VOLVO EX60 vs POLESTAR 4

Below is a full “all-details” comparison of Volvo EX60 vs Polestar 4 using official Volvo/Polestar specification sources where possible, and clearly marking where data is market/trim dependent.

Sources used most heavily:

  • Volvo EX60 MY27 retail pricelist (EUR) + technical details + trim/option lists (dated 22 Jan 2026; includes Plus/Ultra content, option codes & € prices, battery sizes, charging times, weights, towing, cargo, etc.).
  • Polestar 4 Sweden technical specifications (prices, drivetrain, range/consumption, weights, towing, dimensions, cargo, infotainment, safety/ADAS, and pack content). (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
  • Pack price references for Polestar 4 in Sweden from Swedish press (because Polestar’s configurator is JS-heavy and didn’t expose pricing reliably in the tool). (Göteborgs-Posten)

Implication: On published numbers, EX60 is markedly more efficient (WLTP kWh/100 km) and offers higher peak power (especially P12), while Polestar 4 Dual is the quicker sprint car (3.8 s vs EX60 P12 3.9 s) by a hair in the published figures.

3) Battery, charging, range

Battery size & WLTP range

Battery (usable)P6: 80 kWh; P10: 91 kWh; P12: 112 kWh100 kWh capacity, 400V lithium-ion (cell-to-pack, 110 cells) (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
WLTP rangeP6: 620 km; P10: 660 km; P12: 810 kmSingle: 620 km target; Dual: 590 km target (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)

DC fast charging & AC charging

ItemVolvo EX60Polestar 4
DC peak / architectureThe tech table explicitly shows 800V DC charging entries up to 370 kW (and also 400V fallback cases).Up to 200 kW DC, 400V battery system. (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
10–80% DC timeIn the technical table: P6: 15 min @ 320 kW (800V); P10: 15 min @ 370 kW (800V); P12: 19 min @ 370 kW (800V) (and slower times shown for 400V 120 kW).10–80% in 30 min (published). (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
AC charging3-phase onboard charger 22 kW is listed as standard feature in the pricelist (with a note that home charging can be limited by supply).11 kW AC, 22 kW with Plus pack; AC 0–100% 11h (11 kW) or 5.5h (22 kW). (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)

Road-trip reality check: Published data positions EX60 as the faster charger (especially on true 800V HPC), while Polestar 4 is capped at 200 kW / ~30 min for 10–80%.

4) Size, weight, towing, cargo

Dimensions and turning circle

ItemVolvo EX60Polestar 4

Wheelbase(Included in Volvo specs section in the PDF.)2,999 mm (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
Height(Included in Volvo specs section in the PDF.)1,534 mm (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
Turning circle(Included in Volvo specs section in the PDF.)11.64 m (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)

Weights, towing, payload

ItemVolvo EX60Polestar 4
Kerb / running orderKerb: 2,115 / 2,275 / 2,330 kg (P6/P10/P12). Running order: 2,190 / 2,350 / 2,405 kg.Curb (“tjänstevikt”): 2,230 kg (Single) / 2,355 kg (Dual). (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
Braked towing2,000 kg (P6); 2,400 kg (P10/P12)Up to 1,500 kg (Single); up to 2,000 kg (Dual) (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
Towball / roof load100 kg / 100 kg (all P6/P10/P12 shown)(Polestar lists towing and many load dimensions; towing values are explicit on the SE spec page.) (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
Payload~460 kg (P6/P10) / 455 kg (P12)(Not highlighted in the excerpt above; the SE spec page focuses on curb weight, towing, dimensions, and storage measurements.) (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)

Cargo volume

ItemVolvo EX60Polestar 4
Rear trunkVolvo lists multiple measurement methods: to roof: 634 L (5-seat) / 1,647 L (2-seat); to glass line: 523 L / 998 L.Polestar lists 526 L with rear seats up (incl. underfloor) and 1,536 L with seats folded (incl. underfloor). (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)
Frunk(Volvo’s cargo section excerpt shown focuses on rear volumes; frunk is not in the excerpted lines.)15 L frunk. (Pure progressive performance | Polestar)

Utility conclusion:

  • If towing is a priority: EX60 (P10/P12) = 2,400 kg beats Polestar 4 Dual = 2,000 kg.
  • Cargo: both are strong; Volvo publishes multiple volume methods, Polestar publishes a single “including underfloor” method—so compare carefully, but both are in the same ballpark by the official numbers shown.

5) Chassis, brakes, suspension

Polestar 4 (very explicit per drivetrain / pack)

Volvo EX60

The Volvo pricelist excerpt we captured is strongest on power/battery/charging/weights/cargo and on trim equipment. Detailed suspension/brake hardware is not as explicitly enumerated in the extracted section as it is for Polestar 4.

6) Infotainment, displays, connectivity

Polestar 4 (display stack is clearly specified)

Volvo EX60 (software/services list is explicit)

In Plus standard features, Volvo lists:

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google Automotive Services, Google Maps, and voice with Google Assistant + Google Gemini (including vehicle functions / web searches / connected home), OTA updates, and Volvo Car Connect services.
  • Also listed: Volvo Car Connect Plus for 4 years with unlimited mobile data (for in-car apps/vehicle comms).

7) Driver assistance and safety sensors

Polestar 4 (sensor suite is described)

Polestar’s safety/assist section lists (among other items):

Pilot pack content (at minimum, from the spec page excerpt):

Volvo EX60

The pricelist excerpt we captured shows extensive connected/infotainment capability and “Driver Support” items for Ultra like Pixel headlights with adaptive shadow tech etc., but it does not enumerate the full ADAS sensor list in the same way Polestar’s SE spec page does (within the excerpt we pulled).

9) So what’s “better” depends on your use case

Choose Volvo EX60 if you prioritize:

  • Fast DC charging and 800V behavior (published 10–80 as low as 15–19 min depending on variant).
  • Higher towing ceiling (up to 2,400 kg on AWD).
  • Higher WLTP range ceiling (up to 810 km on P12).

Choose Polestar 4 if you prioritize:

If you want, I can turn this into a single “mega-matrix” (every row = one feature)

I’ll do it in the style you usually like:

  • Columns: EX60 Plus / EX60 Ultra / Polestar 4 Single / Polestar 4 Dual / Pilot / Plus / Pro / Performance
  • Rows: powertrain, battery/charging, dimensions/loads, cabin/comfort, infotainment, ADAS, wheels/tires, lighting, materials, options & prices
