Volvo has confirmed that its upcoming midsize electric SUV, the EX60, will achieve an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 330 miles, surpassing earlier projections and making it the longest-range electric vehicle the Swedish automaker has ever offered. The company has already positioned the 2027 model as a breakthrough in its EV lineup, highlighting that the new range figure addresses one of the biggest concerns for electric-car buyers.
The EX60 enters the competitive midsize electric SUV segment, a category that has seen rapid growth in Saudi Arabia. Likely rivals already sold in the Kingdom include the Tesla Model Y, the BMW iX3, and the Audi Q6 e-tron. For Saudi shoppers, the new Volvo stands out with its class-leading range, which could make it a strong contender for those who frequently travel between cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.
Saudi buyers should watch for how the EX60 performs in real-world conditions, particularly in extreme heat. High temperatures can affect battery efficiency and charging speeds, so thermal management will be a key factor. Additionally, local pricing and the availability of Volvo’s service network across the Kingdom will influence its appeal. With Volvo’s reputation for safety and Scandinavian design, the EX60 could attract buyers seeking a premium, long-range electric option in the region.
