Volvo is raising the stakes for its upcoming EX60 electric SUV, dropping major specs ahead of its January 21st debut. The big headline is range: the EX60 is expected to deliver up to 400 miles on a single charge (or 810km WLTP). To put that in perspective, this significantly outperforms previous Volvo EVs, signaling a massive leap in battery efficiency.
Beyond just range, the EX60 serves as a showcase for Volvo’s manufacturing evolution. It will be the first vehicle built using the automaker’s new megacasting production process. This technique, popularized by Tesla, reduces weight and simplifies assembly, allowing Volvo to improve structural rigidity and efficiency simultaneously.
Positioned as a midsize SUV with ‘no compromises,’ the EX60 aims to solve range anxiety while streamlining production. However, with the ES90 sedan promising even more range (434 miles) on the horizon, the EX60 acts as the pivotal bridge between Volvo’s current lineup and its future tech-heavy lineup.
