Discover the all‑new Volvo EX60 electric SUV – performance, range, interior and pricing details. Learn more now!
After months of anticipation, Volvo has finally rolled out the brand‑new EX60 – a compact, fully electric SUV that builds on the popular XC60 platform while embracing a zero‑emission future. Positioned to take on rivals such as the Mercedes‑Benz GLC EQ and BMW iX3, the EX60 blends Scandinavian design with cutting‑edge technology.
Design and Exterior Styling
The EX60 shares Volvo’s signature clean lines but drops the traditional front grille for a sleek, aerodynamically‑optimised nose. Instead, a large illuminated Volvo logo and a pixel‑styled “Thor’s Hammer” LED light strip dominate the front fascia, giving the model a futuristic look.
Measuring 4,803 mm long, 2,067 mm wide and 1,635 mm high with a 2,970 mm wheelbase, the EX60 is slightly larger than its ICE‑powered cousin, the XC60. Wheel options range from 21‑inch to 22‑inch alloys, and all paint finishes – apart from the standard Ice White – cost about €990 (≈ $1,160).
Small aerodynamic winglets on the door frames help achieve a drag coefficient of just 0.26, while the rear light cluster is minimalist, lacking the horizontal strip seen on the XC60 and EX90. Ground clearance sits at 178 mm.
Interior, Cabin Space and Technology
Inside, Volvo has taken a bold step forward. The traditional 10‑inch driver display is replaced by a compact digital cluster, while a 15.1‑inch horizontal OLED touchscreen serves as the central infotainment hub.
The steering wheel gets a fresh, flat‑bottom design with tactile buttons that can be operated without looking down. Upholting choices include synthetic Nordico leather, premium Nappa leather, or a wool‑blend fabric, available in Charcoal Black, Cardamom Brown or Dawn White.
Standard interior trim features a brushed ash‑gray wood veneer on the dashboard, with high‑quality nap‑lined surfaces on the door panels and central console for a premium feel.
Trunk capacity starts at 523 L and expands to a maximum of 1,647 L with the rear seats folded. An additional hidden storage compartment beneath the hood provides 58‑85 L of extra space.
Powertrain, Performance and Driving Dynamics
The EX60 will launch with three powertrain options:
- P6 RWD – 374 hp (280 kW) and 480 Nm, 0‑100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.
- P10 AWD – 510 hp (380 kW) and 710 Nm, 0‑100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.
- P12 AWD – 680 hp (500 kW) and 790 Nm, 0‑100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
Both AWD versions weigh around 2,400 kg, while the rear‑wheel‑drive model is about 2,000 kg.
Battery, Charging and Range
All three variants support ultra‑fast 400 kW charging, adding roughly 278 km of usable range after a 10‑minute charge. According to WLTP testing, the estimated ranges are:
- P6: 620 km
- P10: 660 km
- P12: 810 km
The EX60 uses Volvo’s HuginCore architecture, combining a structural battery pack with a mega‑cast body shell and a bespoke electric motor developed in‑house.
Pricing, Availability and Market Positioning
In Germany, the entry‑level EX60 Plus starts at €62,990 (≈ $73,640). The top‑end Ultra trim is priced at €69,790 (≈ $81,590). Adding the P10 AWD powertrain costs an extra €3,000 (≈ $3,510), while the high‑performance P12 AWD option adds €9,000 (≈ $10,520).
For North American buyers, Volvo will equip the model with a NACS charging port compatible with Tesla’s Supercharger network, ensuring broader fast‑charging access.
What This Means for the EV Market
With its blend of Scandinavian elegance, solid performance figures and competitive pricing, the Volvo EX60 positions the brand as a serious contender in the compact electric SUV segment. Its use of shared SPA3 platform components from Geely also underscores Volvo’s strategy of leveraging global partnerships to accelerate EV development.
Enthusiasts and early adopters can expect the EX60 to hit showrooms later this year, offering a compelling alternative for those who value safety, design and sustainability in a single package.
