Volvo EX60 electric all-wheel drive: range, specifications, availability and price


For the EX60, Volvo uses Technology from cell to bodyWhich means that the battery cells are placed directly inside the body, so the outer casing becomes part of the solidity of the body itself. Volvo claims this results in a 20 percent improvement in energy density, while reducing weight and taking up less space. Not many other manufacturers have gone this route yet, but expect to see more companies doing so.

The new undercarriage, chassis and suspension are improved over the setup on the current EX90. Volvo is also very happy with how it uses it Huge broadcast To manufacture parts of the car, such as the entire lower rear section, they are cast by an 8,400-ton casting machine into giant pieces of aluminum. This replaces about 100 separate parts with a single layer of metal, and makes the entire body structure stiffer and lighter. This is nothing new for Volvo; Tesla and XPeng They use the same manufacturing technology in some electric vehicles.

As is the case with BMW and Jaguar at the moment, Volvo is keen to highlight the computing power of the EX60. Its Snapdragon Cockpit platform uses the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin and the new Qualcomm 8255 CPU, making the EV’s “brain” capable of more than 250 trillion operations per second. It’s also the first Volvo to feature Google Gemini integration, once again going toe-to-toe with BMW, which announced in CES In January, the iX3’s smart personal assistant was powered by Amazon’s Alexa+.

Volvo’s Pilot Assist Plus means you can travel on highways at speeds of up to 80 mph while the system steers and changes lanes for you. But the driving assistance program is not “out of sight.”

Volvo invented the modern three-point seat belt in 1959, so I’m particularly keen to see a brand new version of this iconic safety technology first unveiled in the EX60: the world’s first multi-adaptive seat belt. Different from the traditional system you’re familiar with, this belt appears to use real-time sensor data to adjust tension based on your body characteristics, traffic conditions, and crash severity.
