Thinking about a Volvo EX40 as your next EV and wondering if it might be gone by the time you are ready to sign? Multiple reports now say Volvo is lining up a new EX50 compact SUV for the United States, a model that would be taller and longer than the EX40 yet positioned as the brand's most affordable electric option.
According to Automotive News, the Volvo EX50 is targeted for US showrooms in fall 2027 and is expected to replace the EX40 as Volvo's entry-level EV, with a starting price in the high $40,000s instead of the EX40's mid-$50,000s sticker. That means shoppers and fleet planners need to think about timing, incentives, and lease terms with an eye on a crossover that does not officially exist yet but is already reshaping Volvo's EV roadmap.
