ECARX Tech Powers Volvo's New XC70 Hybrid With AI Cockpit and Sleek Minimalist Design

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.
