Volvo Brings Back the Wagon in 2028.

Volvo is actually working on a brand new wagon. It will be a new EV sharing its platform and most everything else with the new sedan also due out in 2028. A new wagon is really a no brainer for the Volvo brand in the US. However, sales of the last one had really fallen in the past few years.

Things don’t look good right now for Volvo EVs in the US. they canceled the really cool EX30 last year, just when it was starting to be finally available. Then the whole Polestar brand was forbidden to sell cars in the US. And yet, the new EX60 seems to be off with a strong start with great reviews so far. And not we hear about a brand new sedan and wagon. And both will be new EVs. 

Apparently, development is pretty advance already and these two could be on sale in 2028. Both would be based on Volvo’s SPA3 platform, which is already used for the new EX60 SUV. Having more body styles sharing the new platform does make sense. And a wagon and a sedan would be a logical move for the Volvo brand. Especially in the US since Polestar is gone.

As we all now, EVs have been having a tougher time in the US than anywhere else, but sales are actually up for many manufacturers. Even without any incentives. Volvo could do pretty well with the wagon in the US. the brand is only hoping to sell around 10,000 units a year of the new cars. Which seems a pretty reasonable goal.

Both models are rumored to start at around $50,000. Which is about $10,000 less than the new EX60 SUV. And not a bad deal at all. Volvo might be, at least for a while, the only player in the EV wagon in North America. A $50,000 base price would actually be replacing the V60 Cross Country wagon in Volvo’s US lineup.
