Volvo EX60 unveiled: Six things you need to know

Volvo has officially introduced the all-new mid-sized SUV EX60 to the global market.

Here are some key facts you should know:

 

Three powertrain options

To start, the Volvo EX60 is available in three new powertrain variants, detailed as follows:

P6 Electric

  • single electric motor: 347 hp/480 Nm
  • acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds
  • battery pack: 83 kWh
  • driving range: 620 km

P10 AWD Electric

  • dual electric motors: 510 hp/710 Nm
  • acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds
  • battery pack: 95 kWh
  • driving range: 660 km

P12 AWD Electric

  • dual electric motors: 680 hp/710 Nm
  • acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds
  • battery pack: 117 kWh
  • driving range: 810 km

According to Volvo, the EX60 will be available in a total of seven variants to meet various customer needs and lifestyles.

First car from the SPA3 platform

The Volvo EX60 is the first model to come from the SPA3 architecture, powered by the HuginCore computing system.

This system utilizes technologies such as cell-to-body, self-developed electric motors, and lightweight ‘mega casting’ to improve energy efficiency.

It also helps the EX60 achieve the lowest carbon footprint for a Volvo electric vehicle, matching the value of the EX30.

 

400 kW charging

Volvo states that the EX60 can add a range of up to 340 km in just 10 minutes using 400 kW fast charging.

The P6 and P10 AWD variants support DC charging at 300 kW (10-80 percent in 18 minutes), while the P12 AWD variant supports DC charging of up to 400 kW (10-80 percent state of charge in 19 minutes).

 

Exterior

In terms of exterior design, the EX60 continues the minimalist Scandinavian approach seen in other EV models like the EX30 and EX90.

As a result, the Volvo EX60 achieves a drag coefficient as low as 0.26, contributing to its class-leading overall driving range.

The Volvo EX60 measures 4,803 mm in length, 1,908 mm in width, and 1,635 mm in height, with a nearly 3-meter (2,970 mm) wheelbase.

 

Interior

The long wheelbase and flat floor design provide ample legroom and storage space.

Unfortunately, Volvo still integrates all main vehicle controls into the central infotainment screen.

Other features include a Bowers & Wilkins audio system with 28 speakers, Apple Music, and Dolby Atmos sound experience.

The Volvo EX60 is also the first Volvo car to come equipped with Google’s Gemini AI technology.

The cargo space measures 634 liters and can expand to 1,647 liters with the second-row seats folded down. Additionally, the frunk space is 58 liters.

 

Cross Country trim available

Volvo has confirmed the launch of the EX60 Cross Country variant, which features:

  • A ground clearance that is 20 mm higher
  • Adaptive suspension with an additional 20 mm adjustment
  • Underbody skid plate
  • Wider wheel arches
  • Exclusive Forest Green color
  • AWD system
  • P10 & P12 trim options

Volvo EX60 to feature world’s first multi-adaptive seatbelt!

In 1959, Volvo made history by introducing the modern three-point seatbelt, a technology that has proven to save over a million lives.

Now, in 2025, Volvo is set to make history once again with the introduction of a new innovation: the multi-adaptive seatbelt, designed to further enhance user safety.

This first-of-its-kind feature will be showcased in the Volvo EX60, which is slated for launch in 2026.

What you need to know about Volvo’s latest innovation:

  1. The system utilizes data from various sensors (external, internal, accident) to analyze factors such as impact direction and speed in real-time within the blink of an eye.

  2. Additionally, the system assesses individual profiles based on height, weight, body shape, and seating position. This information is shared with the seatbelt system to select the most appropriate settings.

    In unexpected situations, larger passengers will receive a higher seatbelt load setting to reduce the risk of head injuries. Conversely, in minor collision scenarios, smaller passengers will receive a lower seatbelt load to mitigate the chance of rib fractures.

  3. The modern seatbelt system employs load limiters to control the impact force on the human body during a collision.

    As a result, Volvo is increasing the load limit profile from three in the existing system to eleven, allowing for optimized protection based on varying scenarios and individual factors.

  4. The system can also be updated through over-the-air (OTA) software updates.

    Based on the data gathered, vehicles will become smarter in understanding passengers, new scenarios, and crafting more accurate response strategies.

This latest innovation has been tested and developed at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

There, Volvo safety engineers can recreate almost all types of road accidents and conduct tests that exceed official regulatory requirements.

The facility plays a crucial role in maintaining Volvo Cars’ position as a leader in automotive safety.
