Volvo EX60 redefines electric mobility for the Swedish brand. Not the usual announcement written by the marketing division but a long list of innovations brought to debut by the medium electric suv and ready to be implemented on future models of the Swedish brand but also on those already in production thanks to Over the Air updates.

Volvo EX60 Autonomy

 

How does it become the electric Volvo with the longest range? Thanks to a combination of technologies, construction techniques and above all a manufacturing approach that is completely different from that of an endothermic car. Because the Volvo EX60 manages to exceed a range of 800 kilometres, thanks to a lightweight body constructed using the Megacasting technique, i.e. a single large aluminium casting that combines a long list of components in a single mould, an 800 Volt grid, a 117 kWh cell-to-body battery integrated into the chassis and a hardware and software structure capable of making it a true ultimate car.

 

Volvo EX60 charging times

 

If the available range can say goodbye to all anxiety, the announced recharging times promise a total paradigm shift for an electric Volvo. Because thanks to the 800 volt grid, they can be recharged at 22 kW AC and up to 370 kW AC on the P12. Power that translates into just 19 minutes to a range of 340 kilometres. Fuel consumption is also low, with an average of 15 kWh/100 km. All this is made possible by making the most of the on-board technology, capable of arriving at the pillar with the battery at the correct temperature.

 

Volvo EX60, Gemini on board

 

The list of debuts on the Volvo EX60 includes the introduction of Google Gemini artificial intelligence, which enables conversations to take place in a completely natural way. The EX60 is equipped with the latest version of HuginCore, the core system based on Android Automotive OS. Great computing power is provided by the Snapdragon Auto Connectivity platform from Qualcomm Technologies. At the heart of the EX60 is the Nvidia Drive platform, with accelerated data processing thanks to the Nvidia Drive Agx Orin on-chip system running on the operating system. Gemini will not only be the prerogative of Volvos on the SPA3 platform but also on models based on the CMA and SPA1 platforms, built from 2021 onwards.

 

Volvo EX60, what it costs and when it arrives

 

Already available to order on the Swedish manufacturer's website, the Volvo EX60 is available in a single-engine rear-wheel drive P6 version with an 83 kWh battery and 374 horsepower with 620 km of autonomy, offered at 65,350 euro in the Plus version and 72,300 euro in the Ultra trim. This figure rises by 3,000 euros for the twin-engine P10 Awd with 510 horsepower and 660 km range thanks to its 95 kWh battery. Both versions will be at dealerships in July. For the P12 version with 680 horsepower and a 117 kWh battery capable of guaranteeing more than 810 kilometres of autonomy with Wltp homologation, the price list increases by 9000 euros but you will have to be patient because it will arrive towards the end of the year.

 

New Volvo EX60 Cross Country, when it arrives

 

The Volvo EX60 Cross Country will arrive later, indicatively between late 2026 and early 2027, coming exclusively in combination with the P10 and P12 four-wheel-drive versions. Recognisable by the unpainted plastic guards on the bodywork, it increases in height by 2 centimetres and a further 2 centimetres thanks to air suspension. As is tradition, the EX60 Cross Country will be paired with a range of accessories designed for the outdoors. Prices start at around 3,000 euros more than the standard EX60.
