Space & Comfort
The Volvo EX60 measures 4,803mm long on a 2,970mm wheelbase, 16mm longer than the Zeekr 7X at 4,787mm (2,900mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Volvo EX60 generally means more rear legroom.

Where each one leads
The Volvo EX60: lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($715 a year against $816).
The Zeekr 7X: the lower starting price ($57,900 against $86,990), more power (310kW against 275kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (539L against 523L).

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.
