Volvo has given a brief glimpse of its new electric crossover, the EX60, alongside the official unveiling of its ES90 saloon. The EX60 is expected to be an all-electric version of the XC60, with Volvo working on a medium-sized electric vehicle that will sit between the EX30 and EX90 models.
Design-wise, the EX60 appears similar in size to the seven-seat EX90 but with more closely aligned rear lights reminiscent of the smaller EX30. The car’s dimensions are likely aimed at competing with the Tesla Model Y and other notable EVs like the Polestar 2, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and others.
The EX60 is set to be built on Volvo’s next-gen SPA3 platform, marking a significant shift in the brand’s electric vehicle strategy. However, details regarding battery sizes or motor outputs remain scarce at this point.
One notable aspect of Volvo’s approach is its ‘Superset tech stack’, a modular system allowing for interchangeable components and optimization across various models. This means that the EX60 will likely inherit key elements from the ES90, with tailored specifics suited to its size and design.
As Volvo prepares to enter the competitive EV market, the ideal battery range and size for the EX60 remain topics of discussion among enthusiasts and experts alike. With a broad lineup of electric vehicles on the horizon, it’s essential that the EX60 hits the right notes to succeed in this rapidly evolving landscape.
