The all-new Volvo EX60 has landed — and it's one of the most significant electric vehicles to arrive in the UK in years. With class-leading range, ultra-rapid charging, a world-first safety system, and Google Gemini AI built in, the EX60 is Volvo's boldest statement yet that going electric is no longer a compromise.
For drivers exploring an electric SUV lease, the EX60 presents a compelling case: a car that's genuinely better than its petrol equivalent for everyday use, available across three powertrain grades to suit a range of monthly budgets. Here's everything you need to know.

Why Lease the Volvo EX60?
Leasing is an ideal way to get into a car like the EX60. The upfront cost of a premium electric SUV can be significant to purchase outright, but on a personal or business lease you access the full specification — including the latest technology, over-the-air software updates, and a 10-year battery warranty — for a fixed monthly amount, with no depreciation risk.
The EX60 is particularly well suited to leasing for another reason: it's a car Volvo has designed to improve over time. Regular over-the-air updates mean the car you hand back at the end of your term will be more capable than the one you drove away in. That's a genuine benefit for lessees, and it protects residual values too.

Range: Up to 503 Miles on a Single Charge
The EX60's range figures are the headline story, and rightly so. Volvo's new SPA3 platform — featuring cell-to-body battery technology, next-generation in-house electric motors, and mega casting — delivers WLTP-certified range that comfortably matches or exceeds most petrol SUVs' real-world capability between fill-ups.
EX60 P6 RWD: Up to 385 miles (86kWh battery)
EX60 P10 AWD: Up to 410 miles (95kWh battery)
EX60 P12 AWD: Up to 503 miles (112kWh battery)
Even on the entry P6, 385 miles of range means most drivers in the UK — where the average daily mileage is well under 30 miles — will rarely need to charge away from home. The P12's 503-mile figure places it among the very longest-range electric cars available to lease today, edging ahead of the new BMW iX3's 500-mile top-spec figure.
This is what Volvo means when they describe the shift from "range anxiety" to "range comfort" — and it's a fair characterisation.
Charging: A Coffee Stop Is All You Need
Range is only part of the equation. The EX60's 800-volt electrical architecture enables some of the fastest charging available in the segment.
The P10 and P12 variants support a peak DC charge rate of 370kW, while the P6 accepts up to 320kW. On a suitable 400kW rapid charger, the P10 and P12 can recover around 211 miles of range in just ten minutes — enough to make a motorway charge stop little more than a quick coffee break.
A 10–80% charge completes in approximately 19 minutes on the dual-motor variants, and 22 minutes on the P6. Volvo's Breathe Charge intelligent battery management software can reduce DC charging time by up to 30% by pre-conditioning the battery ahead of a planned stop.
For comparison, the BMW iX3 supports a peak charge rate of 400kW with a similar 10–80% time of around 21 minutes. The two cars are very closely matched on charging, with neither offering a clear advantage in everyday use.

Which EX60 Variant Should You Lease?
Volvo offers the EX60 in seven trim levels across three powertrain variants, giving lessees a genuine range of monthly price points and specifications. Here's a summary of the three core powertrain grades:
P6 RWD — entry point to the EX60 range
Single rear motor, 369hp, 385-mile range. 0–62mph in 5.9 seconds. The most affordable EX60 to lease each month, and still an exceptionally well-specified car. Ideal for drivers who prioritise value and don't require all-wheel drive.
P10 AWD — the sweet spot
Dual motor, all-wheel drive, 503hp, 410-mile range. 0–62mph in 4.6 seconds. For most drivers this is the pick of the range: a meaningful step up in range, performance, and all-weather confidence for a modest increase in monthly cost.
P12 AWD — the flagship
Dual motor, all-wheel drive, 671hp, 503-mile range. 0–62mph in 3.9 seconds. For drivers who want the absolute best — the longest range, the strongest performance, and the definitive EX60 experience.
All variants are available on both personal contract hire (PCH) and business contract hire (BCH). Business users benefit from reduced Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rates on electric vehicles — currently 3% for the 2025/26 tax year — making the EX60 a highly tax-efficient company car.
Volvo EX60 vs BMW iX3: Which Should You Lease?
The new BMW iX3 launched just ahead of the EX60 and has been widely praised as a landmark electric BMW. Both cars target the same premium family SUV buyer, both are built on new ground-up EV platforms, and both deliver around 500 miles of WLTP range. So how should lessees choose between them?
Monthly cost: The EX60 P6 undercuts the iX3 at launch, making it the more accessible lease entry point. The iX3 currently launches in a single powertrain variant, while Volvo gives you more choice across the range.
Range: The EX60 P12 offers 503 miles vs 500 miles for the top-spec iX3 — functionally identical, but Volvo takes the segment bragging rights.
Charging: Both support rapid DC charging with similar 10–80% times (approximately 19–21 minutes). No meaningful difference for day-to-day lessee use.
Performance: The EX60 P12 is significantly quicker (3.9 seconds, 671hp vs 4.9 seconds, 463hp for the iX3). Both are more than quick enough for real-world driving.
Interior technology: The EX60 debuts Google Gemini AI as a deeply integrated assistant; the iX3 introduces BMW's Panoramic iDrive with a striking full-width windscreen display. These represent two genuinely different and impressive approaches — it comes down to personal preference.
Safety: The EX60's multi-adaptive safety belt is a world-first innovation named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2025. Both cars are expected to achieve five-star Euro NCAP ratings.
Our recommendation: If monthly value, wider powertrain choice, and maximum range are your priorities, the EX60 wins. If you're drawn to BMW's driving dynamics and new design direction, the iX3 remains an outstanding lease choice. We offer competitive deals on both — see all Volvo EX60 lease deals & BMW iX3 lease deals.

Design: Scandinavian Efficiency, Inside and Out
The EX60 is immediately recognisable as a Volvo, with Thor's Hammer LED lighting, a clean Scandinavian exterior, and a low, aerodynamic roofline that contributes to a drag coefficient of just 0.26. New for the EX60 are wing-grid door handles — flush-fitting, electronically latched, and a neat detail that reduces drag while adding a premium feel.
Inside, the long wheelbase and completely flat floor (a benefit of the new SPA3 platform) create exceptional rear legroom for a family SUV, alongside a large boot and thoughtful storage throughout. For music lovers, the optional 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system — complete with headrest speakers in all four main seats and Apple Music with Dolby Atmos pre-installed — is among the finest audio systems in any car at this price point.
Technology: Gemini AI and the Most Intelligent Volvo Ever Built
The EX60 is powered by HuginCore — Volvo's core computing platform, developed with Google, NVIDIA and Qualcomm — and it's the first Volvo to integrate Google's Gemini AI assistant. Unlike basic voice commands, Gemini allows natural, conversational interaction: ask it to find a charging stop en route, check if a piece of luggage will fit in the boot, or plan a cross-country drive without needing to memorise specific phrases.
The infotainment experience is notably faster and more responsive than previous Volvo models, with instant screen response and smooth map loading. As a lessee, the over-the-air update capability is particularly valuable — the car improves throughout your contract, meaning you benefit from new features without waiting for a new model.
New to the Volvo range is Navi Pilot Assist — a Level 2+ semi-autonomous driving system for motorway use, allowing the car to steer, accelerate and brake with minimal driver input (UK law requires the driver to remain alert and in control throughout).
Safety: A World First in Every EX60
Every EX60 comes with Volvo's multi-adaptive safety belt as standard in the front seats — a world-first safety innovation that adapts seatbelt tension in real time based on collision severity, occupant size, and seating position. It was named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2025, and it's the kind of safety leadership that has always defined the Volvo brand.
HuginCore enables continuous 360-degree environmental monitoring through the car's sensor array, supporting a comprehensive suite of active safety systems. The structural foundation is a reinforced boron steel safety cage, designed to meet and exceed the latest Euro NCAP requirements.

Should You Lease the Volvo EX60?
The EX60 is built for exactly the kind of driver who leases. It offers the latest technology, knowing that a newer model will follow in a few years' time. It provides a fixed monthly cost with no depreciation exposure on a vehicle that — like all EVs — is still finding its residual value floor. And it delivers a 10-year battery warranty that comprehensively covers the length of any lease agreement.
If you're already leasing a premium petrol or diesel SUV — an Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, or BMW X3, for example — the EX60 represents a genuinely compelling like-for-like replacement. It's larger inside, cheaper to run in terms of fuel and servicing, and more technologically advanced than anything it replaces.
And if you're making your first move into an electric lease, the EX60 makes that transition as straightforward as possible: the range removes the anxiety, the charging speed removes the inconvenience, and the quality of the product removes any sense of compromise.
