SPA3
Scalable Product Architecture 3Volvo's third generation of SPA is a dedicated 800V EV skateboard — not a further-developed combustion platform, but a newly designed floor with a central computer and the battery as a load-bearing part. The EX60 opens the range as Volvo's answer in the mid-class SUV segment; Polestar follows later on the same base. Important for remarketing: this is a fresh architecture, so with early cars watch the software version and remaining factory warranty.
SPA3 is the EV platform of Geely Group, in production since 2026, with a 800V architecture. The SPA3 platform carries 2 models from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on SPA3 runs from 620 to 810 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
