Volvo is expanding its electric vehicle lineup with the EX60, a new crossover SUV designed to compete in the rapidly growing EV market. This vehicle isn’t just another electric model; it represents Volvo’s commitment to high-performance, long-range driving, and Scandinavian design aesthetics.
Performance and Trims
The EX60 will be available in three distinct configurations: the entry-level P6, the mid-range P10, and the high-performance P12. The P6 features a single rear motor producing 369 horsepower, while the P10 and P12 variants offer all-wheel drive with 503 and 670 horsepower, respectively. For those seeking a more rugged option, Volvo will release a Cross Country trim in 2028, boasting increased ride height and off-road styling cues.

Range and Charging
The EX60 prioritizes long-distance capability, with an estimated maximum range of up to 400 miles on the top-tier P12 model. Battery packs range from 80 kWh to 112 kWh, depending on the trim. Charging times are competitive: 10% to 80% can be achieved in approximately 18 minutes using a DC fast charger. The EX60 is also equipped with a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, granting access to Tesla’s Supercharger network.

The cabin is designed for practicality, with slide-out cupholders, hidden storage compartments, and wireless charging pads.
Cargo space is competitive, with 20.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 64.3 cubic feet when folded flat. A small frunk (front trunk) provides an additional 3.0 cubic feet of storage.
Safety Features
Volvo’s reputation for safety extends to the EX60, which comes standard with advanced driver-assistance features. These include automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and Pilot Assist, combining adaptive cruise control and lane-centering for semi-autonomous driving.
