Volvo EX60: Electric SUV with an 810 km Range and Gasoline Model Pricing. Volvo has unveiled the EX60—an electric crossover offering up to 810 km of range and up to 680 hp. The model charges for up to 340 km in just 10 minutes and is priced on par with the gasoline XC60. Orders are already open in Spain.

Volvo has launched the EX60 on the Spanish market — an electric SUV measuring 4.8 meters in length that immediately attracted attention with its combination of features and price. The model promises up to 810 km on a single charge, power up to 680 hp, and fast charging: 340 km of range in 10 minutes or 80% battery in 16 minutes. The starting price is from 64,900 euros, matching the price of the gasoline XC60, making the EX60 one of the most affordable electric crossovers in its class.

The EX60's design follows Volvo's signature style, but with a more expressive and modern look. The front features distinctive 'Thor's Hammer' headlights and a large grille, while the side profile is accentuated by a high window line and 22-inch wheels. Special door handles improve aerodynamics, achieving a drag coefficient of 0.26 — the best among the brand's SUVs.

Inside, the cabin features minimalist design and digitalization. The driver has access to two displays: an 11-inch instrument panel and a 15.4-inch central OLED display with full Google integration and Gemini voice assistant support. All main functions, including mirror adjustment, are controlled via a touch menu. Entry and engine start are managed through a digital key on a smartphone, though a physical card is also provided.

Technically, the EX60 is built on the SPA3 platform with an 800-volt architecture, enabling fast charging and high efficiency. The lineup features three versions: P6 (374 hp), P10 (510 hp), and P12 (680 hp). Even the base model delivers remarkable driving dynamics, thanks to gigacasting technology—large cast body components that reduce weight and increase rigidity. In the top version, the driving range reaches up to 810 km in the combined cycle.

Practicality has not been overlooked: a wheelbase of almost 3 meters ensures generous space in the second row, and the trunk holds 523 liters plus an additional 63-liter compartment. Competitors include the BMW iX3, Mercedes GLC, and Porsche Macan, but in terms of price, features, and equipment, the EX60 stands out as particularly compelling.

In Spain, interest in the new model is already high: according to RUSSPAIN, the greatest demand is for the top-of-the-line P12 version with maximum range. For a comparison of approaches to modern vehicles on the market, it's worth looking at the analysis of the Mazda MX-5 and Honda Prelude — these cases also show how customer expectations are changing.

The Volvo EX60 exemplifies how electric vehicles are becoming more accessible to mainstream buyers—not just through technology, but also thanks to a pricing policy that no longer requires compromise between sustainability, performance, and practicality.
