Volvo teased its upcoming EX60 crossover, with plenty of notice before the reveal.
Normally when an automaker does a profile teaser like this, we’re about a week or two away from the full reveal. Take Acura with the RSX, for example: It put out notice just a few days before the prototype’s debut during Monterey Car Week. In the case of the Volvo EX60? You get a cool four-and-a-half months to mull this one over before the company is actually ready to show it to us. Even well ahead of time, though, we have a few hints at what we can expect.
The first couple clues you can pull straight from the image above. With the hallmark Thor’s Hammer running lights and angled rear profile with split LED taillights, you get a solid idea of what to expect. Much like the existing XC60, its electric counterpart will effective by a mini-EX90. Volvo also gave a few minor teasers of its signature elements over the past year or so, before Wednesday’s date announcement.
“Born electric, [the EX60] will be the first electric car launched on our latest technology base — delivering a longer electric range than any Volvo car before it, along with a groundbreaking user experience,” the company says of its impending launch. That’s not a statement dripping with details, of course, but that range claim is at least an indirect swipe at market leaders like Tesla, and in overseas markets Chinese automaker BYD. This will also be the first vehicle built on the company’s latest-generation SPA3 scalable platform, which incorporates elements like megacasting the rear underfloor as a single piece to improve interior space, decrease weight (and cost) and speed up production.
Volvo says it will build the new EX60 at its Torslanda plant in Gothenburg, Sweden, rather than China like the recently announced XC70 plug-in hybrid or the electric ES90 sedan.
If you’re interested to know more, at least you’ll know when to expect the rest of the information we don’t have. Volvo will livestream the reveal from an event in Stockholm on January 21, 2026.
