Volvo will build a new, next-gen hybrid in South Carolina<\/h2>\n

Volvo has big plans to revamp the brand and entice buyers in the US. It will all begin at Volvo\u2019s plant, located just outside of Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

After pouring $1.3 billion into the facility over the past decade, the Swedish automaker wants to make full use of its sole US plant.<\/p>\n

Two electric vehicles are currently built at the facility: the three-row Volvo EX90 SUV and the Polestar 3. However, that will soon change.<\/p>\n

In June, Volvo announced that it would build its best-selling vehicle<\/a>, the XC60, at the facility, starting in late 2026. The XC60 will be available as both a mild hybrid and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), which Volvo claims will offer \u201csomething for everyone in its US plant.\u201d<\/p>\n

After doubling down on the facility with additional investments<\/a> planned, Volvo announced that another new model would be added to the lineup.<\/p>\n

Volvo said it will add \u201ca new next-generation hybrid model\u201d in SC by the end of the decade. The new, next-gen hybrid is \u201cdesigned to meet the specific demands of the US market,\u201d the Swedish automaker confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Charleston plant is foundational to our strategic growth plan for the US,\u201d according to Luis Rezende, Volvo Cars\u2019 president of Americas. Rezende explained that \u201cBy adding another model into production here, we\u2019ll take a big step toward realising the full potential of our local manufacturing investments and workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new hybrid vehicle is part of Volvo\u2019s strategy to gain market share by focusing on each region with custom vehicles, tech, manufacturing, and more.<\/p>\n

Volvo also opened orders for the upgraded 2026 EX90<\/a> on Monday, which now features faster charging, added features, and increased computing power. The upgrade is also available for current 2025 EX90 owners.<\/p>\n
