Volvo’s electric vehicle programme continues to expand globally despite manufacturing challenges. The EX60 midsize SUV, which offers up to 810 km of range and 400 kW fast-charging, has seen high demand with over 50,000 orders in Europe. However, the implementation of megacasting and cell-to-body construction has limited output to approximately 5,000 units since April, delaying substantial U.S. shipments until the second half of 2027. Technical specifications for the EX60 have been detailed, revealing three powertrain options: the P6 Single Motor RWD (374 hp, up to 611 km WLTP), the P10 Twin Motor AWD (510 hp, up to 660 km WLTP), and a high-performance P12 Twin Motor AWD variant delivering 680 hp and 0–100 km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds. The EX60 is the first vehicle built on Volvo’s new SPA3 base architecture, featuring an 800-volt electrical system for fast charging. Real-world testing has noted high levels of interior comfort and an average consumption of approximately 20 kWh/100 km. Flagship models are seeing widespread international launches. The ES90 electric sedan has officially launched in Turkey, with the Ultra Twin Motor Performance variant priced at 7,027,440 TL. Pre-orders for the EX90 and ES90 have also opened in Vietnam. In India, the EX90 luxury SUV launched at ₹1.26 crore, featuring a 106kWh battery and a 625 km WLTP range. Product diversification continues with the expansion of the EX30 lineup, including the EX30 Cross Country RWD in Japan, and the announcement of the upcoming EX50. The EX50 is an electric SUV positioned between the EX40 and EX60, intended to compete with the Tesla Model Y and produced in Slovakia. Additionally, Volvo is planning to enter the large luxury SUV segment with a new flagship model to be manufactured in South ~~Carolina, focusing on hybrid propulsion and improved cabin ergonomics.~~ Carolina.
