"The update is meant to bring the same functionality found on the automaker's latest models and is intended for cars built in or after 2020 that were fitted with a Google-based infotainment system. To ensure that the new Volvo Car UX delivers an exceptional experience on all 2.5 million eligible Volvo modelsregardless of market, model year, or hardware versionwe now plan to release the new software early next year, rather than in 2025 as previously stated, a Volvo Car USA representative exclusively told InsideEVs."
"To be clear, cars that have the Sensus infotainment system are not eligible for this update. Instead, vehicles that were shipped with the first iteration of Volvo's Android Automotive OS infotainment system are part of the listif your car has a traditional touchscreen with a home button at the bottom and lacks a physical drive mode selector, then you're in for the 2026-bound update."
"One of the biggest improvements brought by the latest software version is linked to that digital drive mode selector. Currently, Volvo ownersmyself includedhave to press the touchscreen three times to change the driving mode, which is particularly annoying on the automaker's plug-in hybrids, where one might want to change the drive mode multiple times during a trip."
Volvo delayed a major over-the-air infotainment update slated for roughly 2.5 million cars built in 2020 or later that use the Google-based Android Automotive OS. The update will bring the Volvo Car UX experience found on the 2025 XC90, but without the larger screen or the more powerful processor. The rollout is rescheduled for early next year instead of 2025. Vehicles with the original Android Automotive system are eligible, while cars with the Sensus system are excluded. The update aims to deliver a consistent experience across markets, model years, and hardware versions and improves the digital drive mode selector workflow.
