Volvo EX60: Everything You Need to Know About Volvo’s New Premium Electric SUV
The Volvo EX60 is the Swedish automaker’s new 100% electric SUV, positioned between the EX40 and the EX90 in the lineup. This electric vehicle, built on the SPA3 platform, features an 800-volt architecture, three powertrain options (P6, P10 AWD, P12 AWD) and promises up to 810 km of WLTP range in its longest-range version. Pricing starts at €66,500 in France, with the first deliveries expected to begin in September 2026. Here’s everything you need to know about this model, which is set to take on the BMW iX3, Mercedes GLC EQ, and Audi Q6 e-tron.

Three powertrains, a single 800V architecture
As the electric cousin of the XC60—Volvo’s all-time best-seller (with over 2.7 million units sold worldwide)—the EX60 is the first model to debut the SPA3 platform. This platform is built entirely on an 800-volt electric architecture, shared by all three versions in the lineup. Cell-to-body technology integrates the batteries directly into the vehicle’s structure, reducing weight while improving rigidity and energy efficiency. The NMC cells and electric motors were developed in-house by Volvo.
The EX60 is also the first Volvo manufactured using the megacasting process: large structural components (such as the rear floor) are cast as a single piece, replacing hundreds of individual parts. This simplifies assembly and reduces the manufacturing carbon footprint.
Version | Power | Torque | 0-100 | Battery (nominal/usable) | WLTP Range | WLTP fuel consumption | Transmission |
P6 RWD | 275 kW (374 hp) | 480 Nm | 5.9 s | 83 / 80 kWh | 620 km | 14.7 kWh/100 km | Rear-wheel drive |
P10 AWD | 375 kW (510 hp) | 710 Nm | 4.6 s | 95 / 91 kWh | 660 km | 15.7 kWh/100 km | All-wheel drive |
P12 AWD | 500 kW (680 hp) | 790 Nm | 3.9 s | 117 / 112 kWh | 810 km | 16.0 kWh/100 km | All-wheel drive |
Cross Country | 375 kW (510 hp) | 710 Nm | 4.6 s | 95 / ~91 kWh | 640 km | n/a | All-wheel drive |

All versions share a top speed of 180 km/h and meet the Euro 6e standard. Curb weight ranges from 2,190 kg (P6) to 2,405 kg (P12 AWD), a moderate difference given the variation in battery capacity. Towing capacity is 2,000 kg for the P6 and 2,400 kg for the AWD versions.
Range and charging: the game-changing figures
This is likely the EX60’s most striking strength. The P12 AWD version claims a range of 810 km in the WLTP combined cycle and up to 980 km in urban driving, making it the longest-range electric Volvo and one of the SUVs with the greatest range on the market. The P6 achieves 620 km and the P10 AWD 660 km—range figures that are already very comfortable for both daily use and long trips.
When it comes to fast charging, the 800V architecture supports high DC power: up to 370 kW for the P10 and P12 versions, and 320 kW for the P6. In practice, charging from 10% to 80% takes 18 to 19 minutes at a compatible charging station. On a 400 kW charger, ten minutes are enough to regain 340 km of range. The Breathe Charge software, standard on all models, continuously optimizes battery management and can reduce DC charging times by up to 30%, particularly in cold weather, thanks to automatic thermal preconditioning.
The manufacturer backs the package with a 10-year battery warranty, a significant vote of confidence for buyers. This car also offers bidirectional V2L charging up to 22 kW, useful for powering an electrical device outdoors or during a power outage.
How much does a fast charge cost for the Volvo EX60?
At Electra fast-charging stations, equipped with charging points capable of delivering up to 400 kW, the EX60 will fully utilize its charging capabilities. A short break is all it takes to get back on the road with an 80% battery charge.
The cost depends on the subscription plan. With Electra, the standard rate in the app ranges from €0.39 to €0.61 (including tax) per kWh, depending on demand. For regular users, two Electra+ plans help lower the bill:
Electra+ Start: €1.99/month with no commitment, charging at €0.39/kWh (including tax).
Electra+ Boost: €9.99/month with no commitment, charging at €0.29/kWh (including tax).
Specifically, for an EX60 P10 AWD charged from 10% to 80% (approximately 64 kWh), this amounts to between €18.56 (with Electra+ Boost) and €24.96 (with Electra+ Start). The Boost subscription also provides access to a preferential rate of €0.49/kWh on partner networks Atlante, Fastned, and Ionity. Find details on Electra charging rates on our dedicated page. The first month is free with the code PLUS2.
Inside: Scandinavian technology and comfort
The EX60’s interior continues the Scandinavian approach so dear to Volvo: clean lines, high-end natural materials (including Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave upholstery), and a soothing atmosphere. The cockpit centers around a two-spoke steering wheel equipped with touch-sensitive joysticks, a high-mounted 11.4-inch digital instrument cluster, and a large 15-inch landscape-oriented central OLED screen.
The multimedia system, powered by Nvidia and Qualcomm components, features native Google integration with the Gemini AI assistant. This is a first for Volvo: natural language interaction allows you to converse with the car without having to memorize specific commands. Six customizable lighting modes complete the experience, including a “forest” mode that simulates daylight filtering through tree branches. This automotive approach clearly sets it apart in the premium segment.
Ultra trim: top-of-the-line features
In the Ultra trim, the equipment is enhanced with a panoramic sunroof, a Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and a 360° camera with 3D view. The EX60 is also the world’s first vehicle to feature multi-adaptive seatbelts in the front seats, a signature Volvo innovation that automatically adjusts tension based on the occupant’s body type and the type of collision detected.
Exterior Design and Dimensions
Measuring 4.80 m long (10 cm longer than the XC60), 1.91 m wide, and 1.64 m tall, the EX60 features a flowing silhouette rather than a boxy one, continuing the design language of the EX30. The front end features the Thor’s Hammer lighting signature, now composed of high-definition matrix LEDs capable of automatically adapting to traffic conditions. With a drag coefficient of 0.26 (Cx), it is the most aerodynamically efficient Volvo model to date.
In terms of practicality, the trunk offers 523 liters (634 liters including the 63-liter underfloor compartment), expandable to 1,647 liters with the rear seats folded down. The rear seats fold down in three sections to form a flat floor. Up front, a 58-liter frunk easily accommodates charging cables. The 2.97-meter wheelbase ensures generous legroom in the rear. Finally, the booster seats integrated into the rear bench make daily life easier for families.
Volvo EX60 Cross Country: the off-road variant
True to a tradition that began in the late 1990s, Volvo offers a Cross Country version of the EX60. This edition features reinforced body protection, matte black trim elements, and wheel arch extensions. Ground clearance is raised by 20 mm compared to the standard EX60, with active air suspension that adjusts height and damping according to the terrain. In the raised position, ground clearance can increase by an additional 40 mm.
The Cross Country First Edition, available in Plus (starting at €72,500) and Ultra (€79,400) trims, is powered by the P10 AWD powertrain (510 hp, 95 kWh) with a claimed range of at least 640 km. The first deliveries are expected in the second half of 2027. The exclusive Boreal Green color, with turquoise highlights, reinforces the distinctive character of this model.
Prices and Trim Levels in France
The Volvo EX60 is available in two trim levels (Plus and Ultra) across all three powertrain options. Here is the current pricing structure in France:
Version | Plus Trim | Ultra Trim | Deliveries in France |
P6 RWD | €66,500 | €73,400 | September 2026 |

Orders have been open since January 21, 2026. Production began at the Torslanda plant (Sweden) in April 2026. Note that the Core trim level, announced by Volvo, will not be offered on the French market initially, confirming the model’s premium positioning.
Facing the competition: BMW iX3, Mercedes GLC EQ, and Audi Q6 e-tron
The Volvo EX60 enters a particularly competitive segment. Its direct rivals are the BMW iX3, the Mercedes GLC EQ, and the Audi Q6 e-tron. On paper, the Swedish model stands out in several ways. Its maximum range of 810 km exceeds that of the BMW iX3 (approximately 805 km WLTP) and, more importantly, that of the Mercedes GLC EQ (713 km). Its charging speed (370 kW, 10–80% in 18 minutes) is also among the best in the segment.
In terms of pricing, the P10 AWD version (€69,500 in the Plus trim), which is directly comparable to the base models of its German competitors, is priced about €2,400 lower. The Tesla Model Y, positioned in a slightly lower segment, remains an alternative worth considering for tighter budgets. The Audi Q6 e-tron, which has been available since 2024, lags slightly behind these newcomers in terms of technology.
