Volvo EX60 SUV Debuts with Pre-Installed Apple Music and Spatial Audio

Volvo is raising the bar for in-car entertainment with its new EX60 mid-size electric SUV. The vehicle now comes with a pre-installed Apple Music app, including support for Dolby Atmos, delivering a truly immersive Spatial Audio experience. Drivers can enjoy seamless music streaming directly from the car’s infotainment system, without needing Apple CarPlay.

The EX60’s integration of Apple Music makes it easy for subscribers to access their playlists, albums, and spatial tracks without extra devices. Volvo’s move ensures a premium audio experience for tech-savvy drivers who prioritize convenience and entertainment while on the road.

Apple Music Comes Pre-Installed for Seamless Access

Unlike previous Volvo models, the EX60 provides Apple Music as a built-in app, accessible via the car’s infotainment system. This means that even users who don’t rely on CarPlay can enjoy their favorite tracks, playlists, and podcasts. All that’s required is an active Apple Music subscription, making it simple for passengers to dive into rich, high-quality sound.

Spatial Audio, powered by Dolby Atmos, enhances the listening experience with three-dimensional sound. Music doesn’t just play—it surrounds you, creating a more dynamic and immersive environment, perfect for long drives or city commutes.

AI-Driven Infotainment with HuginCore and Gemini Integration

Volvo’s EX60 isn’t just about audio—it’s a showcase of advanced in-car technology. The SUV features Volvo’s HuginCore system, a platform integrating AI and technology from Google, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. At the heart of this system is Google Gemini, enabling natural language commands to control various vehicle functions, from navigation to climate settings.

With Gemini integration, drivers can speak naturally to operate the car. Whether adjusting the music, asking for directions, or managing vehicle settings, Volvo’s AI aims to make driving safer and more intuitive.

CarPlay Support Remains for Apple Ecosystem Users

While the EX60 introduces built-in Apple Music, Volvo continues to support Wireless Apple CarPlay. Users can effortlessly connect their iPhone to the infotainment system to access Apple apps, music, and navigation. This dual approach ensures flexibility for drivers, whether they prefer Apple Music directly in the system or through CarPlay.

Additionally, Volvo adds convenience with Digital Key Plus, allowing the EX60 to be unlocked and started using an iPhone or Apple Watch. This feature eliminates the need for a traditional key and enhances vehicle accessibility for Apple device users.

European Launch and US Availability

Volvo has started selling the EX60 in European markets, with US availability expected in spring. Early orders are set to be delivered during the summer, giving drivers the opportunity to experience the SUV’s cutting-edge audio, AI features, and seamless Apple integration firsthand.

The EX60 positions Volvo at the forefront of in-car technology, combining sustainable electric performance with advanced digital experiences. For drivers seeking an electric SUV that merges entertainment, AI convenience, and Apple ecosystem compatibility, the EX60 sets a new standard.
