"Now, it's time for a new generation of EV from Volvo, one that's radically different at its core with a gigacast frame, a much higher-density battery and enough digital and literal horsepower to impress the most jaded of automotive enthusiasts. Mix in high-performance chipsets from both NVIDIA and Qualcomm, plus Google's Gemini AI onboard, and on paper, it has a lot to offer."
"Let's start with the basics: The EX60 slots in the Volvo product lineup right alongside the existing XC60, Volvo's most popular model in the U.S. It's a two-row, mid-size SUV that seats five, the sort of thing perfect for those with small families or big dogs. It'll be available in three different basic configurations, starting with the single-motor, rear-drive, 369-horsepower, 310-mile EX60 P6. Next up is the AWD dual-motor, 503-hp, 320-mile P10, and finally the top-shelf, 670-hp, 400-mile P12."
"670 horsepower in an SUV of this size seems frankly excessive to me, but then it does have a lot of weight to move around - 5,137 pounds to be exact. That's thanks in large part to the P12's 112-kilowatt-hour net battery pack which is about 50 percent bigger than the one inside a Tesla Model Y. The P6 is a relatively svelte 4,663 pounds thanks to its smaller 80-kWh net battery pack, while the P10 has 91 kWh."
Volvo launches the EX60 as a next-generation, two-row mid-size electric SUV positioned alongside the XC60. The EX60 introduces a gigacast frame and a higher-density battery architecture. Three powertrain options include the rear-drive P6 (369 hp, 310 miles), the AWD P10 (503 hp, 320 miles), and the P12 flagship (670 hp, 400 miles) with a 112-kWh net pack. Weights range from about 4,663 to 5,137 pounds depending on battery size. The vehicle integrates high-performance chipsets from NVIDIA and Qualcomm and includes Google's Gemini AI. The EX60 targets family SUV buyers and competes with BMW iX3 and upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLC EVs.
