Volvo EX60 pricing is now in black and white. The new mid-size electric SUV starts at $86,990 MRRP for the Ultra P6 RWD and rises to $101,990 for the Ultra P10 AWD, with Australian buyers getting their babies late in 2026. Volvo wants the EX60 to sit in the sweet spot between smaller electric crossovers and the big-daddy EX90, which is a neat way of finding a model for every niche.
The P6 RWD has an 83kWh battery good for 610km WLTP and the The P10 AWD upgrdes that to a 95kWh battery with a 660km range. P10’s 375kW/710Nm output gets the Volvo from 0 to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds, only a smidge faster than the respectable 5.9 seconds for the rear-drive car.
Both local EX60 models are built on 800V architecture, which allows use of faster DC chargers though most owners will still plug in at home. Volvo EX60 gets a ten-year battery warranty, and is the first Volvo on the new SPA3 electric platform. It cell-to-body construction, fresh in-house e-motors, mega casting and a new battery cell design to cut weight and push range.

That platform story follows the earlier Volvo EX60 production and orders push, where the Swedish brand was already talking up demand before local buyers had a price. Now they do, and the numbers place the EX60 straight into premium segment with the Germans. Strangely, and perhaps ominously, it is also a place where Korean electric SUV have crept.
Specification is suitably generous. EX60 gets 21-inch Gloss Black and Matt Graphite five-spoke diamond-cut wheels, a Bowers and Wilkins hi-fi system, electrochromic panoramic roof, rear glass tinting and integrated child booster cushions. The P10 then adds active suspension and ventilated Nappa leather. Heating and cooling should be mandatory on all EVs as it is the most efficient way to get the temperature right.
Volvo is also loading the EX60 with its new HuginCore brain and Google Gemini voice assistant to fix the previous problems the EX30 and EX90 experienced. The Swede’s software push is a promise of faster screens, better voice control and a car that keeps improving through over-the-air updates. Buyers will decide how much patience they still have for software promises after years of laggy car screens from almost everyone. Android Automotive OS has been an issue for all brands using it, including sister brand Polestar.
Safety is as wlays, Volvo’s favourite hymn. The EX60 gets a sensor-heavy safety suite, a boron steel safety cage and Volvo’s multi-adaptive safety belt for the front row. It also claims a 0.26 drag coefficient, and there are eight launch colours including Forest Lake and Heather Bronze, and the lowest carbon footprint yet for a fully electric Volvo, matching the smaller EX30. The EV buyers is already sensitive to carbon footprints, so the smaller the better.
The price also explains why Volvo cut EX30 and EX40 prices ahead of the EX60. The range needs clear steps if buyers are going to understand where the models sit. At $86,990, the EX60 P6 is not cheap, but the range and standard kit make the argument. At $101,990, the P10 has to feel like a real luxury electric SUV, not merely a quick one with a big battery and a Swedish passport. It would be churlish not to mention that this is the first fully electric vehicle to be entirely designed, developed, and built in Sweden.
