ECARX Powers Launch of the Volvo XC70 Hybrid Mid-Size Luxury SUV
SHANGHAI, Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECARX (Nasdaq: ECX), a global mobility technology provider, today announced that its Antora® 1000 Pro computing platform and Cloudpeak® cross-domain software stack will power the intelligent cockpit of the Volvo XC70 hybrid mid-size luxury SUV. XC70 made its global debut and officially began pre-sales on August 27, 2025, becoming the first model to feature Volvo's SMA super hybrid architecture.
Guided by Volvo's safety philosophy, ECARX and Volvo worked closely throughout the development and lifecycle of XC70. This collaboration covered every aspect of the model design and development, including hardware design, system architecture, operating systems, HMI, application ecosystem, functional safety, informational security, and quality control. By embedding AI-powered features such as multi-zone voice recognition, personalized driving-scenario automation and intuitive 2D-line plus 3D-rendered UI designs, ECARX enables premium automakers to differentiate their offerings, provide seamless and effortless human-machine interaction, and redefine the in-vehicle user experience.
Volvo emphasized a minimalist design for XC70, distinguishing it from the more complex interfaces commonly seen in premium vehicles. This approach aims to enhance the simplicity and elegance of its design, delivering a more intuitive and refined user experience.
Ziyu Shen, Chairman and CEO of ECARX, commented, “Supporting the launch of XC70 marks another significant milestone following the successful global launch of Volvo EX30 across more than 100 countries in 2023. This achievement demonstrates the maturity and rapidly expanding global deployment of our intelligent cockpit solutions among premium automotive brands. By continually innovating and drawing on our extensive experience in end-to-end development, we are better equipped that even to support automakers around the world.”
