In just two days, Volvo will pull back the curtain on a vehicle that signals far more than a new model launch. The fully electric Volvo EX60 is set to redefine what drivers can expect from a premium mid-size SUV, blending class-leading electric performance with Scandinavian design values and technology that serves a clear purpose. Revealed live from Stockholm on Wednesday, 21 January at 18:00 CET, the EX60 represents a decisive step in Volvo’s electric journey and a bold statement about where premium mobility is heading.

From the outset, the EX60 has been conceived as an electric car, not a combustion-era platform adapted for a battery and motor. This “born electric” approach allows Volvo to rethink everything, from proportions and packaging to software and user interaction. The result is a vehicle designed around efficiency, intelligence and comfort, rather than compromise.

A new benchmark for electric performance

At the heart of the EX60 lies a promise that matters most to electric vehicle buyers: confidence. With class-leading range and the fastest charging capability ever offered in a Volvo, the EX60 is engineered to make electric driving feel effortless. Longer distances become routine rather than planned events, and shorter charging stops fit naturally into everyday life.

This performance leap is not about headline numbers alone. It reflects Volvo’s broader focus on usability, ensuring that advanced battery technology and charging speeds translate into real-world convenience. Whether navigating city traffic or setting off on a long-distance journey, the EX60 is designed to remove friction from the electric experience.

Technology that works for people

The EX60 introduces a new generation of user experience, built around the idea that technology should simplify life, not complicate it. Inside, digital interfaces are intuitive and responsive, designed to keep drivers informed without overwhelming them. Seamless connectivity, intelligent assistance systems and a refined digital ecosystem work together to create a calm, confident driving environment.

Volvo’s approach to technology has always been human-centric, and the EX60 continues this philosophy. Every innovation serves a clear purpose, from enhancing safety and awareness to improving comfort and control. This is technology that earns its place, quietly supporting the driver rather than demanding attention.

Scandinavian design, reimagined for electric mobility

True to Volvo’s heritage, the EX60 embodies the best of Scandinavian design. Clean lines, balanced proportions and a focus on light and space define both its exterior and interior. The electric platform allows for a more spacious cabin and refined silhouettes, reinforcing the sense of modern luxury without excess.

Materials and finishes reflect Volvo’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and quality, combining premium tactility with responsible sourcing. The result is an interior that feels warm, considered and unmistakably contemporary, a place designed for real lives, not showroom moments.

Safety at the core

Safety has long been synonymous with the Volvo name, and the EX60 advances this legacy with the latest generation of safety technology. Drawing on decades of research and real-world data, the EX60 integrates advanced systems designed to help protect occupants and other road users alike.

These innovations are not added as afterthoughts but woven into the vehicle’s architecture and software from the beginning. The goal is simple yet ambitious: to support safer journeys through intelligent prevention, awareness and intervention when it matters most.

A defining moment in a leading segment

As Volvo’s first fully electric car in the premium mid-size SUV segment, the EX60 enters a category where the brand already holds a strong leadership position. This is a segment defined by high expectations, and the EX60 meets them with a compelling blend of performance, design and purpose-driven innovation.

More than a new model, the EX60 reflects Volvo’s vision for the future of mobility, one where electric vehicles are not just alternatives, but the obvious choice. It demonstrates how electrification, when thoughtfully executed, can enhance every aspect of the driving experience.

Join the reveal

The Volvo EX60 will be unveiled live from Stockholm on Wednesday, 21 January at 18:00 CET. The livestream will offer a first look at a vehicle designed to move the conversation forward, showcasing how Volvo continues to shape the future of premium electric mobility.

With the EX60, Volvo invites the world to experience what happens when electric performance, Scandinavian design and meaningful technology come together. This is not just the next electric car. It is the next chapter in Volvo’s evolution.
