Volvo has locked in its next big electric car for Australia. The EX60 is a mid-size SUV that slots between the small EX30 and the seven-seat EX90, and it lands with a starting price of $86,990 before on-road costs. That is sharp for the segment, enough to sit under a BMW iX3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC EV that is still on its way. Orders are open now, with first deliveries due late in 2026.
The EX60 matters more than the average new Volvo because it is the first car on the brand's new SPA3 platform. That brings an 800V electrical system, faster charging and the kind of range that takes road-trip anxiety off the table.
Pricing
| Variant | Drivetrain | Price (before on-roads) |
|---|---|---|
| EX60 Ultra P6 | RWD | $86,990 |
| EX60 Ultra P10 | AWD | $101,990 |
Two variants open the range. A longer-range P12 AWD rated at 810km and a more affordable entry model are both confirmed for 2027, so the lineup will grow at both ends.
Specs and Powertrain
| Spec | Ultra P6 RWD | Ultra P10 AWD |
|---|---|---|
| Motor layout | Single, rear | Dual motor |
| Power | 275 kW | 375 kW |
| Torque | 480 Nm | 710 Nm |
| Battery (usable) | 83 kWh | 95 kWh |
| Range (WLTP) | 610 km | 660 km |
| Architecture | 800V | 800V |
| Max DC charge | 320 kW | 370 kW |
| Platform | SPA3 | SPA3 |
The single-motor P6 is no slouch at 275kW, and for most buyers its 610km of range will be plenty. The P10 adds a front motor for all-wheel drive, jumps to 375kW and 710Nm, and stretches range to 660km on the bigger 95kWh battery. Both share the 800V backbone, which is the headline feature here.
Why 800V Matters
An 800V system lets the EX60 pull serious charging speeds, up to 320kW on the P6 and 370kW on the P10. In practice that means a 10 to 80 percent top-up in well under half an hour on a fast enough charger, so a long drive becomes a short coffee stop rather than a planning exercise. It also future-proofs the car as more high-power chargers roll out across the country. For where the EX60 fits among rivals, see our best electric SUVs guide.
How It Compares
At $86,990 the EX60 P6 undercuts the BMW iX3 and lands ahead of the Mercedes-Benz GLC EV that is still due. It also has to answer the value question posed by the Zeekr 7X and Tesla Model Y, both of which are cheaper. Volvo is betting that its badge, its safety reputation and that 800V platform are worth the step up. For the broader EV picture, our best electric cars guide tracks the whole market.
Our Take
The EX60 looks like the EV Volvo needed. It is the right size for Australian families, the range is strong, and the 800V platform finally gives a Volvo EV the charging speed to match the newer rivals. The starting price is keen for the segment too. The catch is the same one facing every premium EV right now, which is that Chinese rivals offer similar space and range for a lot less money. If you want a Volvo specifically, this is the one to wait for. If you are shopping on numbers alone, the cross-shop list is long.
