Volvo has finally pulled the wraps off its highly anticipated all-electric EX60, building on previous teasers and exclusive previews. This new midsize SUV is set to make a significant impact, boasting impressive range figures of up to 400 miles on the US EPA cycle and ultra-fast charging capabilities of up to 400 kW. Underpinning these advancements is powerful onboard computing hardware from Nvidia and Qualcomm, which not only enables sophisticated driver assistance systems but also powers a new AI personal assistant for enhanced user experience.
The EX60 will be available in three distinct powertrain variants: P6, P10 AWD, and P12 AWD, each offering a different balance of performance and range. The entry-level P6 is a single-motor rear-wheel-drive model producing 369 hp and offering an estimated 310 miles of range with 20-inch wheels, accelerating from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. It features an 80 kWh usable battery that can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes at up to 320 kW and will be the first Volvo in the US with a native NACS port.
Stepping up, the P10 AWD dual-motor setup delivers a combined 503 hp, slashing the 0-60 mph time to 4.4 seconds, with an estimated range of 320 miles on 20-inch wheels, thanks to a larger 91 kWh usable battery. It supports faster charging at up to 370 kW. The range-topping P12 AWD boasts an astonishing 670 hp, achieving 0-60 mph in a mere 3.8 seconds. With a substantial 112 kWh usable battery, it achieves the headline 400-mile range (on 20-inch wheels). All models are electronically limited to 112 mph and share the same exterior dimensions and Android Automotive OS-based infotainment system.
Adding an adventurous flair, Volvo has also introduced the EX60 Cross Country variants. These models receive a 0.8-inch suspension lift, wider track, protective cladding, and underbody skid plates, signalling their capability for light off-road excursions. While slightly impacting aerodynamic efficiency and thus range (the P10 Cross Country has an estimated 300 miles on 21-inch wheels), they offer enhanced comfort on rougher terrain. Pricing is expected to start around $60,000 for well-equipped models, with the P6 and P10 AWD versions entering production in April, followed by the P12 AWD and a Core trim later in 2026.
