Volvo Unveils EX60: Midsize EV with 400-Mile Range, Fast Charging and Google Gemini
Volvo unveiled the EX60 midsize electric SUV with up to 400-mile EPA range, 400 kW charging, SPA3 platform, Google Gemini integration, and Cross Country variants.
Overview
Volvo introduced the EX60 midsize electric SUV at a Stockholm event; positioned between the EX30 and EX90, it is central to Volvo's EV strategy and aims to replicate XC60 sales.
Three powertrains—P6 single-motor, P10 dual-motor, and P12 high-performance—offer estimated EPA ranges from about 310 to 400 miles depending on battery size and wheel selection.
EX60 supports peak DC charging up to 370–400 kW for rapid 10–80 percent fills in roughly 18–19 minutes and includes Nvidia and Qualcomm compute hardware for ADAS and infotainment.
New SPA3 platform, megacasting and cell-to-body battery architecture reduce weight and emissions; Google Gemini, advanced ADAS, and a multi-adaptive safety belt debut on the EX60.
P6 and P10 enter production in April with U.S. orders late spring and deliveries in summer; Volvo projects a "around $60,000" price for a well-equipped EX60.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame the story optimistically by foregrounding Volvo's claims—like the 400‑mile range and the 'no‑lag' UX—using promotional language ('promises', 'fresh start') and competitive comparisons. Editorial choices prioritize company-sourced details while giving only brief, secondary space to criticism (e.g., Consumer Reports' past software problems), lacking independent verification.
