New Delhi: Swedish car manufacturer Volvo have unveiled technical insights for their forthcoming EX60. Scheduled to make its global premiere on January 21st, 2026, the EDX60 will introduce a new EV architecture along with advanced manufacturing techniques as well.
It will serve as the basis of Volvo’s transition to a full-electric brand. The EX60 will be coming in international markets shortly after its launch, according to the brand.
The EX60 is aiming to set a high standard in terms of efficiency and long-distance travel. In the all-wheel-drive setup, Volvo expects the SUV to have the best in the segment performance with 810 km under the WLTP cycle. In the North American market, the same setup is estimated to have around 644 km range according to EPA standards.
The Swedish carmaker have moved to an 800-volt electrical system with the EX60. Unlike the 400-volt systems common in most at present EVs, with higher voltage allowing vehicles to sustain higher power levels with lower current, minimising the heat generation and improving overall energy efficiency.
Further, the EX60 can add about 340 km in 20 minutes when connected with a 400 kW DC fast charger under optimal conditions. Volvo are offering a 10-year battery pack warranty to support the high-performance hardware over the long term. Most importantly, the brand developed the thermal management software in partnership with Breathe Battery Technologies.
The EX60 will be serving as the global debut for the SPA3 platform, designed specifically for electric powertrains. This differs from the previous design structures were meant to accommodate internal combustion engines. SPA3 uses cell-to-body technology where the battery pack is integrated directly into the vehicle’s chassis. This in turn makes the battery into a load-bearing component, which increases the SUV’s structural rigidity, improves the safety in a crash scenario and lowers the centre of gravity for better handling.
With EX60, Volvo, in the first place, is implementing mega casting, which uses massive die-casting machines to make one single, large aluminium components that replace multiple smaller, individual parts that would be welded together.
