VOLVO has revealed its new EX60 which is a new, all-electric mid-size SUV is claimed to change the game in the largest electric market segment in terms of range, charging speed, performance and price.

The five-seater, family-friendly EX60 ends range anxiety, delivers a groundbreaking user experience and represents the next frontier in safety.

It is also Volvo Cars' first entry in the largest electric segment globally, allowing it to substantially increase its addressable market and electric market share.

"The new, all-electric EX60 changes the game in terms of range, charging and price and represents a new beginning for Volvo Cars and our customers," said Hakan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars.

"With this car, we remove all remaining obstacles for going electric. This fantastic new car is also a testament of what we are capable of at Volvo Cars, with an all-new product architecture introducing new key technologies - mega casting, cell-to-body and core computing."

The EX60 has a best-in-class range of 503 mileson a single charge in an all-wheel drive configuration. This doesn't just make it go further than any electric car that Volvo Cars has ever created it also beats its recently revealed competitors, setting a new standard for its segment.

That same approach is reflected in how fast it charges. The EX60 can add up to 211 miles of range in ten minutes when using a 400kW fast charger.

Volvo claims the EX60 turns range anxiety into range comfort and demonstrates that going electric is no longer a compromise.

The EX60 is available with three different powertrain variants.

The P12 AWD Electric variant offers the class-leading range of up to 503 miles, while the P10 AWD Electric clocks in at a range of up to 410 miles.

A rear-wheel powered P6 Electric variant delivers up to 385 miles of range. All in all, the EX60 is available in seven attractive variants, covering all needs and lifestyles.

The EX60 comes with 10 years of battery warranty.

The EX60 is built on SPA3, Volvo Cars' new electric vehicle architecture, and powered by HuginCore, the Volvo Cars core system.

In terms of design, the EX60 takes the company's Scandinavian design principles further into an all-electric era.

A low front, a sloping roofline and tapered body sides all boost overall aerodynamic efficiency.

As a result, the EX60 slides through the air and has a very competitive drag coefficient of 0.26, contributing to the class-leading range.

The long wheelbase and flat floor create much more legroom in the rear, as well as a large luggage compartment and various smart storage spaces for personal items.

The EX60 will be the first Volvo with Apple Music pre-installed with Dolby Atmos, delivering an immersive Spatial Audio experience.

It is one of the safest cars on the market and represents the purest form of the Volvo Cars Safety Standard, going above and beyond regulations and rating requirements.

Volvo Cars' multi-adaptive safety belt, a world-first and award-winning safety innovation, will offer smarter and more personalised protection in the front row. At the core of the EX60's safety structure is the safety cage, strengthened with boron steel. Inside, state-of-the-art restraints work together to help provide optimal protection.

The EX60 will benefit from regular over-the-air updates, meaning that a car that is great from day one will get better as time goes on.

Production starts this spring at Volvo Cars' car factory in Sweden. Customer deliveries of the P6 and P10 variants will start this summer, with the P12 following soon after that.

Volvo has also given a first look at the EX60 in another flavour as it introduced the newest entry in its popular line-up of Cross Country models.

The EX60 Cross Country provides customers with all the benefits found in the EX60: class-leading electric range, fast charging, and state-of-the-art technology that makes life easier, safer, better and more enjoyable.

First introduced in 1997, all Cross Country models come with a bold, distinctive design, a more robust and expressive look, culminating in a statement of freedom and exploration.

"The EX60 Cross Country is the EX60 for anyone with a ‘go anywhere' attitude," says Erik Severinson, chief commercial officer. "Built to do more and see more, the EX60 Cross Country embodies not only the sense of exploration but also a reflection of achievement. We basically invented this segment and we felt the EX60 was the perfect next Volvo to get the Cross Country treatment."

The EX60 Cross Country comes with special wheels that are exclusive to Cross Country models, as well as clear, well-considered Cross Country branding in the front and rear bumpers as well as on the rear-pillar. Skid plates in brushed stainless steel at the front and back emphasise the car's look, while wider rugged wheel arches further enhance its overall presence.

The EX60, the Cross Country sits another 20 millimetres higher off the ground and with the help of the air suspension, drivers can add another 20 millimetres of riding height if needed.

The air suspension can also lower the car, which enhances high-speed efficiency, stability and aerodynamics.

This is especially helpful for drivers that travel on the highway and want to maximise the range of the battery.

Customers can choose between two all-wheel-drive powertrain options - a P10 AWD Electric with up to 397 miles of range which is the first variant to become available, followed shortly after by a P12 AWD Electric with longer range.

The EX60 will be priced from £56,360 for the entry-level P6 rear-wheel-drive model, while the dual-motor P10 starts from £59,860 and the range-topping P12 version with a class-leading 503-mile range and 671bhp, is priced from £64,860.

The Cross County variant will cost from around £56,850.
