Tesla Port, Long Range, Fast Charging Revolutionize Electric Vehicles
The Volvo EX60 is making waves in the electric vehicle (EV) market with an impressive range of 400 miles on a single charge. This long-range advantage is a key feature that distinguishes it from competitors. Volvo offers both single- and dual-motor configurations for the EX60, catering to various consumer preferences.
The EX60: A New Era for Volvo EVs
The introduction of the EX60 comes at a critical time for Volvo, as overall demand for combustion engine-free vehicles dropped by 13% in 2025. Geely, the parent company, hopes the EX60 will reverse this trend and reinvigorate their EV sales after experiencing setbacks.
The EX60 is built on Volvo’s SPA3 architecture, a design tailored exclusively for electric vehicles. This platform allows for enhanced performance without having to accommodate traditional combustion engines. With a sleek design inspired by the EX90, the EX60 features innovative design elements, including discreet winglets integrated into the beltline instead of typical door handles. This approach contributes to a low drag coefficient of 0.26, optimizing the vehicle’s range.
EX60 Exterior Design Features
- Split headlights and a closed-off grille signal its electric nature.
- Rear design includes familiar Volvo taillights with a rear wiper for utility.
- Wheel sizes range from 20 to 22 inches, with the rugged Cross Country version featuring exclusive 21-inch wheels.
The EX60 Cross Country is 0.8 inches taller than the standard model. It also has unique stainless steel skid plates and robust wheel arches, enhancing its rugged appeal.
Interior: Modern and Intuitive
The cabin of the EX60 showcases a nearly buttonless interface. Most vehicle functions are accessible via an advanced infotainment system. This is Volvo’s first model to integrate Google’s Gemini AI assistant, allowing for seamless voice interactions without the need for complex commands. The company asserts that past software issues have been addressed to ensure a smooth user experience.
The EX60 comes equipped with a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system featuring 28 speakers, including four in the headrests. Despite rumors, the EX60 is a five-seater, maintaining ample cabin storage and an innovative flat floor design.
Performance: Power and Range
In the market, the EX60 will have various drivetrain options. The base model “P6” features a single motor producing 369 horsepower, achieving a 0-62 mph acceleration in just 5.7 seconds. The larger “P10 AWD” boasts a dual-motor setup generating 503 hp, reaching 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. For ultimate performance, the “P12 AWD” model delivers an eye-catching 670 hp, achieving 0-60 mph in only 3.8 seconds.
| Model | Motor Type | Horsepower | Torque (lb-ft) | 0-60 mph (seconds) | Range (miles) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P6 | Single | 369 | 354 | 5.7 | 310 |
| P10 AWD | Dual | 503 | 524 | 4.4 | 320 |
| P12 AWD | Dual | 670 | 583 | 3.8 | 400 |
The EX60 features fast charging capabilities, reaching up to 400 kilowatts in higher trims. This allows the top model to recharge from 10% to 80% in just 19 minutes. Notably, the EX60 is the first Volvo model equipped with a native NACS port, facilitating access to over 25,000 Tesla Supercharger stations.
Conclusion and Availability
Manufactured in Sweden, the EX60 is already available for order in Europe. U.S. deliveries will start in late spring, with the “P6” and “P10 AWD” versions leading the way. The more powerful “P12 AWD” will follow, along with the Cross Country model set to debut in summer 2027.
As competition intensifies, the EX60 holds promise in helping Volvo reclaim its standing in the EV market, provided it is competitively priced.
