Volvo EX60 makes its debut in Stockholm and does so by unveiling the Swedish brand's electric future. The first model built on the SPA3 platform, the EX60 is a true software-defined vehicle (Sdv) whose functions are in fact realised with applications (always upgradable) running on high-performance hardware. With the Sdv technical paradigm, the number of control units is drastically reduced but the computing power allows a long list of functions starting with advanced level 2 autonomous driving. Competing with the Bmw iX3, Mercedes GLC and Audi Q6, the new Volvo will arrive with three engines with up to 680 horsepower and over 810 kilometres of range.

New Volvo EX60, size and style

How long is the new Volvo EX60? The electric suv has a length of 4,803 mm, a width of 1,899 mm, a height of 1,635 mm and a wheelbase of 2,970 mm. In terms of design, it continues what we have already seen on the EX90 but with a more dynamic style. The lowered front end, sloping roofline and tapered flanks optimise its overall aerodynamic efficiency. As a result, the EX60 passes through the air with a very effective drag coefficient of 0.26. Built according to the Megacasting methodology, a production technique that fuses many body parts into one large aluminium casting, reducing complexity, welding and weight, improving structure and sustainability, following Tesla's example, the EX60 is also the first Volvo to adopt cell-to-body technology, meaning the batteries become a structural part of the chassis.

Volvo EX60, technology and artificial intelligence

On board we find a brand new interior, with a large central screen and a monitor in front of the driver, but above all, for the first time on a Volvo, Gemini, Google's new AI assistant that enables conversations to take place in a completely natural way.

The EX60 is equipped with the latest version of HuginCore, Volvo's central system named after the mythological bird from Norse legends that enables the car to think, process data and act. This is the first time Volvo has given a name to its core system, which consists of the internally developed electrical architecture, main computer, zone controllers and software integrated within the EX60. 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, which runs on the DriveOS operating system. The high computing power also makes it possible to increase the level of assisted driving; the Pilot Assist Plus also arrives, capable on motorways up to 130 km/h, of steering and assisting in lane changes completely autonomously. On-board space is ample, with a load compartment starting at 523 litres, plus 85 litres in the front compartment under the bonnet.

Volvo EX60, range and engines

But how many kilometres does the Volvo EX60 get on a full tank of electricity? It depends on the version chosen. It starts with the single-engine rear-wheel-drive P6 with an 83 kWh battery and 374 horsepower with a range of 620 km, the twin-engine P10 Awd with 510 horsepower and 660 km thanks to its 95 kWh battery, and at the top of the range is the 680-horsepower P12 Awd with a 117 kWh battery and a range of over 810 km with Wltp homologation. All combined with an 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. For all, top speed is limited to 180 km/h, while the 0-100 km/h sprint is just 3.9 seconds in combination with the powerful EX60 P12.

Volvo EX60 Cross Country

In addition to the three versions combined with the standard bodywork, the Volvo EX60 Cross Country debuts, available exclusively as a P10 Awd version that boasts 20 millimetres more ground clearance (to which a further 20 millimetres can be added thanks to air suspension), recognisable by its dedicated guards and a series of modifications.

Volvo EX60 prices

Already orderable at dealerships and online, it will hit the road in July with prices starting at €65,630 for the P6 Single Motor and €81,450 for the P12 AWD. Prices superimposable on the XC60 plug-in hybrid, again underlining how the EX60 can be a real alternative to an internal combustion suv, obviously at a premium/luxury level aimed at high spenders or corporate fleet users aimed at top management.
