The EX30 has three battery packs: 80.0-, 91.0-, and 112.0-kilowatt-hours, relying on the way you spec it. Each single- and dual-motor fashions can be found, with the SUV getting wherever from 369 to 503 horsepower on P6 and P10 trims, with the P12 providing a whopping 670 horsepower. The iX3 50 xDrive will get 463 hp, by comparability, and the GLC places out 483 hp.

Even the range-topping P12 with AWD (which doesn’t have a price ticket but) barely cracks 400 miles.

With an inexpensive price ticket (relative to the competitors) and first rate specs, the Volvo EX60 could possibly be an attention-grabbing possibility when it hits the market later this yr. Deliveries are anticipated later this spring.
Motor1’s Take: The EX60 looks like a classy and inexpensive electrical SUV in comparison with the BMW and Benz. Although the Germans technically have higher specs on paper, we’ll be curious to see how the electrical SUV stacks up when the rubber meets the highway.
