Volvo has entered new territory with the debut of the electric sibling to the XC60. Simon Harris checks out the EX60’s main kerb appeal for fleets.
What is it? Large SUV When is it available? September 2026 Biggest changes? First all-electric Volvo in the XC60 class Fleet appeal? High-end draw at director level
That looks like a Volvo
It certainly does, and adds another pure EV to the range. A five-seater, and not as big as the EX90, the EX60 should have broad appeal for senior executives who like safety, clean Swedish design and SUVs. There are three battery sizes, with the entry-level 374hp P6 version offering rear-wheel drive, while 510hp P10 and 680hp P12 variants have dual motors and all-wheel drive.
Powering up
The battery choices enable the EX60 to hit three price points, expected to start around £60,000. The smallest of these, at 83kWh, will apparently be good for 385 miles on the WLTP combined cycle in the P6 rear-wheel drive entry variant. The AWD P10 comes with a 95kWh battery and a range of 410 miles, while the range-topping AWD P12 has a 117kWh battery with the headline-grabbing 503 miles of range on a full charge.
Sleek outside, calm inside
A competitive drag coefficient of 0.26 helps eke out those impressive ranges from the batteries. Artificial leather, Nappa leather and wool blend seat upholstery is available. A touchscreen interface accesses almost all of the controls (no tactile buttons and knobs for heating and ventilation, sadly). There is a more rugged-looking Cross Country variant for those who prefer an outdoorsy feel, and it’s also fitted with air suspension, should venturing offroad be required.
Fully loaded
Mid-range Plus is the entry-level, and comes with Matrix LED headlights and a 21-speaker Bose premium audio system. Upgrade to the Ultra, and the audio is replaced with a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins unit, and it also comes with an electro-chromic roof and 360-degree camera with a 3D view.
Verdict
After the slight misstep from Volvo that was the EX30, we’re looking forward to getting behind the wheel of this new Volvo EV to see how it compares with the Audi Q6 e-tron, new BMW iX3 and other premium rivals.
