The new Volvo EX60 Cross Country is built to do and see more
The EX60 Cross Country is the EX60 for anyone with a ‘go anywhere’ attitude. Built to do more and see more, it embodies a sense of exploration.
www.volvocars.comHere are the latest updates on the Volvo EX60 Cross Country as of May 2026.
Overview
- Volvo has positioned the EX60 Cross Country as the more rugged, off-road-oriented variant of the EX60, with higher ground clearance, skid plates, and all-wheel drive across the lineup. This aligns with Volvo’s Cross Country heritage of added capability and a more adventurous character, while preserving the EX60’s electric efficiency and technology.[3][6][7]
Key developments and details
- Debut timing and range: The Cross Country variant was introduced alongside the standard EX60, with AWD as the standard drivetrain for the Cross Country models. Early reports suggest ranges in the vicinity of 300–400 miles depending on battery and configuration, mirroring the base EX60’s emphasis on efficiency and long-range capability.[4][5][6][3]
- Distinctive features: Expect exclusive exterior styling cues for the Cross Country, including more rugged stance, increased wheel arch protection, and skid plates, as well as a higher ride height and wider track to improve off-road confidence.[5][3][4]
- Powertrains and charging: The Cross Country is built on Volvo’s latest electric architecture with 800-volt capability and rapid DC charging, offering multiple battery options (e.g., around 83–117 kWh), paired with P10 AWD or P12 AWD powertrains for strong performance and longer range.[8][3][4]
- Availability and markets: Volvo has indicated U.S. and European market availability with deliveries anticipated in 2026–2027 timeframes, with U.S. orders expected to open in mid-2026 or shortly after the initial European launch, depending on regional rollout plans.[6][4]
What this means for you (Miami, FL)
- If you value capability and comfort for mixed surfaces, the EX60 Cross Country is designed to deliver a more confident ride on less-than-perfect roads while maintaining strong EV efficiency and modern safety tech.[7][6]
- If you typically drive mainly on highways or well-maintained urban streets, the standard EX60 may offer a slightly smoother ride and possibly a lower price point, with the Cross Country serving as the more adventurous option.[6][7]
