Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Toyota Prado uses a 2.8L 4-cyl Turbo-Diesel 48V V-Active producing 150kW and 500Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a 4WD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 9.6 seconds.
The Volvo EX60 responds with a Electric making 275kW and 480Nm, paired to a single-speed driving the rear wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 5.9 seconds.
The Volvo EX60 has the clear power advantage at 275kW vs 150kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Volvo EX60 is 3.7s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Toyota Prado measures 4,990mm long on a 2,850mm wheelbase, 187mm longer than the Volvo EX60 at 4,803mm (2,970mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Volvo EX60 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 408L in the Toyota Prado and 523L in the Volvo EX60, giving the Volvo EX60 a 115L advantage.
For towing, the Toyota Prado leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 2,000kg. That 1,500kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Volvo EX60's turning circle is 1.0 m tighter, 11.0 m against 12.0 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Toyota Prado costs about $2,166 a year (7.6 L/100km) and electricity for the Volvo EX60 about $715 a year (14.9 kWh/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota Prado) and 5 years / Unlimited (Volvo EX60).
Where each one leads
The Toyota Prado: the lower starting price ($72,500 against $86,990) and the higher braked towing limit (3,500kg against 2,000kg).
The Volvo EX60: more power (275kW against 150kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (523L against 408L).
The Verdict
Toyota Prado scores higher, 77 vs 71
The Toyota Prado scores 77 to the Volvo EX60's 71 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 2 of the 5 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: safety (Toyota Prado ahead by 35 points), performance (Volvo EX60 ahead by 24 points). Boot space with the seats up: 408L in the Toyota Prado, 523L in the Volvo EX60.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
