Exterior design details of the Volvo EX60

The all-new Volvo EX60 is based on the revolutionary SPA3 architecture. This platform is set to revolutionise the brand and its upcoming cars worldwide.

In terms of design, it features a crossover silhouette. With the modern traits like the closed front grille, diagonal Volvo logo and the trademark Thor-hammer LED lights. 

The side profile is more like a crossover with a sloping roofline and a prominent shoulder design. Additionally, it gets big wheel arches, flush-type door handles, and 20- to 22-inch alloy wheels.

The rear profile gets the new XC60-inspired vertical LED taillights, a black stripe on the upper side of the boot, and a subtle rear bumper design with a single silver line running through its width.

It will be available in Dark and Light exterior themes, with one offering the black exterior colour and the latter offering silver shade. With subtle design and smooth panels, it has a drag coefficient of only 0.23 Cd, which makes it very efficient.

Cross Country Volvo EX90 details

Volvo has also crafted an off-road specimen based on the EX90, called Cross Country. This specific variant is loaded with an air suspension and 20 mm more ground clearance than the standard model.

Additionally, it gets a rugged body cladding with stainless steel skid plates and a unique Forest Green exterior paint. On the inside, this variant features the unique materials and theme, which are elevated by Cross Country branding.

Charging time of the Volvo EX60

For the first time in the segment, the Volvo EX90 offers fast charging support of up to 400 kW. While there are not many rapid chargers of such capacity, one can juice it from 10-80% in just 18 minutes. The Volvo EX60 is also compatible with the Tesla Superchargers.

The rapid charging support can add 340 km of range in just 10 minutes, which beats its direct rivals like the Tesla Model Y and the BMW iX3.

When will it launch in the UAE?

Volvo will start the production of the EX90 in March at its Sweden-based facility. Later, it will be debuted in other countries and regions like the Middle East. We expect the new EX90 to launch in the UAE by 2027. It will be priced against the Tesla Model Y, and hence the launch price could be AED 180,000 to AED 240,000.
