Volvo EX60 Cross Country electric SUV unveiled

At the presentation of the new electric Volvo EX60 in Stockholm, the Swedish brand unexpectedly revealed another version: the EX60 Cross Country. This continues the long-running Cross Country line that began with the V70 XC in the late 1990s, but now in a fully electric format.

The Key Difference Is Air Suspension

The standout feature of the Volvo EX60 Cross Country is its adjustable air suspension. This is a rarity among mid-size electric crossovers. Neither the Rivian R2 nor the Tesla Model Y offer such a solution from the factory. The suspension allows for a 20 mm increase in ground clearance over the standard EX60, with an additional 20 mm available at the push of a button. At high speeds, the system lowers the body to improve aerodynamics and extend the driving range.

Cross Country Design and Features

Like other Cross Country models, the EX60 gets black protective cladding, flared wheel arches, unique wheels, and decorative elements. Protective stainless-steel plates are fitted front and rear, and an exclusive Frost Green color is offered for the model. Inside, differences are minimal: a large central screen, a digital instrument panel, and few physical buttons.

Powertrain, Range, and Charging

The EX60 Cross Country will only be available with dual-motor all-wheel drive. The base P10 AWD version comes with a 91 kWh battery pack, delivering over 480 km of range. Fast charging at up to 370 kW allows a 10% to 80% charge in about 18 minutes. The powertrain produces 503 horsepower, with a 0–97 km/h acceleration time of around 4.5 seconds.

A later P12 AWD version will feature an enlarged 112 kWh battery, around 670 horsepower, and an even greater range. However, due to the 21-inch wheels, actual autonomy figures have not yet been disclosed.

Price and Launch Timing

The standard Volvo EX60 will hit the U.S. market in summer 2026 as a 2027 model, with an estimated price around $60,000. The EX60 Cross Country will arrive later, in summer 2027 as a 2028 model, and is expected to be more expensive than the base version. In Europe, both versions are already available for pre-order.
