Volvo Launches EX60, a Software‑Defined Electric SUV With Claimed 810 km Range

Built on the new SPA3 platform, the model centers on a centralized compute architecture with Google Gemini integration plus over‑the‑air updates.

Overview

  • Orders opened on January 21 with prices from €65,350 to about €81,450, with first deliveries slated for late spring to summer 2026 and a Cross Country variant planned later in the year.
  • Three variants—P6 (RWD), P10 (AWD) and P12 (AWD)—pair 83, 95 and 117 kWh batteries with roughly 620, 660 and 810 km WLTP ranges and about 374, 510 and 680 hp, respectively.
  • An 800‑volt architecture enables DC fast charging from 10–80% in about 19 minutes, recovery of around 340 km in roughly 10 minutes, and peak rates of 320–370 kW, according to Volvo.
  • The SPA3 platform uses cell‑to‑body battery integration and large aluminum megacastings that Volvo says reduce weight and can cut the production CO2 footprint by about 37% versus traditional methods.
  • Safety and user tech include Pilot Assist Plus with hands‑off highway capability up to 130 km/h, updates to the Driver Understanding System, a multi‑adaptive seatbelt, and a new horizontal infotainment layout.
