Volvo EX60 exterior details

Resembles a larger EX30

The front end of the EX60 has a split headlamp setup with ‘Thor’s hammer’ LED DRL signatures and LED headlamps on either side of the bumper. The grille gets a closed-off finish, and the bumper has a black scuff plate lower down.

The side profile features smooth surfaces overall, characterised by subtle character lines on the wheel arches and doors. There’s a sculpted crease and black cladding on the lower side of the doors. Moreover, instead of traditional door handles, the EX60 comes with illuminated wing grip handles mounted on the window line. Wheel sizes range from 20 inches to 22 inches, and the rear wheels are slightly wider for better traction.

At the back, there are slim LED tail-lights, a black strip on the upper side of the tailgate and thick black cladding, along with a thin silver strip for the rear bumper. The EX60 offers two exterior themes, namely ‘Bright’ and ‘Dark’. While the Bright theme uses silver accents for the door sills and bumpers, the Dark theme gets a black finish.

The EX60 is also available in a cross-country variant with 20mm more ground clearance, stainless steel skid plates, matte black cladding, an exclusive Frost green colour, unique interior theme and materials, and cross-country branding on the D-pillar and bumpers. It also features adaptive air suspension with off-road mode.
