its fantastic electric system on the SPA3 platform in this kind of car. China is also seeing a resurgence in wagon popularity, making it an attractive market for Volvo to expand into.
With long-range plug-in hybrids on the way alongside new EVs, it's clear that any new Volvo wagon will probably be electrified. While Fleiss wouldn't give a timeline as to when we might see the return of Volvo wagons, his comments suggest that the company is still committed to this segment.
As enthusiasts should not lose hope, it seems that Volvo has not forgotten what it's about - building cars that people love and that excel in their respective segments. With the 2027 EX60 on the horizon, fans are eagerly awaiting any news on the future of wagons at Volvo.
It appears that Volvo is taking a cautious approach to reviving its wagon lineup, focusing on electrification and aerodynamics to stay competitive in a changing market. This strategy suggests that the company is committed to understanding consumer preferences and adapting to emerging trends.
