Volvo EX60 - Roberto Lonardi racconta la nuova EX60
March 18, 2026·6 min
The episode features Roberto Lonardi detailing the launch of the Volvo EX60, an electric SUV in the D Premium segment where Volvo is already a leader with the hybrid XC60. He notes that pre-order collection has been extremely important, leading to a production increase before the car hits the market. The EX60 will have three engine configurations: a single motor and two all-wheel-drive options with varying power and battery capacities. The top P12 engine achieves over 800 km of range, specifically 810 km, and can recharge 350 km of driving in just nine minutes due to 800-volt technology. Pricing is comparable to plug-in hybrid variants, making technology choice based on use rather than cost. The car includes Gemini, an AI assistant developed by Google, which enhances user experience and safety. AI operates on two fronts: improving security with features like multi-adaptive seat belts and enabling intuitive interaction as a travel companion that learns from sensors and driving data. The CrossCountry variant revives a historic Volvo concept, adding aesthetic elements and pneumatic suspensions that adjust height by up to 40 mm for off-road capability or lower for highway efficiency and stability. Volvo's safety heritage is highlighted with the invention of seat belts in 1959, which were made available to all manufacturers via an open patent. Today, AI adapts these seat belts to perfect safety based on occupant and accident conditions. The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to follow MotorCube for updates.
