2. New SPA3 platform with cell-to-body battery tech
The EX60 is the first Volvo model to be developed on the new Scalable Product Architecture 3 (SPA3) architecture. This platform introduces mega casting and cell-to-body battery integration, where the battery pack becomes part of the vehicle’s structure. Volvo claims this reduces weight, improves efficiency and structural rigidity. Despite being significantly larger, the EX60 is said to have a carbon footprint comparable to the smaller EX30.

3. 800-volt electrical architecture and ultra-fast charging
Unlike Volvo’s current EVs that use a 400-volt system, the EX60 adopts an 800-volt electrical architecture that enables higher charging power with lower heat generation and better efficiency. Using a 400 kW fast charger, the EX60 can add up to 340 km of range in just 10 minutes, placing it among the quickest charging electric SUVs globally.
4. Multiple powertrain options with up to 810 km range
The Volvo EX60 will be offered with three electric powertrain options. The P12 AWD Electric variant delivers a claimed range of up to 810 km, making it the longest-range version. The P10 AWD Electric offers up to 660 km, while the rear-wheel-drive P6 Electric variant delivers up to 620 km. In total, the EX60 will be available in seven variants across these powertrain options.
5. Google Gemini AI and next-gen safety tech
The EX60 is the first Volvo SUV to integrate the Google Gemini AI assistant, enabling advanced voice-based interactions for navigation, media and vehicle functions. On the safety front, it carries a new HuginCore system, which processes data from the vehicle’s sensors to monitor its surroundings in real time and support active safety features.
The Volvo EX60 is scheduled to enter production this spring at the carmaker’s factory in Sweden. Customer deliveries for the P6 and P10 variants are expected to start this summer, with the long-range P12 version to follow shortly after.
