Volvo has opened orders for the EX60, its new electric SUV, with prices starting at €64,900. Positioned below most premium competitors, the EX60 combines strong performance, long range, and advanced tech in a segment dominated by BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche.
Volvo has officially opened the order books for the EX60 in Spain, introducing a new contender to the fiercely competitive premium electric SUV market. With a starting price of €64,900, the EX60 enters the segment as a more accessible alternative to established rivals like the BMW iX3, Mercedes GLC, and Porsche Macan.
Measuring 4,811 mm in length, 1,917 mm in width, and 1,651 mm in height, the EX60 is designed to maximize interior space and road stability. Its 2,970 mm wheelbase translates into generous cabin room, while the 523-litre boot expands to 1,647 litres with the rear seats folded, making it practical for families and long journeys alike.
Performance and Range
The EX60 lineup features three distinct electric powertrains. The entry-level P6 Electric offers rear-wheel drive with a single 275 kW (374 hp) motor, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. Its 83 kWh battery supports rapid charging from 10% to 80% in just 16 minutes using a 350 kW DC charger, and delivers a WLTP-rated range of up to 611 km with an energy consumption of 14.9 kWh/100 km.
Stepping up, the P10 AWD Electric adds all-wheel drive and dual motors for a combined 375 kW (510 hp), cutting the 0–100 km/h sprint to 4.6 seconds. This version uses a 95 kWh battery, maintains the same fast-charging capability, and achieves up to 660 km of range (WLTP) with a consumption of 16.2 kWh/100 km.
The flagship P12 AWD Electric pushes performance further, delivering 500 kW (680 hp) and a 0–100 km/h time of just 3.9 seconds. Its 117 kWh battery is the largest in the range, requiring 19 minutes for a 10–80% charge at 350 kW. This top-tier model boasts an impressive 810 km of combined WLTP range and a consumption of 16.1 kWh/100 km.
Trim Levels and Equipment
Volvo keeps the EX60 range straightforward with two trim levels: Plus and Ultra. The Plus trim includes Matrix LED headlights, a 15.04-inch curved OLED central display, and a premium BOSE sound system. The Ultra trim adds a panoramic electrochromic roof, Bowers & Wilkins audio, a 360-degree camera with 3D view, and high-definition Pixel headlights.
Pricing for the EX60 is as follows: P6 Electric Plus at €64,900, P10 AWD Electric Plus at €67,925, P12 AWD Electric Plus at €73,975, P6 Electric Ultra at €72,281, P10 AWD Electric Ultra at €75,306, and P12 AWD Electric Ultra at €81,356.
Market Position and Competition
The EX60’s pricing strategy places it below most direct competitors. The BMW iX3 starts at €63,650, making it slightly cheaper, but the Mercedes GLC begins at €77,167, and the Porsche Macan commands a premium with a base price of €83,296. This positions the Volvo as a compelling option for buyers seeking premium features and range without the highest price tag.
For those comparing the latest electric SUVs, it’s worth noting how the EX60’s range and charging speeds stack up against rivals. For example, the Mercedes GLC 400 EQ 4Matic, recently reviewed for its comfort and long-distance credentials, offers over 600 km of range but at a higher entry price. More details on how Mercedes is redefining the segment can be found in this in-depth look at the GLC 400 EQ 4Matic.
As the electric SUV market in Spain continues to expand, the Volvo EX60’s combination of range, performance, and competitive pricing is likely to attract attention from both loyal Volvo customers and those considering a switch from German brands. The model’s arrival signals a new phase in the premium EV race, where value and technology are as crucial as badge prestige.
