Volvo EX60 unveiled, 810 km WLTP range claim, 400 kW fast charging

KUALA LUMPUR: Volvo has taken the wraps off the Volvo EX60, an all-electric mid-size SUV the company says is aimed straight at the biggest EV segment globally, the family-friendly five-seater class, and it is a model Malaysian EV watchers will be keeping an eye on as Volvo continues expanding its electric line-up.

Volvo is pitching the EX60 around big headline numbers, including a claimed up to 810 km driving range (WLTP) for its top all-wheel drive variant, plus the ability to add up to 340 km of range in 10 minutes when connected to a 400 kW fast charger, where supported.

For readers searching ahead of time, this is the one to bookmark as Volvo EX60 Malaysia details, including launch timing, price and final specs, have not been announced yet.

“The new, all-electric EX60 changes the game in terms of range, charging and price and represents a new beginning for Volvo Cars and our customers,” says Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars. “With this car, we remove all remaining obstacles for going electric. This fantastic new car is also a testament of what we are capable of at Volvo Cars, with an all-new product architecture introducing new key technologies – mega casting, cell-to-body and core computing.”

Three powertrains, seven variants, up to 810 km WLTP for the range leader

Volvo says the EX60 will be sold with three main powertrain choices:

• P12 AWD Electric, up to 810 km range (WLTP, preliminary)

• P10 AWD Electric, up to 660 km range (WLTP, preliminary)

• P6 RWD Electric, up to 620 km range (WLTP, preliminary)

Across the line-up, Volvo says buyers will be able to choose from seven variants in total, positioned to cover different budgets and needs. Volvo also confirms a 10-year battery warranty, and for Sweden specifically, the EX60 will come with three years of free home charging for private customers at launch, before the offer is rolled out to other markets.

Built on SPA3 with HuginCore, mega casting and cell-to-body tech

Under the skin, the EX60 is the first model on SPA3, Volvo’s latest EV architecture, paired with HuginCore, the company’s core computing system. Volvo says the platform is designed around scalability and manufacturing efficiency, with a tech stack that includes cell-to-body battery packaging, next-generation in-house electric motors, a new battery cell design, and mega casting, all points that will matter if you are comparing electric SUV specs in Malaysia.

Volvo also claims the EX60 delivers its lowest carbon footprint for a fully electric Volvo, saying it matches the smaller EX30, with the weight-saving and efficiency gains from the new architecture playing a role.

Design and cabin, 0.26 drag coefficient, flat floor, bigger rear space

On the styling front, Volvo describes the EX60 as a continuation of its Scandinavian design approach, but shaped around EV efficiency. Key aero cues mentioned include a low front, a sloping roofline, and tapered body sides, helping the EX60 achieve a claimed 0.26 drag coefficient, which Volvo links directly to its range figure.

Inside, Volvo highlights practicality. The EX60 gets a long wheelbase and flat floor, which Volvo says translates into more rear legroom, along with a large luggage area and additional storage spaces.

Audio and infotainment get a big mention too. Volvo says the EX60 can be optioned with a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and for the first time in a Volvo, it includes headrest speakers in all four main seats. Volvo also says the EX60 will be its first car with Apple Music pre-installed with Dolby Atmos support, noting that an Apple Music subscription and compatible hardware and software are required.

Gemini arrives in a Volvo, plus faster, “no-lag” infotainment

Volvo is leaning hard into the EX60 as its most tech-heavy SUV yet. The big talking point is that the EX60 is the first Volvo to launch with Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, integrated into the car.

Volvo says Gemini is designed to enable more natural conversation, without relying on fixed voice commands, and ties that to Volvo’s existing role as a development partner for Android Automotive OS hardware platforms.

Beyond the AI assistant, Volvo claims a more responsive cabin interface overall, with quicker screen reactions, faster map loading and improved voice recognition, all supported by the car’s HuginCore computing setup. Volvo also points to collaborations with Google, NVIDIA and Qualcomm Technologies as part of the tech development mix.

Safety focus, new multi-adaptive seat belt, boron steel safety cage

As expected for Volvo, safety gets its own spotlight. The company says the EX60 is built to exceed regulations and rating requirements, with the car continuously assessing its surroundings using a broad sensor suite, enabled by HuginCore.

One headline feature is Volvo’s multi-adaptive safety belt, described as a world-first innovation aimed at more personalised protection for front occupants. Structurally, Volvo says the EX60 uses a safety cage strengthened with boron steel, combined with modern restraint systems designed to work together in a crash.

Volvo also confirms the EX60 will receive over-the-air updates, meaning software and feature improvements are intended to continue after delivery.

Ordering, production timing and deliveries

Volvo says the EX60 ordering process has been redesigned to be more transparent, with clearer pricing, clearer equipment content and a precise estimated delivery timeline. Customers will also be able to choose between pre-configured cars for faster delivery, or a customised build that takes longer.

As for timing, Volvo says the EX60 is available to order now in European markets, with the US to follow in late spring, no word yet for Malaysia, but we will try to find out.

Production starts this spring at Volvo’s factory in Sweden. Volvo says customer deliveries for the P6 and P10 variants will begin this summer, with the P12 following soon after.
