Volvo may have delayed its all-electric 2030 target, but the Volvo EX60 EV proves it’s still charging forward. Nearly a year after its first teaser, the Swedish automaker has released a new preview—this time showing the front end, which bears a strong resemblance to the brand’s current design language.

The Volvo EX60 EV will make its global debut on January 21. Ahead of the reveal, Volvo shared key specs. The all-wheel-drive model is projected to deliver 400 miles of range under the EPA test cycle—an estimate, but notably for the heavier AWD version.

For context, BMW claims the same 400-mile EPA range for its new iX3. However, the EX60 stands out with ultra-fast charging: just 10 minutes at 400 kW adds 168 miles (270 km) of range. This is possible thanks to an 800-volt electrical architecture—a feature it shares with the iX3 but that significantly outpaces older 400-volt systems.

In Europe, the Volvo EX60 EV is expected to achieve 810 km (503 miles) under the more generous WLTP standard. A 10-minute charge there delivers 340 km (211 miles). Regardless of region, buyers get a 10-year battery warranty—a strong signal of confidence in long-term reliability.

Volvo engineered the EX60 with in-house motors to cut weight and boost efficiency. Moreover, it’s the brand’s first model to use mega casting, replacing hundreds of parts with a single structural piece. The battery also features a new cell layout to squeeze out extra range.

Chief Technology Officer Anders Bell went so far as to say the EX60 will mark “the end of range anxiety.”

One intriguing hint from teaser images: the EX60 appears to offer a third row of seats. Fold-flat rear seats are visible in the cargo area—something the BMW iX3 and Mercedes EQC/GLC lack (though China-market versions may add them). This could give Volvo a unique edge in the premium electric crossover segment.

Why it matters: The EX60 is Volvo’s electric counterpart to the best-selling XC60, which sold over 230,000 units in 2025. As Volvo’s longest-range EV ever, it bridges the gap between practicality and performance.

Even as U.S. EV demand cools, Europe and global markets continue growing. With a refueling-style charging experience and family-friendly versatility, the Volvo EX60 EV could become a cornerstone of the brand’s electric future.
