Overview

The EX60 is the first Volvo built on the SPA3 platform, an evolution of the already-existing Scalable Product Architecture platform.

[2] It will be built in Torslanda and its platform will eventually underpin all Volvo models. [3]

It is also the first Volvo to feature a standard NACS charging port, offering up to a 400 kW DC fast charger that adds an estimated 170 miles of range in 10 minutes. [4]

Features

The EX60 uses a frunk that allows for items to be stored at the front. The infotainment system used by the EX60 is claimed to have no lag and is powered by Nvidia's AGX Orin platform with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255 CPU. It has Google Gemini built into the infotainment system. [6]
