Volvo Cars on the 21st (local time) in Stockholm, Sweden, unveiled the brand's first all-electric midsize sport utility vehicle (SUV), the "EX60."
Hakan Samuelsson, chief executive officer (CEO) of Volvo Cars, said, "The EX60 is a game changer that will shift the landscape in every respect—including driving range, charging, and price—and a model that signals a new beginning for both Volvo Cars and customers."
The EX60 offers a driving range of up to 810 kilometers per charge based on all-wheel drive. It is the longest range among Volvo Cars' electric vehicles so far and surpasses recently unveiled rival models. With a 400-kilowatt fast charger, a 10-minute charge can secure up to 340 kilometers of range.
The powertrain (engine) can be selected to suit lifestyle from ▲P12 AWD Electric (all-wheel drive, up to 810 kilometers of range) ▲P10 AWD Electric (all-wheel drive, up to 660 kilometers of range) ▲P6 Electric (rear-wheel drive, up to 620 kilometers of range). All come with a 10-year battery warranty.
The EX60 is based on the next-generation electric-vehicle architecture "SPA3" and is powered by Volvo Cars' new core system "Hugin Core." It includes technologies that can improve energy efficiency and driving range.
In terms of design, the EX60 adopts a low-set front end, a gently tapering roofline, and narrowing side surfacing to help deliver best-in-class driving range. This achieves a drag coefficient of 0.26. Inside, a long wheelbase and flat-floor layout provide generous second-row legroom and ample cargo space.
Based on Hugin Core, the EX60 is designed so the car can think, process, and respond on its own. For the first time at Volvo Cars, it is equipped with Google's new artificial intelligence (AI) assistant "Gemini," enabling natural, personalized conversations without having to remember specific commands.
The EX60 will be produced in Sweden starting in the spring and will be delivered sequentially, beginning with the European market. The timing for Korea is undecided.
Meanwhile, on the same day Volvo Cars also unveiled the brand's first midsize electric crossover SUV, the "EX60 Cross Country." Its ground clearance is 20 millimeters higher than the EX60. Air suspension can raise it by an additional 20 millimeters.
