Volvo has started building the EX60 at its Torslanda plant in Sweden, but the electric SUV is barely trickling into US showrooms. The automaker's reported output sits at 200 vehicles per week, a fraction of the original plan.

Dealers who expected meaningful inventory this year are being told to wait. Early units have landed stateside, but Volvo has reportedly warned its US retail network that real volume will not show up until well into 2027.

Volvo reportedly aimed to build around 2,000 EX60s per week when it kicked off series production at the upgraded Torslanda factory in late April. That target would have supported an initial US first-year goal of 7,000 vehicles, according to dealer guidance cited by Automotive News.

Reality has fallen far short. Output has reportedly run at roughly a tenth of the original pace leaving US dealers with only a handful of vehicles to sell while demand for the SUV builds.

Volvo spokesperson Jacquelyn Johnson said short-term supply would stay limited and that many vehicles already allocated to US dealers are expected to arrive early in 2027. That is a notably softer timeline than the thousands of vehicles buyers were promised for this year.

The EX60 carries real weight for Volvo's American ambitions. It is central to the brand's push toward 200,000 annual US retail sales by 2030, a goal that gets harder to hit every month the SUV stays scarce on dealer lots.

Industry reporting traces the bottleneck to problems integrating the high-voltage battery pack with the body and to electric-motor production at Torslanda.
