The movement is not minor. Volvo launches a model that has already generated a high level of interest even before its arrival at dealerships.
An electric SUV designed for everyday life without limits
One of the most striking points of the EX60 is its autonomy. The model reaches up to 400 miles on a single charge, approximately 640 kma figure that places it in a very competitive position within the medium-sized electric SUV segment.

The EX60 range is structured in three configurations. The P6 version has 369 horsepower, rear-wheel drive and an 80 kWh battery.
The intermediate levelP10, incorporates all-wheel drive with 503 horsepower and 91 kWh battery. At the top is the P12, which reaches 670 horsepower and uses a 112 kWh battery.

The interior follows the same philosophy. Ample space, sustainable materials and an almost total reduction of physical buttons. Everything is concentrated on a central screen and simplified controls, with a more open atmosphere thanks to ambient lighting.
