Volvo EX60: Price, Range & Everything You Need to Know

The automotive landscape is rapidly electrifying, and Volvo is firmly positioned at the forefront of this revolution. After a tantalizing teaser campaign, including an exclusive preview with GearTech, Volvo has officially unveiled its next all-electric vehicle: the EX60. This mid-size crossover promises a compelling blend of performance, range, and cutting-edge technology. We already knew about the potential for up to 400 miles of range (EPA estimate) and ultra-fast charging capabilities reaching 400kW. Last week’s reveal of the EX60’s powerful computer hardware, sourced from Nvidia and Qualcomm, highlighted its advanced driver-assistance systems and a new AI-powered personal assistant. Now, we have the complete technical specifications for all three EX60 powertrain variants, alongside the rugged EX60 Cross Country models.

Powertrain Options: P6, P10, and P12

Volvo is offering the EX60 with a range of powertrain options to suit different driving needs and budgets. Let's break down each variant:

EX60 P6: The Entry Point

The EX60 P6 serves as the entry-level model, featuring a single electric motor powering the rear wheels. It delivers a respectable 369 horsepower (275 kW) and 354 lb-ft (480 Nm) of torque. Equipped with an 80 kWh (usable) / 83 kWh (gross) battery pack, the P6 supports DC fast charging up to 320 kW, allowing for a 10-80% charge in as little as 18 minutes. Notably, the EX60 will be the first Volvo sold in the US with a built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, simplifying charging for owners. Range is estimated at 310 miles (490 km) with 20-inch wheels, decreasing to 300 miles (483 km) with 21-inch wheels and 290 miles (467 km) with 22-inch wheels. Acceleration from 0-60 mph takes 5.7 seconds, and, like all modern Volvos, it’s electronically limited to a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h).

EX60 P10 AWD: Stepping Up the Performance

The P10 AWD variant adds an electric motor to the front axle, creating an all-wheel-drive system. This boosts combined output to 503 horsepower (375 kW) and 524 lb-ft (710 Nm) of torque. The 0-60 mph sprint is reduced to 4.4 seconds. A larger 91 kWh (net) / 95 kWh (gross) battery pack provides a slightly extended range of 320 miles (515 km) with 20-inch wheels, dropping to 310 miles (499 km) with 21-inch wheels and 300 miles (483 km) with 22-inch wheels. Peak DC charging rates are increased to 370 kW, maintaining the 18-minute 10-80% charge time under optimal conditions.

EX60 P12 AWD: The Performance Leader

For those seeking maximum performance, the P12 AWD is the top-tier option. It delivers an impressive 670 horsepower (500 kW) and 583 lb-ft (790 Nm) of torque, propelling the EX60 from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The battery capacity is further increased to 112 kWh (usable) / 117 kWh (gross). While peak charging rates remain at 370 kW, the 10-80% charge time increases slightly to 19 minutes due to the larger battery capacity. Range is estimated at 400 miles (644 km) with 20-inch wheels, 390 miles (627 km) with 21-inch wheels, and 375 miles (603 km) with 22-inch wheels.

As Volvo Cars CEO Håkan Samuelsson stated, “The new, all-electric EX60 changes the game in terms of range, charging, and price and represents a new beginning for Volvo Cars and our customers.” He further emphasized the innovative technologies employed, including mega-casting, cell-to-body technology, and core computing.

Introducing the EX60 Cross Country: Adventure-Ready

Adding a touch of ruggedness to the EX60 lineup is the new Cross Country variant. Building on Volvo’s heritage of all-weather capability, the EX60 Cross Country features a 0.8-inch (20 mm) increased ride height, with an optional air suspension system that can raise it an additional 20 mm. It also boasts a wider track, protective wheel arch cladding, and underbody skid plates, signaling its readiness for unpaved roads.

While most drivers won’t regularly tackle challenging terrain, the increased suspension travel and softer setup significantly improve ride comfort on rough city streets, as demonstrated by previous Cross Country models like the V60 wagon.

According to Volvo Chief Commercial Officer Erik Severinson, “The EX60 Cross Country is the EX60 for anyone with a ‘go anywhere’ attitude.” He highlights its blend of exploration and achievement, emphasizing Volvo’s pioneering role in this segment.

The EX60 Cross Country is available in both P10 AWD and P12 AWD configurations, maintaining the same power outputs and battery capacities as their standard counterparts. However, the modifications result in a slightly increased drag coefficient (0.26 to 0.27) and a larger frontal area, impacting range. The EX60 Cross Country P10 AWD achieves a range of 300 miles (483 km) on 21-inch wheels with all-season tires. Range figures for the EX60 Cross Country P12 AWD are still pending.

Dimensions and Interior Space

The Volvo EX60 boasts the following dimensions:

• Length: 189.1 inches (4,803 mm)
• Width: 74.8 inches (1,900 mm)
• Height: 64.5 inches (1,638 mm)
• Wheelbase: 116.9 inches (2,969 mm)

Inside, the EX60 offers ample storage space and comfortable seating. Rear passengers benefit from 37.4 inches (950 mm) of legroom. The frunk provides an additional 3 cubic feet (85 L) of storage. The cabin is equipped with the latest version of Volvo’s Android Automotive OS-based infotainment system, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience.

Pricing and Availability

Volvo has announced that a “really well-equipped” EX60 will start “around $60,000.” Initially, the P6 and P10 AWD variants will be available in Plus and Ultra trims. The entry-level Core trim will be added for select models in the future. The high-performance P12 AWD will join the production line later in 2026.

Production of the EX60 begins in April, with deliveries expected shortly thereafter. The EX60 represents a significant step forward for Volvo, combining impressive range, fast charging, advanced technology, and a compelling price point. It’s a strong contender in the rapidly growing electric SUV market and a testament to Volvo’s commitment to a sustainable future.
