On January 21, 2026, Volvo unveiled the EX60, its highly anticipated all-electric midsize SUV. As the electric counterpart to the bestselling XC60, the EX60 marks a pivotal moment for the Swedish automaker. It bridges the gap between the compact EX30 and the flagship EX90, offering premium Scandinavian design, exceptional range, and cutting-edge technology in one of the most competitive segments.
Design and Presence
The EX60 embodies Volvo’s modern electric design language, with a clean, aerodynamic silhouette that combines elegance and functionality. It features the brand’s signature “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlights, a closed front grille for improved efficiency, and flush door handles that enhance aerodynamics. The overall stance is muscular yet refined, with a longer wheelbase than the current XC60 for improved interior space.
A standout variant is the EX60 Cross Country, which adds rugged styling elements like a higher ride height, protective cladding, and adjustable air suspension for light off-road capability.
