The Volvo EX60 Cross Country is the rugged, go-anywhere version of Volvo’s new mid-size electric SUV — and it brings genuine off-road intent to the EV crossover class. Built only in the higher P10 AWD (503 hp) and P12 AWD (670 hp) forms, it adds a 20 mm lift over the standard EX60 with standard air suspension (a further 20 mm in off-road mode), stainless-steel skid plates, black cladding with matte-silver inserts, and Hill Descent Control. It rides on Volvo’s 800-volt platform with blistering DC charging — about 10–80% in 16–19 minutes — and is the brand’s first car with a native NACS port for adapter-free Tesla Supercharger access in North America. The Cross Country arrives after the standard EX60, reaching the US in summer 2027 (as a 2028 model), with pricing expected to climb from the standard car’s ~$60,000 toward the mid-$70,000s.
Performance & Powertrain
The Cross Country drops the standard EX60’s entry rear-drive P6 and is offered only as dual-motor all-wheel drive. The P10 AWD makes 503 hp (375 kW) and 710 Nm from a 91 kWh usable battery; the flagship P12 AWD steps up to 670 hp and 583 lb-ft with a larger 112 kWh usable pack, hitting 0–100 km/h in around 3.8 seconds. Everything sits on Volvo’s new 800V architecture, which enables very fast DC charging: Volvo quotes roughly 165–173 miles of range added in 10 minutes and a 10–80% top-up in about 16–19 minutes at peak (up to ~370 kW). EPA range lands near 300 miles for the Cross Country P10 on its standard 21-inch wheels. The key Cross Country hardware is the standard air suspension, which raises ride height in off-road mode, lowers it at speed to cut drag, and continuously adapts to road and driver inputs.

Dimensions & Practicality
| Length | 4,811 mm |
|---|---|
| Width | 1,899 mm |

At 4,811 mm long on a 2,970 mm wheelbase, the EX60 slots into the heart of the mid-size SUV class — the same territory as the combustion XC60 it’s designed to sit alongside. The Cross Country raises ground clearance to roughly 193 mm standard, with the air suspension adding another ~20 mm in off-road mode (about 213 mm total), while still able to drop at highway speed for efficiency. It seats five, with a usable frunk under the bonnet and configurable rear cargo for gear. Unladen weight for the P10 is around 2,370 kg. The look is pure rugged-Volvo: black wheel-arch and lower-body cladding, matte-silver accents, stainless skid plates and unique 20- or 21-inch wheels chosen for range and efficiency.

Design, Interior & Technology
Inside, the EX60 follows Volvo’s minimalist EV template: a large central touchscreen runs the infotainment, with a clean, decluttered dashboard and Scandinavian materials. The Cross Country adds its signature Midnight Blue tailored-knit upholstery with a wave-inspired pattern that doubles as seat ventilation — a Cross Country exclusive. Underpinning it all is what Volvo calls a core computer “super brain” that processes sensor data for safety and assisted-driving decisions, and the car receives over-the-air updates that add features over its life. Expect Volvo’s usual deep safety suite, plus the off-road drive mode and Hill Descent Control tuned specifically for the Cross Country’s adventure brief.
How It Compares
Verdict
- Up to 670 hp AWD with a ~3.8s 0-100 km/h
- Standard air suspension + up to ~213 mm clearance for real trails
- 800V platform — ~16-19 min 10-80%, Volvo’s fastest-charging EV
- First Volvo with native NACS (Supercharger access, no adapter)
- Skid plates, Hill Descent, off-road mode — genuine Cross Country kit
- Exclusive knit-ventilated interior and Volvo safety pedigree
- No cheaper rear-drive P6 on the Cross Country — AWD only
- Estimated mid-$70,000s pricing is steep vs a Rivian R2
- ~300-mile EPA range trails the standard EX60 P12’s ~400
- Arrives late — US deliveries not until summer 2027 (2028 MY)
- 180 km/h top speed is modest for the power on tap
- Final US pricing and full Cross Country specs not yet confirmed
The EX60 Cross Country is Volvo doing what Volvo does best — taking a sensible, beautifully-built family SUV and quietly making it tougher and more capable. The rugged kit here isn’t just cosmetic: standard air suspension, up to ~213 mm of clearance, stainless skid plates and Hill Descent Control give it real go-anywhere credibility, while the 800V platform and native NACS port fix the two things EV buyers care most about — charging speed and charging access. With up to 670 hp it’s seriously quick, too. The catches are price and timing: AWD-only means no bargain entry point, the estimated mid-$70,000s puts it well above a Rivian R2, and US buyers wait until summer 2027. But for someone who wants a premium, genuinely trail-ready electric SUV with the badge and safety reputation to match, the EX60 Cross Country looks like one of the most complete adventure EVs on the horizon.
