U.S.A will be the first to see Volvos with Google Gemini

Volvo and Google have announced that the Google Gemini function will now begin rolling out to Volvo cars.

Moving beyond fixed voice commands, Gemini introduces an intuitive, intent-based experience where the car can understand natural conversation, context, and the driver's needs.

This rollout will begin with a first wave of customers in the U.S.A (an active internet connection in their car and a U.S.A English Google Account is required), before scaling across the country and into additional markets in the weeks ahead.

Volvo has said that the Google Gemini function will be introduced to the following models with Google built in and dating back to 2020. These include the C40, EC40, XC40, S60, V60, V60CC, XC60, V90, V90CC, S90, XC90, EX90, ES90, EX30, and EX60.

The brand has also said that availability of the features and services mentioned above may vary by market and differ depending on subscription.
