The automotive landscape is welcoming a new contender for enthusiasts of rugged yet refined electric vehicles: the 2028 Volvo EX60 Cross Country. Building on a legacy of adventure-ready Volvos, this model combines robust capability with sophisticated design, appealing to those who desire both environmental consciousness and a spirit of exploration.

Embrace the Electric Wilderness: The 2028 Volvo EX60 Cross Country Redefines Adventure

The Enduring Appeal of Cross Country: A Legacy Reimagined for the Electric Age

Volvo's "Cross Country" designation has long symbolized a blend of everyday utility and light off-road prowess, tracing its roots back to the popular 1997 Volvo V70 Cross Country. This heritage continues with the EX60 Cross Country, which is poised to captivate a new generation of drivers seeking a vehicle that looks and feels ready for the outdoors, without committing to extreme off-roading. Set to launch in the 2028 model year, following the standard electric EX60, this new addition underscores Volvo's commitment to expanding its electric vehicle lineup with diverse and appealing options.

Elevated Stature and Distinctive Design: Unmistakably Cross Country

True to its adventurous spirit, the EX60 Cross Country stands apart with a slightly elevated ride height, 0.8 inches higher than its conventional counterpart. This is further enhanced by an exclusive height-adjustable air suspension, allowing for an additional 0.8 inches of lift, culminating in a total ground clearance increase of 1.6 inches when needed. This adaptable suspension also intelligently lowers the vehicle at higher speeds to optimize efficiency. Visually, the EX60 XC showcases a broader track, extended wheel arches seamlessly integrated into the lower body cladding, and unique 21-inch black wheels. Subtle "Cross Country" badging on the rear bumper and D-pillar trim, alongside stainless-steel skid plate-like accents, complete the rugged exterior. The exclusive Frost Green paint option, inspired by Scandinavian landscapes, adds a touch of unique style.

Power and Practicality: Beyond the Pavement Capabilities

While not a dedicated rock-crawler, the EX60 Cross Country offers respectable off-road clearances, ranging from 7.0 to 7.6 inches, and boasts an impressive wading depth of 17.7 inches for cautious water crossings. Its towing capacity is particularly notable, at 4500 pounds, surpassing the combustion-powered XC60 by 1000 pounds. Powering this electric adventurer are two formidable all-wheel-drive options: the standard P10 setup delivers a robust 503 horsepower and 524 pound-feet of torque, while the premium P12 variant escalates performance to a substantial 670 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. Estimated range figures are appealing, with the P10 offering approximately 300 miles and the P12 expected to deliver around 380 miles on a single charge.

Interior Sophistication and Advanced Technology: A Sanctuary on Wheels

Inside, the EX60 Cross Country mirrors the standard EX60's attractive and modern cabin. Key features include a distinctive squircle-shaped steering wheel, a sleek, high-mounted digital gauge cluster, and a prominent 15.1-inch curved OLED touchscreen. This central display runs on a Google-based infotainment system, supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A thoughtful physical volume roller below the screen provides intuitive control for the optional 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system. Volvo's design ethos shines through with abundant storage solutions and practical bins integrated throughout the interior, complemented by a panoramic sunroof that enhances the sense of space and connection to the outside world.

Anticipated Arrival and Pricing: A Glimpse into the Future

While official pricing details for the 2028 EX60 Cross Country are yet to be announced, industry projections suggest a starting price point between $65,000 and $75,000. Enthusiasts and prospective buyers can look forward to its arrival at U.S. dealerships sometime in the summer of 2027, marking a significant step in Volvo's journey towards an all-electric and adventure-ready future.

Volvo is making a significant stride in the electric vehicle market with the introduction of its 2027 EX60, a move designed to bolster its EV sales which saw a decline last year. As the successor to the highly successful XC60, the EX60 is built on Volvo's advanced SPA3 electric-only architecture, allowing for optimal EV design without the constraints of internal combustion engine compatibility.

The EX60 showcases a sleek exterior, mirroring design elements from the larger EX90, including innovative integrated door handles that contribute to an impressive drag coefficient of 0.26 for enhanced range. The interior emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic with a nearly button-free cabin, leveraging a sophisticated infotainment system powered by Google's Gemini AI for intuitive voice control. This new model promises a refined user experience, addressing previous software challenges faced by the brand's EX90, ensuring smooth operation and instant map loading. Furthermore, the cabin offers premium audio with 28 speakers and ample storage, benefiting from a flat floor design enabled by the dedicated EV platform.

Performance-wise, the EX60 is engineered for both efficiency and exhilaration. It comes in single-motor (P6) and dual-motor (P10 AWD and P12 AWD) configurations, offering up to 670 horsepower and a blistering 3.8-second 0-60 mph acceleration for the top-tier model. The flagship P12 AWD variant, equipped with a 112 kWh battery, boasts a remarkable range of up to 400 miles. Charging is exceptionally fast, with the ability to replenish from 10% to 80% in just 19 minutes using a 400 kW charger. A notable innovation is the inclusion of a native NACS port, granting seamless access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network. The EX60 also incorporates mega-casting technology and cell-to-body battery integration, reducing weight and enhancing structural integrity. While deliveries for the standard EX60 begin this summer in the U.S., the rugged Cross Country version will arrive in 2027, offering a raised suspension and a tougher aesthetic.

The introduction of the Volvo EX60 represents a forward-thinking approach to electric mobility, blending high performance, long-range capability, and user-centric design with a commitment to innovation and sustainability. It reflects Volvo's dedication to evolving its vehicle lineup and adapting to the future demands of environmentally conscious consumers.
