The new Volvo EX60 is expected to reach the US market in the coming months alongside BMW’s new iX3 and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLC EV. Pricing details released by Volvo now offer a clearer picture of how these three electric crossovers compare before deliveries begin later this year.
Volvo’s lineup includes multiple trims and battery configurations, with both single-motor and dual-motor versions available. The company is also introducing a high-performance P12 variant producing up to 670 horsepower, while range and charging figures place the EX60 directly against its German rivals.
Volvo Undercuts BMW With Its Entry-Level EX60
The base Volvo EX60 P6 Plus starts at $59,795 with the mandatory $1,395 destination fee included. Buyers opting for all-wheel drive can move to the P10 Plus, priced at $62,145. Higher trims include the P6 Ultra at $66,395 and the P10 Ultra AWD at $68,745.
According to Motor1, the BMW iX3 50 xDrive currently starts at $62,850 with destination included, although the publication notes that a less expensive version could eventually join the lineup. Mercedes-Benz has not yet announced official pricing for the electric GLC, though estimates place it around the $60,000 mark.
The pricing strategy places Volvo directly in the middle of a rapidly expanding electric SUV category where manufacturers are balancing premium positioning with growing market pressure. Volvo appears to be targeting buyers looking for a lower entry price without stepping away from high-output configurations.
Three Battery Packs and up to 670 Horsepower
The EX60 offers three battery pack choices: 80.0-kWh, 91.0-kWh, and 112.0-kWh units depending on trim and specification. Single-motor and dual-motor versions are available across the range.
Power output starts at 369 horsepower and rises to 503 horsepower for P6 and P10 versions. The top-tier P12 model reaches 670 horsepower. By comparison, the BMW iX3 50 xDrive delivers 463 horsepower, while the Mercedes-Benz GLC EV produces 483 horsepower.
Range figures differ notably between the three competitors. The EX60 P6 is rated at 307 miles of range, while the EX60 P10 AWD reaches 322 miles. Even the range-leading P12 AWD “barely cracks” 400 miles.
BMW currently leads this category on paper. The iX3 50 xDrive is rated at 434 miles of range, while Mercedes-Benz says the upcoming GLC EV will exceed 400 miles when it launches.
Volvo Highlights Faster Charging Capability
Charging performance is one area where Volvo edges ahead of the BMW iX3. The EX60 P6 can recharge from 10 to 80 percent in 16 minutes at charging speeds of up to 320 kilowatts. The P10 AWD achieves the same charging window in 16 minutes as well, reaching up to 370 kilowatts.
The P12 AWD requires 19 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent while also supporting charging rates up to 370 kilowatts. In comparison, the BMW iX3 50 xDrive completes the same charging cycle in 21 minutes.
Motor1 reported that deliveries of the Volvo EX60 are expected later this spring. The publication described the SUV as a potentially attractive option for buyers seeking a premium electric crossover at a comparatively lower starting price, even as BMW and Mercedes-Benz post stronger range figures on paper.
