## What the EX60 actually costs to buy

Volvo's EX60, unveiled in January 2026 and intended to replace the XC60 as the brand's best-selling model, launches in the UK with three trims. The entry P6 starts at £56,860 for a single rear-wheel-drive motor and an 80kWh usable battery giving up to 385 miles WLTP range. The P10 steps up to £59,860 with dual motors, all-wheel drive and a 91kWh battery for up to 410 miles. The range-topping P12, priced at £64,860 and not entering production until later in 2026, uses a 112kWh battery for Volvo's headline figure of up to 503 miles WLTP, edging past the BMW iX3's 500-mile claim to make the EX60 the longest-range EV on sale in the UK at the time of writing. All three trims use an 800-volt electrical architecture with peak DC charging up to 370kW on the P10 and P12, recovering around 211 miles of range in 10 minutes according to Volvo.

## The insurance group gap worth flagging honestly

Unlike most launches covered on this site, the EX60's specific ABI insurance group rating is not yet published by any group-rating source at the time of writing, which is normal for a genuinely new model: the ABI and Lloyds Market Association's Group Rating Panel typically assesses a car using Thatcham Research crash and security testing data that takes time to generate after launch. Volvo's existing electric range gives a rough sense of where the EX60 is likely to land: the smaller EX40 sits toward the lower end of Volvo's spread, while the flagship EX90 sits around group 40\. Given the EX60's size, price and dual-motor performance on the P10 and P12, a group somewhere in the high 30s to low 40s would not be surprising, but this is an estimate based on comparable Volvo models, not a confirmed rating, and should be treated as such until Thatcham publishes an actual figure.

## VED: no trim escapes the supplement

The expensive car supplement threshold for electric cars rose from £40,000 to £50,000 from 1 April 2026, a genuine relief for cheaper EVs, but it does nothing for the EX60: even the entry P6 at £56,860 sits £6,860 above the raised threshold. All three trims therefore pay the supplement, currently £440 a year on top of the £200 standard rate, for five years from the second year of registration, a combined £640 a year regardless of which trim is chosen. Buyers comparing the EX60 against cheaper EVs specifically to avoid this charge need to look well below £50,000, a bracket the EX60 does not reach in any configuration.

| Trim      | Price   | WLTP range | VED years 2-6 |
| --------- | ------- | ---------- | ------------- |
| P6 (RWD)  | £56,860 | 385 miles  | £640/yr       |
| P10 (AWD) | £59,860 | 410 miles  | £640/yr       |
| P12 (AWD) | £64,860 | 503 miles  | £640/yr       |

Prices and range figures per volvocars.com, July 2026\. VED figures per gov.uk 2026/27 rates; all EX60 trims exceed the £50,000 expensive car supplement threshold.

## Charging cost per mile

Using the P10's official range and battery figures as a mid-range example, energy consumption works out at roughly 3.7 miles per kWh on Volvo's own testing, equivalent to around 1.9p per mile on a 7p/kWh home overnight EV tariff, or roughly 7.1p per mile on Ofgem's capped 26.11p/kWh standard variable rate. The gap between home and public or standard-rate charging is consistent across this entire class of premium electric SUV: a driver charging exclusively overnight at home pays a fraction of the per-mile cost of one relying on the standard domestic rate or public rapid charging, making the choice of electricity tariff a bigger lever on real running costs than the difference between any of the three EX60 trims.

## An illustrative PCP example

Using the P10's £59,860 on-the-road price, a 10% deposit of roughly £5,986, and an illustrative three-year residual value in the 53-58% range reported for the EX60 range, the guaranteed future value would fall somewhere between roughly £31,700 and £34,700\. That leaves an amount to finance, before interest, in the region of £19,200 to £22,200 over a typical three-year agreement. As with the iX3 example, this is a worked illustration using published residual-value ranges rather than a specific lender's offer; actual PCP terms depend on the lender, deposit, mileage allowance and individual credit position, and a personalised quote from Volvo Car Financial Services or an independent broker is the only reliable way to establish real monthly costs.

## Warranty and delivery timing to check before ordering

Volvo covers the EX60 with a 10-year battery warranty, longer than the BMW iX3's 8-year cover, though the wider vehicle warranty runs to three years and 60,000 miles, a figure independent reviewers have described as underwhelming against rivals from Kia or other Far Eastern brands offering seven years. Buyers should also check delivery timing carefully by trim: the P6 and P10 are in production and deliveries began in mid-2026, but the range-topping P12, the version with the headline 503-mile range, does not enter production until later in 2026, meaning anyone drawn specifically to that figure faces a longer wait than the advertised on-sale date might suggest.
