Volvo EX60 review

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 12:00 PM

Volvo takes aim at the BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC with its own 400-plus-mile SUV One all-important new car on a brand-new platform from a major European manufacturer is big news; three of them is a sign of a generational shift.At the start of the year, the BMW iX3 made all of its rivals look like amateurs, but instead of having the premium medium-sized corner of the electric SUV market to itself for the foreseeable future, it’s now facing two fierce opponents. First there came the Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric with very competitive specs, now Volvo is staking its claim with the Volvo EX60, for the makings of the group test of 2026.The importance of these cars is not to be understated. The small executive saloon (aka BMW 3 Series rival) has had a good run, but the circa-4.8m-long electric SUV is quickly taking its place.To the EX60, then. Let’s run through the vital stats before we get into the details. There will be a version with more than 500 miles of WLTP range, and the platform is a dedicated EV one with 800V electricals and 370kW charging. Power is between 369bhp and 671bhp. There’s 523 litres of boot space, plus a decent-size frunk. It’s £56,860 for the basic single-motor EX60, £59,860 for the dual-motor one that most people are going to buy and £70,360 for the top-flight car. Like-for-like, that’s more than for the iX3, but the finance deals look to even things out, so on paper the EX60 has all the attributes to tempt you away from Munich or Stuttgart.
