The EX60 isn’t about flashy gimmicks. It’s about making electric ownership feel effortless, familiar, and genuinely better than combustion alternatives.
The EX60 represents a massive leap forward for Volvo Cars. Built on an all-new architecture, this mid-size SUV is designed to remove the remaining obstacles to going electric. Whether you are looking for a tech-heavy daily driver or a rugged companion for the road less traveled, here is everything you need to know about Volvo’s latest masterpiece.

Volvo EX60: A New Benchmark for Electric Mid-Size SUVs
At first glance, the Volvo EX60 fits neatly into the premium mid-size SUV category. Look closer, and it becomes clear that Volvo has designed this car to dominate it.
Built on Volvo’s brand-new SPA3 electric architecture, the EX60 is engineered from the ground up as an EV. There are no compromises carried over from combustion platforms, and it shows in everything from packaging to performance.
Class-Leading Range That Ends Anxiety for Good
Range anxiety has been one of the final mental barriers for many would-be EV buyers. Volvo attacks that problem head-on. The headline statistic for the Volvo EX60 is undeniable: it offers a best-in-class range of up to 810 kilometers on a single charge in its all-wheel-drive configuration. This doesn’t just beat previous Volvo models; it sets a new standard for the electric mid-size SUV segment, outperforming recently revealed competitors.
This efficiency is powered by the SPA3 architecture, Volvo’s new electric vehicle platform. Through innovations like mega casting, cell-to-body technology, and a new battery cell design, Volvo has managed to boost energy efficiency while significantly reducing weight.
When you do need to stop, it won’t be for long. The EX60 supports lightning-fast charging, capable of adding 340km of range in just 10 minutes using a 400kW fast charger. As Volvo puts it, a quick coffee stop is all it takes to hit the road again, effectively turning “range anxiety into range comfort”.
In real-world terms, the Volvo EX60 makes electric driving feel normal. Even easy.
Performance Options for Real-World Lifestyles
Volvo hasn’t gone overboard with confusing trims. Instead, the EX60 lineup is clearly structured around how people actually drive.
- P6 Electric (RWD) – efficient, refined, and ideal for urban and suburban use
- P10 AWD Electric – balanced performance and traction for all conditions
- P12 AWD Electric – maximum range and power, built for long-distance confidence
Across the range, instant torque, smooth acceleration, and refined ride quality define the driving experience. This is a family SUV first, but one that never feels slow or detached.
Scandinavian Design That Works as Hard as It Looks
The Volvo EX60 continues Volvo’s minimalist design philosophy, but adapts it perfectly for the electric age.
Exterior: Clean, Confident, Efficient
Visually, the EX60 is an evolution of Volvo’s Scandinavian design principles for the electric era. It features a low front, a sloping roofline, and tapered body sides, achieving a highly competitive drag coefficient of 0.26, which plays a major role in its massive range. Every surface on the EX60 has a purpose.
- Low front profile to reduce drag
- Sloping roofline for aerodynamic efficiency
- Tapered body sides that improve airflow
- Drag coefficient of just 0.26, contributing directly to its class-leading range
It looks modern without trying too hard, confident without aggression. Exactly what you’d expect from Volvo.
Interior: Calm, Spacious, Thoughtfully Premium
Inside, the EX60 feels unmistakably Scandinavian, the cabin focuses on versatility and calm.
- Flat floor and long wheelbase create generous rear legroom
- Large luggage compartment with smart storage solutions
- Natural materials that feel premium without excess
- A calm, uncluttered layout designed to reduce cognitive load
This is an interior designed to make long drives less tiring and daily life more pleasant. For audiophiles, the EX60 offers a premium 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, which includes headrest speakers in all four main seats for the first time. It is also the first Volvo to come pre-installed with Apple Music featuring Dolby Atmos.
The Most Intelligent Volvo Ever Built
If the EX60’s range grabs your attention, its technology keeps it. While the hardware is impressive, the software inside the Volvo EX60 is where the vehicle truly feels alive. The car is powered by Hugin Core, a centralized computing system named after one of Odin’s ravens in Norse mythology, symbolizing “thought”. This system consolidates the car’s electrical architecture, allowing it to “think, process, and act” faster than any Volvo before it.
Meet Gemini: A Car You Can Actually Talk To
The EX60 is the first Volvo to launch with Gemini, Google’s advanced AI assistant. Unlike stiff voice command systems of the past, Gemini allows for natural, multi-turn conversations. You don’t need to memorize specific commands; you can simply brainstorm road trip ideas, find a hotel booking in your email, or ask if a recent purchase will fit in the trunk.
You can:
- Ask it to find addresses from your emails
- Check if something fits in the trunk
- Plan trips conversationally
- Control navigation, climate, media, and vehicle settings hands-free
It understands context, remembers conversation flow, and feels more like talking to a helpful passenger than issuing commands to a machine.
Powered by HuginCore
At the heart of the EX60 is HuginCore, Volvo’s new core computing system.
This software-defined platform:
- Processes over 250 trillion operations per second
- Integrates NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin, Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, and Google systems
- Enables real-time safety analysis and AI-powered features
- Supports continuous over-the-air updates
The result is the most responsive infotainment system Volvo has ever produced. Screens react instantly. Maps load without delay. Everything feels fast, fluid, and quietly sophisticated.
Safety, Taken to the Next Level
It wouldn’t be a Volvo without a pioneering approach to safety. The EX60 features a safety cage strengthened with boron steel and utilizes a wide array of sensors to constantly assess the surroundings.
The EX60 represents the purest expression of Volvo’s safety philosophy to date.
- Advanced sensor suite constantly monitors surroundings
- Multi-adaptive safety belt adjusts protection based on occupant and scenario
- Reinforced safety cage with boron steel
- AI-assisted driver support that learns from real-world data
Furthermore, the car is designed to improve over time. With over-the-air updates enabled by the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack, the safety systems and AI capabilities will learn from the fleet’s collective driving experiences, including accidents and near-misses.
The Adventurer: Volvo EX60 Cross Country
For those who demand more capability, Volvo simultaneously unveiled the Volvo EX60 Cross Country. This model carries the torch of the Cross For drivers who want more than city streets and highways, Volvo offers something special.
The Volvo EX60 Cross Country takes everything that makes the EX60 great and adds genuine go-anywhere capability.
A True Cross Country, Not Just a Styling Package
Volvo invented the Cross Country segment back in 1997, and the EX60 Cross Country carries that heritage forward into the electric era.
Key upgrades include:
- Ride height increased by 20 mm over the standard EX60
- Optional air suspension adds another 20 mm when needed
- Exclusive Cross Country wheels
- Brushed stainless steel skid plates front and rear
- Wider, rugged wheel arches
- Distinct Cross Country branding
- Exclusive Frost Green exterior color inspired by Scandinavian nature
This isn’t just about looks. The added ground clearance and adaptive suspension deliver real-world benefits on rough roads, snow, gravel, and trails.
Powertrains Built for Exploration
The EX60 Cross Country launches with all-wheel-drive options only.
- P10 AWD Electric with up to 640 km of range
- P12 AWD Electric arriving later with extended range
The air suspension can also lower the vehicle at highway speeds, improving aerodynamics and maximizing efficiency when adventure gives way to long-distance cruising.
Powertrains, Pricing, and Availability
The Volvo EX60 lineup is designed to cover various needs with three distinct powertrain options:
- P12 AWD Electric: The range king, offering up to 810km.
- P10 AWD Electric: A balanced all-rounder with up to 660km range.
- P6 Electric: A rear-wheel-drive variant delivering up to 620km range.
When can you get one? The EX60 is available for order now in European markets, with the US order books opening in late spring 2026. Production begins this spring at Volvo’s factory in Sweden, with deliveries for the P6 and P10 variants starting this summer, followed closely by the P12.
In a bold move to sweeten the deal, Swedish customers will receive three years of free home charging (subject to specific conditions), an offer Volvo plans to roll out to other markets eventually.
Ownership Made Simple
Volvo has clearly thought about the ownership experience, not just the product.
- Transparent pricing and simplified ordering
- Pre-configured models available for faster delivery
- Fully customized builds for those willing to wait
- 10-year battery warranty
- Complimentary home charging incentives in select markets
The goal is simple: remove friction at every stage of EV ownership.
