Volvo showed off the new EX60, then immediately revealed a tougher version of it.

It’s called the Cross Country, and it was unveiled on the same day as the regular electric SUV.

At a glance it looks different, but the idea goes deeper than styling.

This one is built for drivers who don’t want to stop when the road does.

What makes the Volvo EX60 Cross Country look different from the regular EX60

The Volvo EX60 Cross Country isn’t just a badge swap. 

Volvo treats it as a separate version of the EX60, following a Cross Country tradition that started back in 1997.

The easiest way to spot it is the color. 

Frost Green is exclusive to the Cross Country, and it’s meant to reflect Scandinavian forests and landscapes. 

It’s subtle, not flashy, and that’s kind of the point.

There are other changes too. 

The wheels are unique to this model. 

The wheel arches are wider and tougher-looking. 

Stainless-steel skid plates sit at the front and rear, and Cross Country badges appear on the bumpers and the D-pillar.

Volvo describes it as an SUV for people who want to ‘do more and see more,’ and visually, it backs that up.

How the suspension changes make it better away from paved roads

Looks only matter if the car can actually handle rougher ground. 

That’s where the Cross Country earns its name.

Compared with the regular EX60, this version sits about three quarters of an inch (20mm) higher off the ground. 

That extra height helps on uneven roads and gives the driver a better view ahead.

With the optional air suspension, the car can lift itself another 20mm when needed.

That’s useful for dirt tracks, snow, or badly maintained roads. 

When you’re back on the highway, the same system lowers the car to improve efficiency and stability.

All versions come with all-wheel drive, which helps with grip in slippery conditions.

The first model to launch is the P10 AWD Electric, with up to 397 miles of range under WLTP testing. 

A longer-range P12 AWD Electric version will follow.

Pre-orders are already open in some European markets.

In the end, the EX60 Cross Country isn’t trying to be a hardcore off-roader. 

It’s an electric SUV that’s been lifted, toughened, and tuned just enough to keep going when the pavement ends.
