The electric offensive continues at Volvo. After the EX90 large SUV introduced a few months agothey are starting to talk about another model: EX60. This is not surprising, the brand seeks only to offer only electric models until 2030. She was one of the first to take the initiative. This goal seems achievable when we know that the manufacturer’s current range is fully electrified. Even thermal models are offered with 48V light hybridization. Even better, the XC40, XC60 and XC90 SUVs, as well as the S60 and V60 sedans, have a hybrid version. finally, Volvo already offers three electric models, namely the XC40 crossover, the C40 sedan and the latest EX90 model.which is the 100% electric equivalent of the XC90 large SUV.

Know-how thanks to Geely

Specializing in platforms and electrical technology, this one is the first Chinese manufacturer in the world! This is the same Geely that owns the brands Polar StarLotus and Lynk&Co, which is a shareholder of Smart. Volvo therefore benefits from this electrical know-howto accelerate its development and achieve the goals by 2030.

Its range will eventually consist of only models starting with the letter E (for electric, of course), following the trend started by the EX90.

Reduced EX90

So what do we already know about it? Even if there is less information than for the EX30, we already know some details. Starting with his platform. It will be based on Geely Group’s new SPA2 architecture, which is introduced by the EX90. Being modular, it will eventually allow several models of different sizes and philosophies to be offered in addition to the already well-established SEA platform. He must benefit from Geely mechanicsand in particular a 111 kWh battery, which we already find on his older brother. In theory, this allows a autonomy of 590 kilometersto charge 10-80% in just 30 minutes.

As for engines, it is more vague: it will be offered in single- and dual-engine options. On an aesthetic level, it will unsurprisingly be a scaled-down version of the EX90. On board, refined and technological, like the current creations of Volvo. WITH large central digital panelAND several driving assistance systems..
