Volvo Cars Launches the Largest Over-the-Air (OTA) Software Update in Automotive History Volvo Cars is rolling out a massive software update to 2.5 million vehicles across 85 countries, delivering a completely refreshed and more intuitive user experience (Volvo Car UX). Key highlights of the update: * Intuitive Interface: A new central display layout that reduces the number of taps to reach core functions like navigation and media—keeping everything you need right on the home screen. * Free Upgrade for All: Owners of Volvo models with Google built-in (dating back to 2020) will receive this update free of charge, ensuring older models like the XC40 benefit from the same tech as the flagship EX90. * AI-Ready: This update paves the way for a conversational AI experience with Google Gemini, set to roll out to eligible vehicles later this spring. * Efficiency for Hybrids: Plug-in hybrid drivers can now switch to "Pure" electric mode with just a single tap on the home screen. This move reinforces Volvo’s strategy to make its cars "better over time" through continuous software innovation and a "human-centric" design philosophy
