Volvo EX60, EX60 Cross Country debut – 400 kW DC charging, up to 810 km WLTP; coming to Malaysia

The Volvo EX60 has made its debut, shortly after its uncovered form was leaked ahead of its official premiere. As shown previously, styling of the EX60 is evolved from its stablemates, chiefly the EX90, and the five-seater EX60 slots in between the three-row model and the smaller EX30.

For exterior dimensions, the EX60 measures 4,803 mm long, 1,899 mm wide (2,067 mm including mirrors) and 1,635 mm tall with a 2,970 mm wheelbase, with track widths of 1,655 mm and 1,640 mm front and rear, respectively; kerb weight for the EX60 is 2,190 kg, while that of the EX60 Cross Country is 2,370 kg. Luggage capacity in the EX60 is 634 litres with the rear seats in place, and up to 1,647 litres with the rear seats folded; the frunk holds up to 85 litres.

Starting with the P6 Electric, this is a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive variant that outputs 374 PS and 480 Nm, propelling it from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, with a WLTP-rated range of 620 km from its 83 kWh (80 kWh usable) battery.

Next up is the P10 Electric with a dual-motor AWD powertrain with 510 PS and 710 Nm, enabling 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, and a WLTP-rated range of 660 km from a 95 kWh battery (90 usable). The top P12 Electric outputs 680 PS and 790 Nm from its dual-motor AWD powertrain, yielding a 0-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds and the aforementioned range of 810 km (WLTP) from a 117 kWh battery (112 kWh usable).

Built on the manufacturer’s SPA3 electric vehicle architecture, this enables the EX60 to take fast charging at up to 400 kW DC, which adds up to 340 km of range in just 10 minutes. Charging the EX60 from 10-80% will take 19 minutes, while a full charge give the EX60 up to 810 km of battery range in the range-topping P12 Electric variant; also in the line-up are the P6 Electric and P10 Electric variants.

All variants of the EX60 from debut are capable of bi-directional charging at up to 22 kW AC. According to Volvo, each powertrain variant will be offered in Plus or Ultra trim specifications, while a base Core trim level “will be introduced later on.”

Suspension for the EX60 is by double wishbones in front and a five-link configuration at the rear, with coil springs for both front and rear axles. Active suspension specification brings semi-active dampers for the front and rear axles, while standard suspension employs hydraulic dampers.

Braking is by 323 mm ventilated discs in front and 325 mm solid discs at the rear on the single motor RWD versions, and 345 mm ventilated discs in front and 325 mm ventilated discs at the rear on dual-motor AWD versions. Wheels on the EX60 range measure up to 22 inches in diameter.

As par for the current Volvo course, the cabin of the EX60 features a central infotainment touchscreen, which Volvo claims is no-lag, and the “most responsive user experience in any Volvo car to date.”

Voice-commanded assistants now better understand passengers, while the user interface offers quicker access to key functions, says Volvo. As on other Volvo models, the driver of the EX60 gets a slim instrument display ahead of the steering wheel.

The EX60 is the first Volvo to launch with Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, as the latest development in the partnership between Volvo and Google, enabling the car’s occupants to have “natural and personalised conversations” with the AI assistant without needing to remember specific commands, according to the carmaker.

Audio output is handled by a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, which now includes headrest speakers for the four main seats. The EX60 is also the first Volvo to be pre-installed with Apple Music and Dolby Atmos.

The EX60 introduces Navi Pilot Assist, which enables the driver to let the system steer the vehicle and assist with lane changes on highways at speeds of up to 130 km/h. This system can be operated hands-free “while staying fully engaged,” according to Volvo.

Joining the line-up is the EX60 Cross Country that is offered in P10 Electric guise, which is rated for up to 640 km of range on the WLTP testing standard. Continuing a long-running line of taller-riding Volvo derivatives, the EX60 Cross Country has a 20 mm-taller ride height compared to the EX60, while air suspension can raise the vehicle a further 20 mm when more ground clearance is required.

There will be two variants of the EX60 Cross Country, starting with the P10 AWD Electric that offers up to 640 km of range (WLTP), and this will be joined later by a P12 AWD Electric variant, with longer battery range.

Although the Volvo EX60 range has just been officially unveiled, Volvo Car Malaysia has given a localised perspective on the five-seater EV earlier this month, confirming that it will arrive in this market, stating that “whether you plan to drive from Johor to Perlis, make a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, or travel from Sabah to Sarawak, the new, all-electric Volvo EX60 SUV has your back”.
