As the EX60 has just been unveiled, Volvo surprises by immediately launching a Cross Country variant.
As expected and announced long ago, Volvo Cars has revealed its new 100% electric family SUV, the EX60. But contrary to all expectations, the Swedish manufacturer did not settle for presenting a unique model: at its launch, the EX60 comes with a Cross Country version. This is a surprising initiative, as this adventurous variant was rather anticipated to be introduced mid-cycle rather than at the start of the lineup.
With the EX60 Cross Country, Volvo instantly transposes its “all-road” DNA into the electric era. The model retains all the strengths of the EX60 – top-notch range, fast charging, and advanced safety technologies – while adding a more adventurous dimension. Since 1997, the Cross Country designation has symbolized at Volvo a more robust and expressive interpretation of its models, designed for those who want to escape the asphalt without giving up comfort.
Everything but a cardboard adventurer
Visually, this version stands out significantly. Offered exclusively in Boreal Green, a pale shade inspired by Scandinavian nature, it adopts specific rims, Cross Country markings, and stainless steel protective plates at both the front and rear. The widened wheel arches and more assertive presentation enhance its look as a SUV ready to venture off the beaten path.
But the EX60 Cross Country is not limited to an aesthetic treatment. Its ground clearance is raised by 20 mm compared to the standard EX60, with the possibility of gaining an additional 20 mm thanks to the air suspension. This also allows for lowering the vehicle on the highway to optimize stability, aerodynamics, and range.

Available for pre-order in certain European markets, the Volvo EX60 Cross Country will arrive later in France. Two AWD versions are planned: the P10, announced with up to 640 km of WLTP range, and the P12, promising even greater range. An unexpected opening move, but consistent with Volvo’s ambition to combine electrification and adventure spirit from day one.
