LONDON: Volvo Cars provides a first look at the all-electric EX60 in another flavour as it introduces the newest entry in its popular line-up of Cross Country models.
The EX60 Cross Country provides customers with all the benefits found in the EX60: class-leading electric range, fast charging, and state-of-the-art technology.
With this variant, however, Volvo Cars also brings its Cross Country heritage into a new era of modern, electric Volvo cars.
First introduced in 1997, all Cross Country models come with a bold, distinctive design, a more robust and expressive look.
“The EX60 Cross Country is the EX60 for anyone with a ‘go anywhere’ attitude,” says chief commercial officer Erik Severinson.
“Built to do more and see more, the EX60 Cross Country embodies not only the sense of exploration but also a reflection of achievement."
It comes with a new colour, called Frost Green, which is exclusive to this car.
The EX60 Cross Country also comes with special wheels that are exclusive to Cross Country models, as well as clear, well-considered Cross Country branding in the front and rear bumpers as well as on the D-pillar.
Skid plates in brushed stainless steel at the front and back emphasise the car’s expressive look, while wider rugged wheel arches further enhance its overall presence.
Compared with the EX60, the Cross Country sits another 20mm higher off the ground, which further boosts that visibility and sense of control.
With the help of the air suspension, drivers can add another 20mm of riding height if needed.
The air suspension can also lower the car, which enhances high-speed efficiency, stability and aerodynamics.
This is especially helpful for drivers that travel on the highway and want to maximise the range of the battery.
The Volvo EX60 Cross Country is now available for pre-orders in some European markets.
Customers can choose between two all-wheel-drive powertrain options: a P10 AWD Electric with up to 397 miles (639km) of range which is the first variant to become available, followed shortly after by a P12 AWD Electric with longer range.
