Volvo EX60 Cross Country model year 2028 - Overview
The five-seater, family-friendly EX60 Cross Country ends range anxiety, delivers a groundbreaking user experience and represents the next frontier in safety. Built on SPA3, Volvo Cars’ new electric vehicle architecture, and powered by HuginCore, the Volvo Cars core system, the EX60 Cross Country sets new standards in scalability, modularity, manufacturing efficiencies and cost. Cell-to-body technology, next-generation in-house developed e-motors, a new battery cell design and mega casting all help to boost energy efficiency and driving range, while reducing weight.
In terms of design, the EX60 Cross Country takes the company’s Scandinavian design principles further into an all-electric era. First introduced in 1997, all Cross Country models come with a bold, distinctive design, a more robust and expressive look, culminating in a statement of freedom and exploration.
The Cross Country variant comes in Frost Green, a new colour which is exclusive to this car and reflects the inspiration Volvo Cars designers find in Scandinavian nature. The model also comes with special wheels that are exclusive to Cross Country models, as well as clear, well-considered Cross Country branding in the front and rear bumpers as well as on the D-pillar. Skid plates in brushed stainless steel at the front and back emphasise the car’s expressive look, while wider rugged wheel arches further enhance its overall presence.
However, the EX60 Cross Country is not just about looks. This being an SUV, it already provides the higher seating position that is appreciated by customers worldwide. It gives confidence, a better overview of the road ahead and enhances an overall sense of being in control.
On this car, Volvo Cars cranks up those benefits. Compared with the EX60, the Cross Country sits another 20 millimetres higher off the ground, which further boosts that visibility and sense of control. With the help of the air suspension, drivers can add another 20 millimetres of riding height if needed. The air suspension can also lower the car, which enhances high-speed efficiency, stability and aerodynamics. This is especially helpful for drivers that travel on the highway and want to maximise the range of the battery.
There are two powertrain options available for the EX60 Cross Country: the P10 AWD Electric and P12 AWD Electric, both of which will arrive in 2027.
For those who love music, the EX60 Cross Country is an excellent choice with a premium 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system. For the first time in a Volvo car, this system also includes headrest speakers in all four main seats.
Connectivity and infotainment
As Volvo Cars’ most intelligent car yet, the EX60 Cross Country is packed with state-of-the-art technology designed to improve life behind the wheel. The EX60 is powered by the latest iteration of HuginCore, the Volvo Cars core system that empowers the car to think, process and act. It embodies the company’s approach to technology development, combining in-house development and collaboration with tech leaders such as Google, NVIDIA and Qualcomm Technologies Inc.
The EX60 Cross Country is also launched with Gemini, the new AI assistant from Google. Gemini is deeply integrated with your car and lets you have natural and personalised conversations without having to remember specific commands.
The EX60 Cross Country also contains the most responsive user experience in any Volvo car to date. In this seamless and no-lag infotainment system, screens respond quickly, maps load instantly, voice assistants understand passengers better, and everything feels smooth, while the UX provides quicker access to key functions.
Finally, the EX60 Cross Country is designed to improve over time. It will benefit from regular over-the-air updates, meaning that a car that is great from day one will get better as time goes on.
Safety and driver assistance
Enabled by HuginCore, the EX60 Cross Country reaches new levels of safety, as it constantly assesses the world around the car through its wide array of sensors. The result is a car with a clear and precise understanding of its surroundings.
Volvo Cars’ multi-adaptive safety belt, a world-first and award-winning safety innovation, will offer smarter and more personalised protection in the front row. At the core of the EX60 Cross Country’s safety structure is the safety cage, strengthened with boron steel. Inside, state-of-the-art restraints work together to help provide optimal protection.
