Well it looks like it’s official here in the states. The p12 isn’t even listed on the configuration site anymore but the p6 is again along with p10. Looks like they have delayed it again into late 2027 so cancelling my order today for the allocation. Sucks cuz I had such high hopes for that model/trim but onto greener pastures I guess. Might look at the BMW I x5 60e or the R2 as my back up.
Hi, i'm really interested in the EX60.
As for the exterior color, I'm leaning toward Forest Lake—it seems the most exciting of the available options.
I'd go with the P10 Plus.
I have two kids, so I’m really unsure about the seats. The light-colored seats are, of course, really cool, and the Plus model comes with Nodico, which is supposed to be easy to clean,
but with kids and cream-colored back seats, you’re not doing yourself any favors.
Actually, I don’t really want black either—it all seems a bit too boring and dark.
That leaves only Kardamon; in the Nautico trim, the back seats are apparently even black.
I like the color, too, and it looks okay to me in pictures, but I haven’t seen it in person anywhere yet and I’m just unsure.
What’s your opinion on Forest Lake and Kardamon...
Has anyone seen this combination in person before?
Thanks a lot!
The Volvo website has quietly been updated. Previously the car was listed as having "Communication in car" where the speech from the front seats are amplified for the rear seat passengers. This has been removed for all the local Volvo sites I've checked.
When trying to ask Volvo about it in their official website, they don't approve the post.
Also had a question about the filtering of charging stations, where the current software cannot filter between Volvo's own partners part of the paid subscription. You can select the Volvo Charging Network, but it will use all chargers in the network, not only the ones where you have paid to get a 30% discount.
So its not that user friendly, and it becomes hard to use your paid subscription. But again Volvo does not accept the post.
Hey everyone,
Has anyone seen the ex60 show up in US showrooms yet? I’m just waiting and waiting to see what it looks and feels like in person.
I’m in SoCal and they say maybe end of August or September or October lol.
Hey all,
A little over two weeks ago I asked about anyone knowing what Software version the EX60 is running on. Now I can answer this myself for anybody that is interested.
3.1.14 (released on August 17th). So it‘s a bit further than ES90, EX90 and Polestar 3 which run on 3.0.33 released on 13th of August.

Results they got:
100 kmh 60 mph: 17 kWh 3,65 miles/kWh Range P10: 540 km 335 miles P12: 660 km 410 miles
130 kmh 80 mph: 22 kWh 2,8 miles/kWh Range P10: 418 km 260 miles P12: 509 km 316 miles
160 kmh 100 mph: 33 kWh 1,9 miles/kWh Range P10: 280 km 170 miles P12: 340 km 210 miles
Loving the EX60. Especially from what I've seen of the cross country. Tempted ahead of the ix3 even though I prefer the ix3 interior, displays etc. Cabin storage has been mentioned as an issue a few times. Lack of real centre console storage and the centre glove box. Not remotely a deal breaker but I'm hoping some options are emerging that could help?
Is this cabin storage question an over stated issue or a real one?
Thanks
These three are seemingly the best cars in this class.
I watched and read a bunch of reviews and the reviews either avoid a direct comparison or make a very careful one without really stating an opinion.
Which car of these three do *you* prefer and why? 🙏
Finally drove the EX60 yesterday. Almost exactly the configuration that I’ve ordered - Forest Lake - P10 Ultra with light interiors. The only difference was that I’ve ordered 21“ wheels and the test car had 22“.
There is a lot of interest in the car, so they had back-to-back test drives booked. I’d booked the test drive with my seller a couple of months ago on the phone. Other folks had booked a test drive on the Volvo website and the two didn’t match, so there were a few double or triple booked slots. We had to wait a bit.
Now for the drive itself. It was wonderful overall. The door handles felt very natural. The steering wheel felt a bit too small but not too bad. I drove on the highway, within the city and took some winding roads as well. Highway driving was very smooth. Not much road noise. Pilot assist worked great as well. Google maps was nice. I didn’t quite get used to the front display. I kept looking at the centre display for directions (I’m coming from MY20 XC60).
City driving was smooth as well. The single pedal driving was not very predictable. It kept rolling when I lifted my foot when I put it on Automatic mode. I need to figure out how it really works. I tried the performance mode on some winding roads. The power response is great. However the car was leaning more than I would’ve expected for an EV.
Now for the issues. I encountered only one - The audio wouldn’t play. The radio didn’t work. So I didn’t get to experience the B&W sound system - except for Google maps navigation instructions. The salesperson said that it was the first time they saw this issue.
My salesperson at Volvo Metro West in Toronto called me today to sign some "paperwork for processing on their end" that "doesn't lock me in", and asked me to e-sign it before store close today, giving me less than two hours to put my signature in. It is a Bill of Sale for C$102,848.29, with the words "I, the purchaser, [my name], agree to purchase the following vehicle from you, the dealer, on the terms set out in this agreement including the vehicle information document which forms part of this agreement."
I've made it quite clear I don't want to be locked into a purchase before test driving the vehicle, and already put my $1,500 deposit. I just told him before close I will not sign until at least a test drive.
Was I about to be duped into a locked-in sale? Or did all of us who've put a deposit for the EX60 get this?
Took a test drive of a Rivian R2 recently and one of the cool things was the side view camera comes up on the drivers display when engaging the turn signal. Does the EX60 do this?
I‘m thinking about getting the original Volvo dashcams for my 2025 XC60.
Does anyone have real life experience with this dashcam?
Any insights are highly appreciated!
I spent a weekend with the new Volvo EX60 P10 Ultra. This was the first car we tested as a possible replacement for our Audi A4 B9.5.
Visually, I really like the car, both inside and out. The cabin is spacious, the boot is large, and there is also a useful frunk.
Performance feels more than sufficient. The car accelerates confidently at any speed, although at the same time it doesn't really encourage very dynamic driving.
Over the weekend we drove around 430 km on very different roads: almost 200 km of motorway, expressways at up to 120 km/h, country roads and city streets. Thanks to the navigation, we even ended up on some mountain pass with a narrow and twisty road.
Average energy consumption over the whole weekend was 18.5 kWh/100 km.
During relaxed city and suburban driving at around 70–90 km/h, the computer showed roughly 15 kWh/100 km. At 140 km/h it was around 22 kWh/100 km in good, calm weather on fairly flat stretches.
We picked the car up with 90% charge, so we only made one short charging stop at an Ionity 350 kW charger, with around 58% remaining. In about 8 minutes we charged to 80% and continued the trip.
My first impressions were very positive. The sound insulation is good, and the audio system sounds very good as well. But after driving it for the whole weekend, some drawbacks became more noticeable.
The interior layout is somewhat unusual. I would still like to have a traditional glovebox and a storage compartment under the armrest. The materials look good and feel soft, but they are quite easy to mark. Fingers and elbows leave visible traces. They are easy to wipe off, but still.
The infotainment system also left me with quite a few questions. Although I'm not sure how many modern cars actually have a truly intuitive and straightforward system these days.
UPD: One more odd thing: a few times the mirrors didn’t return to the position I had set them to after unlocking the car and unfolding. I definitely hadn’t adjusted them myself, so I’m not sure whether this was related to profiles/settings or simply a bug.
The steering feels very synthetic. Combined with the size and shape of the steering wheel, it wasn't particularly pleasant to use on narrow, twisty roads with tight corners.
The suspension over uneven surfaces was also somewhat disappointing. On roads of average quality, quite a lot of vibration and noise is transmitted into the cabin. Changing the adaptive suspension settings didn't help that much.
There were also a few details that felt strange considering the overall impression of the car.
When closing the frunk, I had to press down on it to latch it, and I was genuinely worried I might leave a dent. The metal feels very soft and thin.
The plastic covers over the roof-rack mounting points feel about as thin as a yoghurt cup.
This creates a bit of a contrast. The car looks massive and solid, but some of the details don't feel that way at all.
Of course, all of these impressions are subjective. This was only the first test drive among the cars we're considering as a replacement for our Audi A4 B9.5, and for the money I feel like it's missing a little bit of that premium feel and quality.
Still, if I put my own habits and preferences aside, the EX60 left a very positive overall impression and remains on our shortlist to buy. I’d be looking at the Cross Country P12 version, though.
P.S. This isn’t a review, just my subjective impressions. Don’t draw conclusions or form your opinion about the car based on my post alone.
P.S.S. For the avoidance of doubt: none of the photos or videos in this post were taken by the driver using a handheld phone while the car was moving =)
Have you had any updates on the delivery?
I took a tour of the dealership today, they announce a delivery here in France, around October 9 and their test vehicles do not arrive until September 15.
For information, I ordered an ultra P10 at the end of January. My original date was a delivery on July 20.
In the US, Volvo, 78% Chinese owned, and Mercedes, 20% Chinese owned, are facing a ban that will bar them from selling vehicles in the US market by 2030. The legislation has bipartisan support as of right now.
No 12V outlets inside main cabin (not the trunk area)? Another casualty of the minimalist interior, with no center console?
Apparently the tongue weight is about 440lns and the toe weight is about 4400lbs with electric breaks.
However the tow hitch doesn’t hav an electric break controller.
Has anyone towed a trailer requiring electric breaks and if so how did you do it?
I see the CC has a special color called frost green. I think I might have found my color choice!! Basically white with some hints of green. Pics look lovely. The CC model wasn’t on my bingo card but that color may be the deciding factor. Will have to see in person before making final choice. Luckily I have time.
Has anyone who placed an order early on gone through a cancellation/refund of deposit? Still waiting for a test drive (has been delayed repeatedly) and curious how painful it is.
