Explore Volvo EX60 Exterior
Ex60 models were built by subtraction, with fewer parts adding up to more precision. Because when every detail has purpose, beauty comes naturally. When you first encounter the EX60, it feels like the start of a new chapter in electric design. It carries the strong, sculptural presence of an SUV, yet every curve works with the air, not against it. A low front and gently sloping roof let air flow smoothly over the body, while the raised cabin maintains a confident driving position without increasing drag. Frameless doors and flush glazing keep airflow clean along the sides, and subtle deflectors at the front wheels calm turbulence around the arches. Beneath the 2026 EX60, a flat underbody reduces resistance, while the tapered rear lets air detach cleanly to support range.
Athletic Volvo XC60 Styling
Athletic posture. Functional beauty. This modern family SUV doesn't just get you there, it announces you've arrived. The sculpted exterior of the XC60 conveys a sense of motion, even when sitting parked. And because it draws from our Scandinavian design heritage, every detail is beautiful and practical. It also has a new grille design and darkened tail lamps for a freshened, dynamic look. Chiseled curves around the wheel arches enhance the car’s powerful road presence. High ground clearance looks commanding and offers excellent visibility. Windows sit flush and stretch low down the doors, filling the cabin with light. The wheels are large, eye-catching, technical – a final flourish on a dynamic design.
