Volvo repositions electric vehicle range
When the all-electric mid-size SUV arrives, it will change the game in the largest electric market segment in terms of range, charging speed, performance, and price.
Volvo Cars long-term aim is to become a fully electric car company, and it also aims to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
With four all-electric models already on Australian shores the local arm continues to retain its position as an industry leader in electrification with a model line-up to align with consumer demands.
“To accommodate the arrival of the game changing EX60 it is paramount that we alter our current game plan,” said Volvo Car Australia managing director, Stephen Connor.
“This alignment sets us up perfectly for the introduction of our newest addition. When the vehicle arrives to Australia it will be one of the safest cars on the market and it represents the purest form of the Volvo Cars Safety standard, going above and beyond regulations and ratings required.
“Volvo Cars’ multi-adaptive safety belt, a world-first and award-winning safety innovation, will offer smarter and more personalised protection in the front row.
“The vehicle will also dispel the range anxiety question once and for all as the EX60 demonstrates that going electric is no longer a compromise.
“Design, engineering, hardware and software all work together to create a car that optimises driving range and matches many petrol cars.”
“I would expect that with this action even more customers will see and experience the benefits of our almost 100-year history commitment to safety, longevity, and of course Scandinavian design.
“The Swedish Dream is now closer than ever before.”
