Powertrains, range, batteries, performance (Volvo’s published specs)
Volvo is positioning EX60 with three drivetrains (Volvo’s naming: P6 / P10 / P12) and 800-volt tech standard. (Volvo Cars)
WLTP range (preliminary) + consumption
- P6 (RWD): up to 620 km, 14.7 kWh/100 km (Volvo Cars)
- P10 AWD: up to 660 km, 15.7 kWh/100 km (Volvo Cars)
- P12 AWD: up to 810 km, 16.0 kWh/100 km (Volvo Cars)
Battery sizes
- P6: 83 kWh
- P10: 95 kWh
- P12: 117 kWh (Volvo Cars)
Power + 0–100 km/h
- P6: up to 374 hp, 0–100: 5.9 s (Volvo Cars)
- P10 AWD: up to 510 hp, 0–100: 4.6 s (Volvo Cars)
- P12 AWD: up to 680 hp, 0–100: 3.9 s (Volvo Cars)
Charging (DC speed, 10–80%, “km in 10 minutes”)
- DC fast charging capability referenced at 400 kW (where available):
- 10–80%: about 18 min (P6 300 kW / P10 400 kW / P12 400 kW; P12 shown as 19 min) (Volvo Cars)
- Volvo claims up to ~340 km added in ~10 minutes at a DC fast charger (context: 800V system). (Volvo Cars)
- Route planning and charging are integrated with Google Maps, plus battery pre-conditioning for faster charging stops. (Volvo Cars)
Platform & engineering (what’s new vs earlier Volvos)
- New SPA3 800-volt platform, with cell-to-body (CTB) battery integration and mega casting (large aluminum castings to reduce parts/complexity). (Volvo Cars)
- Volvo’s new HuginCore “core computing” approach underpins safety, infotainment, OTA updates, and feature growth. (Autoweek)
Door handles (your specific question)
Multiple outlets describing the production design indicate non-traditional, electrically operated handles integrated as small “winglet/fin” tabs at the beltline/window trim, rather than pop-out flush handles on the door skin. (Motor1.com).
(Pop-out handles forbidden from 2027 in China – accident initiated )
- Safety/operability note: Road & Track reports Volvo engineering describes double-redundancy to keep these handles operable from outside after a crash. (Road & Track)
Audio / sound system (full published configuration)
Volvo’s EX60 tech page lists two premium systems: (Volvo Cars)
- Bowers & Wilkins High-Fidelity (top): 28 speakers / 1820 W, Dolby Atmos, Dirac Unison, plus selectable “virtual room” modes. (Volvo Cars)
- Bose Premium Sound: 21 speakers / 1200 W, 3D surround, Bose Perceptual Sound Rendering, and “Fresh Air” subwoofer. (Volvo Cars)
Safety (what Volvo has actually disclosed so far)
- EX60 debuts Volvo’s “multi-adaptive” seatbelt (front seats standard): uses sensor data inside and outside the car to adjust belt load/tension based on crash situation and occupant factors (size/seating position). (Volvo Cars)
- Volvo positions EX60 with a broad suite of preventive safety (warnings, automatic braking/steering) plus protective systems and driver/parking assist. The detailed feature list is presented at a category level today, with more specifics typically market/trim dependent. (Volvo Cars)
- Volvo also calls out Pilot Assist (including lane change assist) as part of the driver support stack on EX60. (Volvo Cars)
Infotainment, software, and computing
- Google built-in with Google Gemini as the in-car AI assistant (natural language; intended to expand via OTA; language availability starts limited). (Volvo Cars)
- Volvo publishes the core compute stack as NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin plus Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255, with stated compute capacity of 254 TOPS (trillion operations per second). (Volvo Cars)
- Continuous improvement via over-the-air updates is a core promise of the EX60 software platform. (Volvo Cars)
Practicality (cargo volumes)
- Cargo: 634 L seats up, 1647 L seats folded (as presented on Volvo’s site), plus 63 L under-floor compartment and 58 L frunk. (Volvo Cars)
Availability & production
- Built in Gothenburg/Torslanda; Europe launch in summer 2026, US later (timing varies by source/market brief). (Reuters)
